Captain Sandy explains how she\u2019s changed since Below Deck debut BravoSome Below Deck fans criticized Captain Sandy Yawn during Season 10 for the firings she made in the absence of Captain Lee. Taking the wheel of a multi-million dollar superyacht is a tough job, and with that comes big decisions. So, what\u2019s changed since she debuted on Bravo TV? Since joining Bravo\u2019s hit TV show, Captain Sandy has become a household name in a way that not many superyacht captains would have imagined possible before Below Deck\u2019s emergence. As an experienced navigator, she has shared some of her worst stories on the job, such as a fire on board and being chased by pirates on the ocean. During an interview with Forbes, she was asked about the changes she has experienced since making her debut in Below Deck Mediterranean and becoming a brand. Captain Sandy explains what changed since Below Deck fame \u201cHonestly, it never entered my mind [brand]. When I got on the show, I realized that who I connect myself with \u2013 and I learned this when I got sober \u2013 really speaks volumes about who I am and how I walk through life. \u201cI am very discerning about who I connect with because it has to really resonate with me, and it has to be authentic\u2026 If somebody hands me a product and says, \u2018hey, I\u2019ll pay you this much if you say you love the product,\u2019 \u2013 I\u2019m not going to do that. I\u2019m going to try the product and see if I really like it, and then yes\u2026 I turn down a lot of stuff.\u201d Watch the full interview below from Forbes, with this segment starting at 14:40. \u201cLooking at the brand, I see myself as a business person that wants to do something with a purpose\u2026 then make money,\u201d she added. \u201cI am a yacht captain. I create dreams, and I get paid. It\u2019s a big responsibility. Being on a TV show, now I\u2019m creating something\u2026 but then there\u2019s another layer where millions of people are watching so I\u2019m a role model now. Let\u2019s be good, Sandy, I think to myself.\u201d In addition to that, Sandy noted that she has tried to stop swearing on-screen and composing herself in stressful moments in a way that perhaps she would not use to, mindful of the audience. Giving a note to viewers about when she is really angry on-screen, she hinted: \u201cWhen I start saying the F-word, that\u2019s when I\u2019m really mad.\u201d For more Below Deck news, guides, and updates \u2013 check out our page here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
