Captain Sandy Yawn Takes a Stand: Defiant Below Deck Med Charter Guests Get a Lesson in Respect!

Below Deck Med’s Captain Sandy Yawn has fans rallying around her after she stood up for her crew members against some rude charter guests.

Captain Sandy hasn’t had the easiest journey during her now eight seasons on the Below Deck spin-off.

After she fired Hannah Ferrier during Season 5, Below Deck Med fans were outraged and came for her.

The captain spent the past few seasons getting dragged, with critics accusing her of letting the show become toxic.

However, that has all changed thanks to Below Deck Med Season 9 and fans seeing a different side of Captain Sandy.

That was proven more than ever when Captain Sandy, not so subtly, had a message for the obnoxious charter guests about how to treat her crew.

After learning from Aesha Scott the respect, her crew was given by the guests, Captain Sandy shared a story with a message.

Instead of lecturing the group about the captain she revealed that she once almost dumped a group of charter guests for being disrespectful to her team. Captain Sandy made it clear that respect and kindness are a must on her yacht.

The story got the attention of some of the charter guests, not all of them, because the vibe completely changed. Gone were most of the attitudes or entitlement, and in its place were kindness and gratitude for the Mustique crew members.

Not only did Captain Sandy have her crew’s back, but she did it while mourning the loss of her dog. Those two moments have shined a new light on the captain, and Below Deck Med fans want her to know it.

X (formerly Twitter) was filled with comments giving Captain Sandy props for how she handled those guests.

“Captain Sandy standing up for her crew and giving a subtle threat that she’ll kick them off the boat if bad behavior continues is great boss behavior #BelowDeckMed #BelowDeck,” read an X.

One X user called what Captain Sandy did a baller move.

Another shared the clip of the captain telling the show, expressing love for her and dislike for the group of charter guests.

“The guests choking on shame while Capt. Sandy is giving them a pep talk about how to speak to her crew with respect and decency,” said an X user.

There was no shortage of appreciation for Captain Sandy for standing up for her team.
