The bosun wasn’t thrilled with what number of complaints he obtained from Kerry, including, “He’s simply micromanaging galore. I’m sick of it. I don’t give a f—ok if he’s Captain or God. I can’t f—king win.”
After Kerry made a number of feedback about errors with the anchor drop and holding the outside of the boat clear, Ben aired out his grievances on display.
“I type of categorize Captain Kerry as army. There’s no visitors cones to say, ‘Warning forward.’ It simply drops and you might be within the s—t,” he added. “It isn’t the army, mate. It’s a bloody superyacht. I’m sick of it.”
Kerry, in the meantime, argued that the inside and exterior staff shouldn’t be slacking off. “I get actually aggravated in the present day. I’m f—king speechless. It isn’t the primary day, they know what is predicted of them,” he mentioned in a confessional. “It’s like, ‘The place is that this coming from? Why aren’t you doing all your job?’ That is simply ridiculous. I’m pissed.”
As a solution to hold everybody in verify, Kerry introduced cabin inspections on the second to final day. Under Deck viewers may not be used to seeing cabin inspections on the present however Kerry defined that it was a standard observe within the yachting trade.
“Now we have requirements that should be upheld all through the boat. Requirements of cleanliness, tidiness and we at the moment are as a result of do cabin inspections.

I don’t care if it’s the final two days of constitution. You’re solely pretty much as good as your final day, no excuses.”
The crew had a whole workday’s discover in regards to the inspections. Whereas many of the staff discovered time to wash their rooms, Ben and deckhand Kyle Stillie made it clear they wouldn’t be collaborating within the captain’s command.
“Properly, what’s he going to do? Fireplace us? I don’t care. I couldn’t give a f—ok proper now,” Ben fired again. “Can’t you see the larger image that we’re busting our ass? The constitution company are our essential precedence and focus. Give us a f—king break.”
Regardless of Ben claiming he had an excessive amount of on his plate, manufacturing confirmed him goofing off with Sunny Marquis as a substitute of cleansing his room. Fraser Olender was the one one who appeared excited by the prospect of Kerry analyzing his private area.
