How much does the crew on Below Deck make?

According to Dexerto, the second and third stewardesses on the yacht make up to $5,000 per month, which is what the new stews Cat Baugh, Xandi Oliver, and Barbie Pascual are suspected of earning. The Chief Stew, like Fraser Olender, makes a little more, from $5500 to $6000.

The chef onboard is the second-most responsible person after the captain, as he is directly responsible for the food of the guests. In Below Deck season 11, Chef Anthony Iracane is a one-man army, managing four meals a day single-handedly. Dexterto states he is suspected of earning between $7000 and $10,000 a month, depending on his expertise and experience.

The crew members keep the tips they collect from their charters on Below Deck

According to Dexerto, the captain can make up to $100,000 more on top of their salary, with tips, if they choose to keep their yachts open for charters for a year.

According to the reports at Sportskeeda, the crew members can receive tips up to $15,000 per person for six weeks of work, which they get to keep. Apart from the tips, the crew members also get a small amount for their role on television, which keeps them motivated to be more enthusiastic on the camera.

Captain Lee Rosbach from the previous seasons of the show confirmed to Dexerto that the total collected tip was declared at the end of the trip, and the crew members would split it equally.
