Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Episode 15 Recap: Capt. Glenn takes charge as the crew violates the rules

On January 20, 2025, Bravo aired a new episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5, titled 'Past the Boiling Point,' which included a combination of high-stakes drama and tension aboard the Parsifal III. Captain Glenn Shephard, known for his laid-back and approachable demeanor, is frequently portrayed as a steady hand guiding the crew through tumultuous waters—both physically and metaphorically.

However, this week's episode showed a different side of the Captain, as he was pushed to his limits after the crew violated the restrictions he had established while hosting charter guests. From late-night pranks to inappropriate behavior, the crew's actions compromised not only the team's professionalism but also the yacht's reputation.

This episode underlined the problems of running a tight ship while dealing with personal dynamics and professional duties, leaving fans eager to see how the crew recovers from the impact in future episodes.

What happened on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Episode 15

In episode 15 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Caption Glenn got upset with the crew for violating drinking rules while serving charter guests. Along with that, the feud between Chase and Gary also took a new turn. Let's take a quick recap of the entire episode.

Captain Glenn enforces fine on the crew

After the crew took care of their guests in the previous episode, they ended up having more than the two drinks, that the crew is allowed to have while serving clients. To ensure professionalism and discipline on the vessel, the Captain decides to confront them and remind them of the rules again. Not only did he express his disappointment, but he also imposed a fine of 500 euros on each of the 3 Below Deck Sailing Yacht crew members for violating the rules. He believes a monetary loss would make them remember the incident and will also keep the rest of the crew in check.

He decides to deduct Daisy, Keith, and Gary's share of the fine from their share of the tip for violating the rule.

Gary and Chase's feud takes a new turn

Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Gary and Chase haven't been in each other's good books for quite some time now and their disagreement escalates when Gary tries to help Chase in one of the tasks, while the latter believes he would be able to get things done faster without his interference.

While fixing the yacht's name, Gary suggested that Chase should use halyards and a bosun's chair. However, Chase argues that his intervention is unnecessary. As things start heating up, Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Capt. Glenn steps in and, eventually, sides with Gary on the matter. He reminds Chase of the importance of safety and following proper procedures.

The argument between the two further escalates when Chase gets upset with Gary for involving Glenn in the matter. He also adds how he should come to him first than going to Glenn and complaining about such things.
