‘Below Deck: Mediterranean’ Season 11 Episode 17 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
The next installment of ‘Below Deck Mediterranean’ is scheduled for Monday, September 28, under the title ‘Money Can Buy Me Love.’ It follows ‘The Babysitter’s Club,’ which is listed for September 21. Together, the two episodes carry the Bravo reality series deeper into its current run.
‘Below Deck Mediterranean’ premiered on Bravo in May 2016 as the first spin-off of ‘Below Deck.’ This year’s charter season unfolds aboard the yacht Akira One in Croatia, with Captain Sandy Yawn returning alongside familiar crew members and new additions. Here is a closer look at the release date, air time, streaming options and what the billionaire charter has in store.
Release Date for the Next ‘Below Deck: Mediterranean’ Episode
The upcoming chapter is dated for Monday, September 28. The season itself opened on Monday, June 8, and weekly episodes have followed on Mondays since. That steady cadence gives viewers a predictable appointment each week.
Moviefone’s episode guide lists the installment as ‘Money Can Buy Me Love,’ and the Rotten Tomatoes season page carries the same episode description. Two separate databases lining up on the title and story outline gives the listing added weight.
The episode before it, ‘The Babysitter’s Club,’ arrives on September 21. Its synopsis points to a medical emergency for the crew, consequences for Gen, a new strategy from Cooper with Kat, and Aesha looking after Kayden. Viewers catching up before the next installment will want to start there.
Bravo’s first look at the season described Captain Sandy inviting Nathan Gallagher, Aesha Scott and Joe Bradley to act as leaders on the boat, while noting that drama is never far away. That leadership trio is the same group now caught up in the friction between Nathan and Joe.
Air Time and Weekly Schedule
‘Below Deck Mediterranean’ airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. The season premiere was listed for 8 p.m. PT/ET as well, and weekly episodes follow the same Monday evening slot. Viewers on the West Coast therefore see the same 8 p.m. start as those in the East.
That means the coming installment should reach live viewers on the evening of September 28 at the same hour as previous weeks. Anyone planning a weekly routine around the show can keep the slot in the calendar. The Monday placement has held steady since the June premiere.
The series overall is listed with a running time between 43 and 68 minutes, so individual episodes can differ in length. Fans setting a recording should allow a little extra time on either side of the hour.
Where to Watch ‘Below Deck: Mediterranean’ Online
Because the series is broadcast on Bravo, weekly episodes can be livestreamed on services that carry the network, including DirecTV, Sling and Hulu + Live TV. Moviefone’s availability list also shows YouTube TV with the stream included. Those options suit viewers who want to watch as the episode airs.
New episodes also become available on Peacock the following day, which falls on Tuesdays after the Monday broadcast. Moviefone lists both Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus as options with the stream included. Applying that schedule to the coming installment would put its Peacock debut on Tuesday, September 29.
Earlier seasons of the series are available on Peacock as well, which gives newcomers a way to catch up on the crew’s history. Rotten Tomatoes adds that the current season can be watched with a Peacock subscription or purchased through Fandango. Viewers who skip the live broadcast therefore have two routes, Bravo on Monday evening or Peacock on Tuesday.
Episode Preview and What to Expect from the Billionaire Charter
The synopsis says a new charter begins as the crew welcomes a billionaire, his fiancée and his five other boyfriends. Chief stew Aesha Scott teases the arrangement in the midseason trailer by saying that after ten years in yachting she has never seen anything like it. That guest list will test how the interior and deck teams handle an entourage.
Massi finds interest in Joy during the episode. Massi Scarcia joined the deck crew after Max Salvador’s dramatic exit. Joy has also been the focus of a romantic storyline with former deckhand Luke Brumer, who left the boat yet appeared in the midseason trailer as a persistent admirer.
Gen tries to enact a new agenda, while Nathan and Joe’s relationship begins to reach a point of no return. The midseason trailer showed Joe named acting bosun during Nathan’s temporary leave, a change that led to heated confrontations and forced Captain Sandy to step in. Both storylines are still moving as the new charter begins.
The same trailer also teased storms, guest emergencies and police involvement in the remaining episodes, so the billionaire charter is one of several pressure points for the crew. Earlier this season, Hannah Ferrier also returned for Aesha’s bachelorette party. Whether Nathan and Joe can salvage their friendship once the billionaire’s charter ends, and whether Massi’s interest complicates Joy’s already crowded love life, are questions worth debating in the comments.
