- BY CAROLINE COLLACUTT

Season 11 of “Below Deck” is set to take off with a supersized, 75-minute premiere, airing Monday, Feb. 5, on Bravo.

Originally sailing in Season 10, the 60-meter-long Benetti superyacht, St. David, returns, with her next voyage planned for Grenada, Spain. This trip will be captained by “Below Deck Adventure’s” Kerry Titheradge, who takes over for Capt. Lee following his Season 10 departure.

“Capt. Kerry trades the Nordic Sea for crystal blue waters and stunning waterfalls as he leads his crew in the rich, historical island of Grenada,” Bravo said in a recent news release. “A discipline­d and fair leader, Capt. Kerry has 30 years of experience working on boats and has spent almost two decades in yachting.”

During his expedition, Capt. Kerry will be at the helm of the gorgeous St. David, a vessel that offers its guests three decks, including a sprawling sun deck with sun loungers and sun pads, spa pools, an “al fresco” movie theater and more. There is even an outdoor dining option that offers guests nonstop picturesqu­e views.

Behind this season’s menu stands “Below Deck” newcomer, chef Anthony Iracane. Hailing from Miami, Iracane is a master of French cuisine, a restaurate­ur and the founder of Snackybae, a French-themed street food chain that has taken Florida by storm. Despite this being his reality TV debut, Iracane has many years of experience working as a private chef aboard luxury yachts, specializi­ng in private parties and gourmet food tasting.

Meanwhile, fans of the series can look forward to the return of a few familiar faces working aboard the ship, such as Chief Stew Fraser Olender, entering his second yachting season in the position, and his third season on “Below Deck.” Olender’s team includes the returning deckhands Ben Willoughby, Marie “Sunny” Marquis and Kyle Stillie, while Jared Woodin takes on the role of bosun, and the group welcomes new stews Cat Bough, Xandi Olivier and Barbie Pascual.

With popular spinoffs, including “Below Deck Mediterran­ean,” “Below Deck Sailing Yacht, “Below Deck Down Under” and “Below Deck Adventure,” and thousands upon thousands of nautical miles to sail, “Below Deck” returns with its Season 11 premiere, airing Monday, Feb. 5, on Bravo.
