Daisy Kelliher of the Below Deck franchise is setting sail for an exciting new move in her career.
The longtime chief stew of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, now moving to Below Deck Down Under for Season 4, is joining Season 5 charter guest Marc MacNamara to unpack “waves of drama” for their upcoming podcast, Yacht Mess, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Launching Tuesday, Oct. 28, the pop-culture-themed show is something the friendly duo has been “working on for months,” Daisy revealed in her Instagram Stories.
In a statement published by THR, the Dubliner said the seafaring two were “excited” by the new endeavor. “I can’t wait for fans to connect with me in a new way and experience an even more unfiltered version of myself,” Daisy continued. “Together, we’re excited to navigate the stormy seas of work, dating, pop culture, and more — on our way to calmer waters.”
Details on Daisy Kelliher’s new podcast
Daisy and Marc offer a comedic and “unapologetically messy” take on the yachting life and the unbelievable stories behind their experiences with guests.
Per their statement, “Marc and Daisy unpack the wildest, most cringeworthy, yet somehow fascinating people and events that make you shake your head and say, ‘Did that really just happen?’ They’ll navigate the waves of drama, from celebrity meltdowns to hilarious mishaps in pop culture and the high and low tides of luxury getaways — and sometimes the outrageous behavior that makes yachting and travel so irresistible.”
The show will be produced and distributed by Studio71.

Why Daisy Kellifer joined the Below Deck Down Under crew for Season 4
Daisy will be working under Captain Jason Chambers for Season 4 of Below Deck Down Under, trading in sails for motors.
In a Sept. 24 interview with Us Weekly, Daisy admitted the transition from Below Deck Sailing Yacht to Below Deck Down Under was “nerve-wracking.” As she put it, “I got very familiar with Parsifal and Captain Glenn Shephard and to what sailing was all about.” But as for joining BDDU, she wondered, “‘Oh, can I do this? What’s it going to be like? Am I going to clash with the captain? Can I do a motorboat?’ I think it was good for me to change and be given a new challenge, but I was certainly very, very nervous.”
For what it’s worth, Captain Jason said he’d be “happy” to have Daisy back.

“She works well, she works hard,” he said. “She’s authentic, and she really cares about the job. Daisy brought her A-game, and she didn’t hold anything back. When she wants something, she gets it.”
Daisy will be in the upcoming crossover between BDDU and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. In the Oct. 21 preview of the highly anticipated event airing next week on RHOSLC, a stunned Daisy remarked of the ’Wives, “They’re literally killing each other.”
What else is new in Daisy Kelliher’s career?
Aside from Yacht Mess, Daisy announced in March a shift into travel planning, inspired after inviting her followers via an Instagram Story to share whether they’d like to accompany her for a hosted trip.
The response was so overwhelming, she said, that she started booking getaways for the upcoming year. Said Daisy, “I’m so passionate about traveling and can’t wait to explore new places and make new friends and memories!”
