What Does ‘Below Deck’ Alum Kate Chastain Think Of Daisy Kelliher?

Former Below Deck Chief Stewardess Kate Chastain shared her thoughts on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2. Like everyone else, she’s been catching up with this season. She likened the love triangles to “square dancing” because they’re so dizzying and confusing. Kate also made it clear that she has an interesting Chief Engineer Colin Macrae.

Now, she’s sharing her thoughts on the new Chief Stewardess. There were previous chief stews like Francesca Rubi of Below Deck and Christine “Bugsy” Drake on Below Deck Mediterranean. In Season 1 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Jenna MacGillivray got a lot of backlash for her work ethic and relationship with Chef Adam Glick.

Kate Chastain shares her thoughts on Daisy Kelliher

Kate Chastain has not shared praise for many of the chief stews in the Below Deck franchise. She’s also in an ongoing feud with former Below Deck Med star Hannah Ferrier. Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 star Daisy Kelliher is the first one to receive high praise from Kate. A fan shared a comment that Kate made about the newbie.

“She’s one of the best chief stews I’ve seen on the series and I really respect everything about the way that she’s doing it,” Kate told Us Weekly. “She’s funny, she’s great at her job. I’m really impressed with her.”

Fans agree with Kate. Most of them love Daisy’s work ethic and approach to the interior team. She’s also the first chief stew to get along with both of her stews, which is rare for most. However, some viewers think Daisy is too tough on her crew, especially when it comes to the exterior team. On the midseason trailer, she griped that her crew members think she’s the “b***h” of the yacht.

Obviously, Daisy was tired of being painted as one. On the show, she’s also at odds with First Officer Gary King. There are also times when Daisy quarrels with Chef Natasha de Bourg. Kate has dealt with her share of drama on Below Deck, but she never backs down.

Daisy is very similar in style to Kate

Daisy shares Kate’s views when it comes to crew members sleeping in guest cabins. Francesca was so upset when two crew members slept in the master suite, she wanted one of them to be fired on the spot. Kate admitted on Twitter that she’s slept in guest cabins oftentimes in her career. Daisy didn’t seem too bothered when the crew members sleep in the guest cabin in between charters.
