Viewers have tuned in to Bravo for eight years to witness the hijinks of the crew and visitors aboard a superyacht in the hit reality series "Below Deck," and many fans are excited to see what season 9 has in store.

Below Deck is a reality program that follows a group of young people who work aboard yachts well over 100 feet long. The yachties, or crew members, reside on board the luxury, privately owned yachts while ensuring that their demanding clientele' ever-changing requirements are satisfied. In addition, the yachties share a love for a career that allows them to travel to some of the most beautiful spots on the planet.

Each episode follows a new group of travelers on their way to a maritime adventure, ranging from millionaires to hard-partying buddies. The group follows the slogan "work hard, play harder," which grants them access to unique benefits that few others enjoy.

Following the new teaser for Below Deck season 9, fans have been talking over new Chief Chef Heather Chase, who has a link to a few of Below Deck Mediterranean alums.
