‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht:’ Creepy Charter Guest Harasses Gabriela

The premiere of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3 was off to a strong start. There’s already a love triangle among the crew members. They went all out for their first crew night out. Also, the first charter guests arrived and it’s taking a turn for the worse. Chief stew Daisy Kelliher asked stewardess Gabriela Barragan if she’ll be fine with the night shift.

She’s probably regretting saying “yes.” Charter guest McCordia Young arrived on the sailing yacht with his fellow female guests. The primary charter guest had too much to drink and asks Gabriela personal questions about her love life. Things quickly take a creepy turn when he hits on her.

Gabriela deals with unwanted attention

On the Monday, February 21, episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Gabriela is left alone with the charter guest. The job of the stewardesses is to make sure the guests are taken care of during their time on the yacht. New stewardess Gabriela learned the ropes of the job and how to handle creepy charter guests. The first charter didn’t go without its share of drama with the charter guests.

Real estate investor McCordia Young was the first charter guest on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. He booked a trip with his friends to celebrate Black excellence. They wanted to show Black people in a positive light, especially those with money. However, things turned when McCordia had too much to drink. Towards the end of the night, McCordia kept approaching Gabriela, who kept him company.

She was the only one working late at night while her fellow stewardesses went to bed. He complimented her on her septum ring and natural beuaty. Then, he asked many personal questions about her love life. McCordia said he “doesn’t like girls,” but still found Gabriela attracted. He asked her what she was into.

Gabriela handled the situation gracefully by saying she’s interested in men and women of all sizes and shapes. In her confessional, the Below Deck Sailing Yacht newbies admitted that she doesn’t have a preference. McCordia made it a point that he found her attractive. Gabriela laughed it off, but he insisted he wasn’t joking. The situation quickly got uncomfortable when he asked her who she was sleeping with and who she was interested in on the yacht.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans call out creepy charter guest

Gabriela explained in her confessional how she shuts down creeps. She made it clear that he was being inappropriate with her and said it was time for him to go to bed. Understandably, Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans were concerned about Gabriela’s well-being. Most of them took to Twitter to call out the creepy charter guest.

• “This charter guest is gross… #BelowDeckSailingYacht if he doesn’t like women why are you sexually harassing a woman……”
• “So this man who likes men is hitting on this woman? And being completely inappropriate? Hell nah!!!”
• “The guest is so out of line. He’s taken advantage of being a paying guest and being purposely sexually inappropriate.”
• “Ugh. The primary guest is a disgusting pig.”
• “I don’t care how much money you are spending, no staff member deserves to be sexually harassed.”
