Below Deck Sailing Yacht: What We Know About Charter Guest Jess
Fans of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 2 love the drama that the show's charter guests bring, and we're here to share information about one of those guests, Jess Cimato. From unpredictable weather to arguments between guests to boat crashes, the last few episodes have been nothing less than chaotic and drama-filled. The group of women who have been sailing around Croatia in the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth episodes of the season is rumored to be the most challenging bunch the crew has dealt with. The guests spent their time on the yacht drinking, making ridiculous requests, and tearing each other down, with most of the drama being stirred up by Bianca Natalia.
After accusing the rest of the women on the charter of gossiping about her, bullying her, and being jealous of her beauty, co-primary charter guest Jess stepped in and voiced her thoughts about Bianca's claims, with the support of the other women. This led to an intense argument that had the crew running to eavesdrop. It wasn't the first hostile encounter between the two women. Earlier on in the trip, Bianca sported a Trump bikini and made a politically charged statement that upset the other women and fans. Jess once again voiced her concerns, making sure that it was clear that she didn't want to get into anything political.
The 35-year-old New Jersey native also wasn't afraid to speak her mind with the season 2 cast. She called out first mate Gary King and chief engineer Colin MacRae after she spotted them gossiping about the group of women being a handful. Jess definitely knows how to hold her own on camera, most likely due to her time on the first season of VH1's competition show You're Cut Off back in 2010. Her mom signed her up for the show after Jess completed an internship in the summer of 2009. Her mother did so because she wanted her daughter to be more independent. She was one of nine pampered contestants from around the USA who competed in challenges (and worked with a life coach) to become responsible and independent adults. Since competing on the show, Jess made a number of TV appearances. She was on an episode of Dr. Phil.
The reality show You're Cut Off is where she met co-primary charter guest Erica Rose, who has spent her fair share of time on reality tv shows. It's unclear how Jess knows the other women on the charter, but it is crystal clear that she and Bianca don't have much of a friendship. Jess and Erica now host the "Cutting Loose" podcast together, where they talk about anything and everything, including marriage, work, and parenting. The podcast can be found on Spotify, iHeartRadio, and iTunes, and new episodes are released weekly. See Jess below:
Along with her time on reality TV, Jess is also an avid traveler. Aside from the trip to Croatia to film the show, the surgeon's assistant has traveled to a number of European countries, including England, France, Italy, and Spain, alongside her husband. She has also taken multiple trips to the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic and has explored parts of Mexico, plus a number of islands in the Caribbean. Jess's bold ways are making waves on the show.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs on Monday nights at 9 pm on Bravo.
