‘Below Deck’ Hannah Ferrier Says Captain Sandy Chased Her, Hated Her

Below Deck Mediterranean alum Hannah Ferrier is opening up about her feud with Captain Sandy Yawn once again. The two had a war of words through the media. It’s a case of she said, she said. Hannah recently shared some of the most intense moments between them.

It got to a point where production had to step in. Every season with Sandy got progressively worse. As fans already know, Hannah suffered from anxiety. In Season 3 of Below Deck Med, Hannah suffered panic attacks. She ended up on a prescription for Valium, which helped her tackle her anxiety.

Thankfully, Hannah is stress-free these days. She’s living in Australia with her fiance, Josh, and their baby girl, Ava Grace. Hannah doesn’t deal with as much anxiety since she’s no longer working with Captain Sandy. She recently opened up about her tense moments with the Below Deck star.

Hannah Ferrier claims Captain Sandy chase her around

The Aussie recently made an appearance on the Kyle and Jackie O Show. On the Tuesday, January 18, episode, the Below Deck Med alum recalled her “drama” with Captain Sandy. This comes after she shared that the often positive leader would chase her around the yacht. This should come as no surprise to Below Deck fans, who labeled Sandy a “micromanager.”

Hannah talked about the start of her work relationship with Sandy. One day she shared “one Coke” with the charter guests. Sandy allowed the chief stew to leave the boat to be with the guests for the amount of time it took to drink one soda. Yet, the guests wanted to stay out longer to watch the sunset. Sandy was upset with Hannah and went as far as to “chase” her around the boat.

“I think, with Sandy, one night where she was literally chasing me around the boat,” Hannah said. “I think it was basically a scenario where I had been off the boat with the guests. And she got really mad at me. Because in yachting if you have the guests off the boat, that’s the best thing you can do for the crew. So I couldn’t quite understand it because I was like, ‘the guests wanted to be off to watch the sunset.’ I was on the boat with them, making cocktails, making sure they were OK.”

According to Hannah, the Below Deck star cussed her out. It got so intense that the producers had to mediate the situation. Hannah refused to apologize to Sandy. But, they had to reach an agreement so they could resume filming.

Below Deck Med star never liked Hannah

During her interview on the Kyle and Jackie O Show, Hannah claimed that Sandy never liked her. She knew that Sandy watched her on Season 1, which featured the late Captain Mark. Hannah shared some insider secrets. For example, producers told Sandy that she couldn’t say mean things about Hannah.

The new mom also said their relationship was worse off-camera. Even though the show was heavily edited at times, their feud wasn’t. Hannah said that things were “edited” in a way to make Sandy look good. It also made it seem that their work relationship wasn’t so bad when that wasn’t the case.

“Things can be edited,” the former Below Deck crew member explained. “It was probably edited in a way where it looks like we were better than we were for the years before that we filmed together. No, we weren’t friendly at all.”

Even production tried to find ways to make Sandy and Hannah get along with one another. Things took a turn when Sandy fired Hannah for having unregistered Valium with a CBD pen. Bosun Malia White texted Sandy the photos of her medication. Hannah still feels that Sandy used this opportunity to get rid of her.

Hannah has no interest in working with Sandy again. Unsurprisingly, the two aren’t on speaking terms. However, she would consider working on the other shows on the Below Deck franchise. She’s been rumored to appear on the Australian spinoff series.
