Below Deck Down Under Season 4 may just be the spiciest the show has ever seen, with a boatmance between veterans Daisy Kelliher and Joao Franco teased in the new trailer.
Both Daisy and Joao make the crossover to Captain Jason Chambers’ team for Season 4 of Down Under. Daisy has appeared on four seasons of Below Deck Sailing Yacht as Chief Stew, while Joao previously served as a deckhand on Below Deck Mediterranean.
And in an epic Below Deck crossover, it appears the two all-stars get together romantically in the upcoming season.
In the trailer, Daisy tells Joao that he is the “kind of person” she’s attracted to, before a montage of clips of them kissing plays out.
One of the cast members can be heard asking if they are “in love”, to which Daisy responds, “she doesn’t know”.
Watch Daisy and Joao’s romantic connection in the teaser trailer below.
What is Captain Jason’s policy on Below Deck romances?
The Below Deck franchise is no stranger to onboard romances — with almost every season flaunting a boatmance. Daisy’s previously been involved with her crewmates, Gary King and Colin Macrae, and Joao had a fling with Tzarina Mace-Ralph and dated Brooke Laughton.
However, now that the two Below Deck all-stars are on Captain Jason’s boat, will he allow a romance that may distract them from their jobs? He told Chattr that in his experience as a captain, it’s impossible to stop crew members from hooking up.
“Let’s just take a normal boat over a period of a year and a half. There’s going to be boatmances,” he said.

“[With Below Deck] we’re putting, you know, probably about eight months of work into six weeks. So if it happens, it happens. And you know, these guys are adults, they got to learn to actually have relationships, you know, but also understand the boundaries of it.”
Captain Jason said that he believes there’s certain etiquette his employees should adopt if they’re going to start a relationship on board.
“Keep it to yourself, don’t flaunt in front of the crew. Always do your work. Be on time. Don’t get caught standing around chatting; save it for your off time. Still treat each other as a crew member, but you can have a boatmance outside of that,” he explained.
Below Deck Down Under Season 4 airs on February 2 on Hayu and Binge.
