The yachts from Below Deck have become iconic as the show gains popularity. But how much are the guests paying for their charter?
Since it launched in 2013, Below Deck has been captivating viewers around the world by offering a peek into life on board multi-million dollar luxury charter yachts.
The reality TV franchise has spawned multiple spin-offs, including Below Deck: Mediterranean, Below Deck: Down Under, and Below Deck: Sailing Yacht, which have all become popular in their own right.
Each season follows crew members on various different yachts during charter season, and every episode is filled with dramatic scenes, storylines, and iconic moments.
The show recently aired its 10th season, which began in November 2022, and many fans can’t help but wonder how much a Below Deck charter costs.
