Below Deck Sailing Yachtseason 5 is making a change with former yachtie Chase Lemacks returning to the show to replace Emma Crouch, andhe should be Gary King’s permanent replacement. Throughout the first episodes ofBelow Deck Sailing Yachtseason 5, the exterior team had issues as they moved from charter to charter. While the exterior team, led by First Officer Gary along with Chief Engineer Davide Morosi and supported by deckhands Emma and Keith Allen, has been well-staffed, they were struggling through the charter season. After underperforming consistently, Gary and Captain Glenn Shephard had to let Emma go.
Although many issuesEmma faced while working aboard Parsifal IIIwere fixable, Gary struggled to manage his deckhands during the early charters ofBelow Deck Sailing Yachtseason 5. Gary, who’s been working as the Parsifal III’s First Officer on and offBelow Deckfor years, knew he was having issues with the way Emma was performing, but refused to speak up about his problems. Instead, he held in his agitation and continued to be harsh with Emma, which is reminiscent of how he’s dealt with problems in the past. Now,Chase will be coming in to save the season.

Though he was often challenged at every turn by Gary,Chase held his wits about him throughout the charter season and knew how to handle nearly every situationthat was asked of him. Successful in his role, the deckhand knew that he would easily fit in.
