· Julia d'Albert Pusey (Second Stew, "Below Deck Mediterranean" Season One) & Josiah Carter (Second Stew, "Below Deck" Season Six): Known by fans as two of the best second stews in Below Deck franchise history, and while Julia and Josiah were ships passing in the night on different franchises, this duo will bring their "posh" British commentary and witty take on all the shenanigans happening on m/y My Seanna.
