Below Deck star Eddie Lucas shared the best and worst crew members he ever worked with. This may come as a shock to fans. As viewers already know, Eddie has a difficult work relationship with Chef Rachel Hargrove. The two do not get along, especially after what he said behind her back during Season 8.
Rachel gave Eddie the cold shoulder in the Season 9 premiere. During her interview, she revealed that she’s still upset with the first officer for what he said behind her back. During Season 3, he also had a complicated relationship with Raquelle “Rocky” Dakota, who he infamously hooked up with in the laundry room.
Who does he like to work with?
The Below Deck Season 9 star made an appearance on the Side Piece with Melissa Pfeister podcast. Eddie Lucas mentioned his favorite crew members that he enjoyed working with. While C.J. LeBeau was good at what he did, he needed to learn how to respect authority. Eddie also enjoyed working with David Bradberry.
In fact, the two are still good friends to this day. But who would Eddie want to end up on a deserted island with? He came up with an interesting option.
“I’d like to say Dave,” Eddie Lucas said. “Because he’s my brother from another mother. But Connie [Arias] was also amazing. She was so great to work with, such a hard worker. She’s a really great fisher so she could catch fish also. I think I’d go with Connie. I would like to work with Connie again.”
Connie was a fan favorite during Season 3. She was on the same episode as Rocky. Fans assumed that she would get along with the former stew since the two were a little quirky and wild. However, Connie couldn’t stand Rocky by the end of the charter season. Most of the yacht grew tired of her.
Returning Below Deck star names his least-favorite crew members
Eddie Lucas named former deckhand Dane Jackson from Season 3 as the worst crew member. He was asked whether he would throw Dane or Below Deck Season 8 alum Shane Coopersmith overboard.
“Dane!” Eddie Lucas resoundingly said. “I’ll throw him overboard any day of the week. Dane is probably one of the worst I’ve ever worked with.”
Dane arrived on the yacht as a replacement during Season 3. He became belligerent, especially when he drank a lot. As Below Deck fans know, belligerent drunks get on his nerves. Eddie had to send Dane back to the yacht. Captain Lee Rosbach fired him the very next day.

He also did not enjoy working with former chief stew Adrienne Gang. She appeared on Season 1 of the show, which was her idea. Eddie said she came off as “intimidating” and “like kind of a big deal.” In fact, he was “scared” of her.
Who are your favorite and least favorite crew members? Do you agree with Eddie? Sound off below in the comments.

CJ crewed upon a private yacht after this filming w my friends and myself. He was NOT to be trusted and thought his position as engineer was fitting…it was not! CJ turned the fuel spigot the wrong way and dumped diesel fuel under my bunk. Not once but twice….he was eventually fired as he brought drugs onboard in foreign ports…he had no boundaries and no respect for rules and regulations.
Captain Sandy Yawn and the girl whose last name is White. What they did to Hannah was the height of utter unprofessionalism., and worse.
Followed by Rhylee, Rocky, Bobby, and the foul mouthed guy who got drunk and attacked Kate.
I ! worked in the industry for 20 years. In my opinion, Captain Lee sucks! He seems to sit on his ass a lot and he’s not very involved with what is going on.. He also does a bad job of hiring, most crew agencies would not send out such a group drunken tattooed prima Donna’s!
Rocky and Shane were my least favorite. There have been some terrible “chefs”.
You try that life..you would be too!!
I recently became a fan of this show and am working my way through it. I got through 4 seasons of the original and will eventually go back to it but decided to check one of the other seasons out so I started watching Below Deck Mediteranean. I am almost to the end of season 1. As I look at all these worst crew member lists, for the life of me, I cannot figure out why Danny from season 1 of Med is not on every one of these lists. Unless he majorly redeems himself and I just havent seen it yet.
