Below Deck Down Under fans are curious to know if Ben “Benny” Crawler really likes yachting. The deckhand has a tough time finding his footing on the Peacock original series. Some viewers have a feeling he’s not taking his job seriously enough. Benny says in his confessional that he doesn’t respect authority.

He’s not the type to listen to his boss. It makes sense since Benny comes from an entrepreneurial background. He never had to answer for anyone else until he got into yachting. He often butts heads with both Captain Jason Chambers and bosun Jamie Sayed.

Benny is off to a rough start on the Below Deck spinoff

He expressed a disinterest in working for both men on Below Deck Down Under. Benny didn’t enjoy getting so many orders thrown at him. At first, it seemed like Benny would be the most divisive cast member. However, that honor may go to Chef Ryan McKeown for his difficult attitude.

Benny’s attitude changed after an embarrassing incident in a previous episode of Below Deck Down Under. He blocked the toilet in his cabin, which caused flooding on the lower deck. Captain Jason woke up from his sleep to help Benny out. He got his fans dirty and even cleaned up the area.

Benny said he finally feels like he’s part of the family. He also has a playful vibe with the rest of the cast members. Jason won’t let Benny off the hook easily though. He had him wear the disco ball helmet for acting up.

The disco ball helmet goes to the crew member who makes the most mistakes during a single charter. Benny didn’t appreciate wearing the helmet. He tried to remove it during the crew dinner.

Regardless, he claims to love working as a deckhand. Benny wants to prove himself to Captain Jason. He’s trying to take his job seriously even if he faces setbacks. Does this mean he’s still working in the yachting industry today?

Does the Below Deck Down Under star still work in yachting?

The Below Deck Down Under star currently lives in Tulum, Mexico. He does spend the majority of his time by the water. Benny shares most of his travels on Instagram. He is environmentally conscious and takes part in bleach cleanups to preserve the beach areas and environment.

During his time in Mexico, Benny has taken up surfing. When he’s not working by the water, he currently works as a DJ during his off months. Benny’s stage name is DJ Lazy Susan and he spins across Mexico. He also enjoys traveling, both on land and sea.

Benny also runs his own business where he works as a cryptocurrency day trader. He also founded his own coaching business called Mindful Trading, which helps students become crypto day traders.

Benny already has a full plate even if he’s not working on yachting. Yet, some fans are hoping to see him again on Below Deck Down Under. Do you think Benny will have an easy time this season? Sound off below in the comment section.
