The series follows the highs and lows of a crew who sail charter boats in Croatia’s Ionoian Sea.

After 23 seasons, it’s no surprise that two spin-offs were born:MediterraneanandSailing Yacht.

The new cast is definitely expected to shake things up.

“He’s a good sailor.

I could relax a little bit with a right-hand man there.

I didn’t have to explain to him, he understands.”

Captain Shephard also offered a little bit of dirt on the season.

It turns out that Captain Shephard has now become the first captain in series history to crash a yacht.

Shephard explained toShowbiz Cheat Sheetthat the accident was pretty rough.

“That particular [accident], I felt it.

In the end, it’s not quite as bad as I feared.

So I may have overreacted a little bit.

But yeah, it’s pretty serious.”

“I’ve never had an issue with the result like we had.

And it’s possible for you to tell I was quite upset about it.

The engines shut down.

I have no thrusters, nothing.

And that can be a little nerve-wracking.

That’s something that can be a showstopper, like an ‘end the season’ and kind of thing.

It’s something that can be very, very serious.

People can get injured, it can be very serious.”

“Whoever’s check clears the bank is on the show!

I wish I could be picky” (via Reddit).

Luckily, guests don’t have to pay the full $150,000 fee to charter such a yacht.

“The guests pay their own real money to charter the boat.

We ask them to tip about 15% to 20% of the full cost though.

The tip amount is up to them as well.

They are not compensated, but we pay their airfare” (via Reddit).

Some get a rush out of it I guess.

Fans who watched the first season ofBDSLlikely remember one guest who caused a lot of problems.

I don’t want to get the f****** linens dirty."
