‘Below Deck’ Season 12’s Cast: Meet Captain Kerry’s Yachties Causing Drama in the Caribbean
By Beth ShillidayLife & Style
Below Deck season 12 has a mostly brand-new crew of yachties who will be causing plenty of drama for Captain Kerry Titheradge aboard the St. David.
Seasons 10 and 11 Chief Stew Fraser Olender and season 11 deckhand Kyle Stillie are back for another round, this time cruising between the Caribbean islands of St. Maarten, Anguilla and St. Barths.
While treating guests to the adventures of a lifetime and partying like wild on their days off, these crew members will also provide some memorable boatmances as close quarters for beautiful young people usually results in multiple hookups.
Life & Style takes a closer look at the Below Deck season 12 cast.
Captain Kerry Titheradge Captain Kerry Titheradge is back for his second season leading the St. David's crew. He joined the show after being introduced on the short-lived Below Deck Adventure and took over for Captain Lee Rosbach. The Brisbane, Australia, native started in the yachting industry in 2004.

Fraser Olender Fans and Captain Lee took a shine to Fraser Olender in Below Deck season 9, when he was a steward under chief stew Heather Chase. Fraser got promoted to chief stew in season 10, and is back for his third season in the position. The London native is known for his impeccable taste and dry sense of humor.

Lawrence Snowden After Below Deck season 11 went through two chefs in Anthony Iracane, who was let go and replaced by Nick Tatlock, hopefully chef Lawrence Snowden will make it through the full charter season. The Sheffield, England, native joins the St. David with six years of experience in yachting industry galleys. Fred Jagueneau/Bravo Bravo Fred Jagueneau/Bravo
Caio Poltronieri Like Lawrence, hopefully Below Deck season 12 bosun Caio Poltronieri will make it through charter season. His first predecessor, Jared Woodin, was fired halfway through season 11, only to be replaced by deckhand Ben Willoughby, who clashed with Captain Kerry. The Brazil native comes aboard the St. David with the best hair since Below Deck Sailing Yacht alum Alex Propson, and joins the yacht with five years of experience in the industry.

Solène Favreau Stew Solène Favreau isn't new to reality TV, after appearing on season 2 of Love Island France. However, the Paris native is coming aboard the St. David with less than a month of yachting experience as she's worked in the industry for a mere 22 days. That should make for plenty of frustrating bed making, drink mixing and laundry tutorials for her boss, Fraser. Be prepared to see Solène hitting the hot tub quite a bit, as her Instagram page is filled primarily with smoldering bikini photos. Fred Jagueneau/Bravo Bravo Fred Jagueneau/Bravo
Rainbeau de Roos At least Fraser's other stew, Rainbeau de Roos, has five years of yachting experience and hopefully will be able to provide Solène with plenty of knowledge about the demands of interior work. Rainbeau lists her hometown as "The world" but told Bravo, "My heart will always belong to Southeast Asia." Rainbeau seems intent on bringing some drama to season 12, writing, "I didn't come to play - I came to stir the pot while serving looks and the charter guests," in the caption of her casting announcement via Instagram.

Barbara Kulaif Brazil native Barbara Kulaif is another stew who Fraser can hopefully count on, coming onto the St. David with three years' experience in yachting. Bravo Bravo
Kyle Stillie Season 12 has another returning cast member, as Kyle Stillie is back once again as a deckhand. "Well, they let me go round 2! (Season 12) Pretty wild affair this time round, soo excited to let you all in on it!" the Scotland native wrote via Instagram when confirming his casting announcement.

Jess Theron The Below Deck franchises continue to prove women can work just as hard as men on the ship's exterior, as deckhand and South Africa native Jess Theron joins season 12. "Luxury, high seas, and a little mayhem. See what I've gotten myself into," Jess teased the same day as the season 12 premiere on June 2, 2025. Bravo Bravo
