Fiery former deckhand, Rhylee Gerber, will set sail again with the Below Deck yachties.
Rhylee began working on the mega yacht, M/Y Seanna, on season 6 of the Bravo reality series, which was shot in Tahiti.
She rode waves of high drama often clashing with multiple crew members on and off charter.
But at least chief steward, Kate Chastain, seems happy to have her back this time in Thailand.
She told Decider: “I think that this is the perfect time and the perfect person to come in because I think that the boys onboard are becoming a little too much of a fraternity.”
Kate, 36, added Rhylee’s return could mean the yachties preparing for choppy waters ahead.
“Rhylee shakes things up wherever she goes. Animals fear her, deckhands fear her, men fear her: as they should.”
JUMPING SHIP
She did not return for the start of season 7 of Below Deck.
Fellow redhead Abbi Murphy was initially in the role.
But she decided to jump ship, after feeling she wasn’t a good fit for the yachting life.
Abbi also left the charter season after becoming engaged to her beau, Patrick, via a text message proposal.
The two met sailing in Greece and actually recently got married in her hometown of Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Let’s play it her way, give her what she wants, and let’s see what we’ll get out of Rhylee then.
Ashton Pienaar
Deckhand turned bosun, Ashton Pienaar, has a new outlook for working with his former combative crewmate.
Ashton, 30, told Decider: “My biggest thing was just not to bring baggage from last season and give her the opportunities that she didn’t have last season.
“Let’s play it her way, give her what she wants, and let’s see what we’ll get out of Rhylee then.”
And when the 35-year-old isn’t fighting with her crewmates, she’s often flirting with them.
Last season, she had a boat-mance with deckhand Tyler Rowland.
This time she’s after deckhand Brian de Saint Pern, who’s had his eye on stewardess, Courtney Skippon.

In a preview she said: “I’d f**k the s**t out of Brian to where he doesn’t remember who Courtney is.”
Meanwhile, Rhylee’s not the only familiar face back on Below Deck.
Former Real Housewives of Orange County star Alexis Bellino and her new boyfriend, Andy Bohn, have chartered the Valor yacht for an upcoming episode.
