Season 2 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht features almost an entirely new cast. The only person fans will recognize is Captain Glenn Shephard, the leader fo the Parsifal III yacht who also captained the ship in Season 1. But with so many new crew members comes the potential for a ton of new drama.

Already, the Bravo website is teasing that the chief stew will butt heads with the chef, complicated romances will emerge, and tensions will be high due to pandemic protocols that required the crew to stay on board at all times. Captain Glenn is usually able to stay pretty cool in tough situations, he has his limits. If his staff isn't living up to his expectations, things could get rough. But as the captain teased to E! News, he tried his best to let the cast relax while also pushing them to stay on task. "Working on a yacht in a busy charter season is a bit of a pressure cooker," he said. "So, when there are not guests around, I will let them blow off a little steam — but I want to keep my eye on it, so it doesn't get out of hand." Of course, the trailer hints that things did exactly that.

Before all the drama unfolds, get to know the yacht's new cast.

The Season 2 chef is Natasha De Bourg, who was trained in Europe and worked as an executive chef in France at L'Ardoise prior to diving into the yachting world. She's been working as a yacht chef for three years now. And when she's not cooking, she's making all her Instagram followers jealous with her glamorous travel photos.

Her Instagram shows that she's almost always on a boat, including during the 2018 St. Barths Bucket Regatta race.

This First Mate has 12 years of experience in yachting, but he's not all business and no play. His Bravo bio says he's "never the type to leave a party first" and a flirtationship on the show could quickly lead to drama for him and the rest of the crew.

Third Stew Alli is from Australia and previously had experience working as a divemaster. She has a secondary Instagram for her diving, including some pretty amazing up-close photos of sharks. Now she's stepping into interior yacht work, so it'll be interesting to see how the change of pace goes for her.

The other deckhand is Jean-Luc, the youngest member of the crew. Before he joined the sailing world, he played college football for the Charlotte 49ers in North Carolina. But he's spent a lot of his life around water and on boats, fishing with his dad, so he's not starting in the sailing world with no sea knowledge at all.

Get to know the whole crew when Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 premieres on March 1.
