Aesha Scott Navigates New Waters: Returning as Chief Stew on 'Below Deck Med' Season 10

Prepare for a tidal wave of charm and a touch of delightful chaos, because fan-favorite Aesha Scott is back, gracing our screens as the Chief Stew for the milestone tenth season of Below Deck Mediterranean! After conquering the high seas on Below Deck Down Under, Aesha returns to the sun-drenched European waters, ready to take on her biggest challenge yet, under the watchful eye of a very familiar face.

Stepping into the Chief Stew role on Med marks a significant full-circle moment for Aesha, who first won hearts as a vivacious second stew.

While she expertly commanded the interior on Down Under, the Mediterranean circuit brings its own unique set of pressures and expectations. Yet, for Aesha, the transition felt remarkably natural, largely thanks to her enduring bond with Captain Sandy Yawn.

"I’ve always said that Captain Sandy is like a mother figure to me, and I just adore her," Aesha shared with a warmth that radiates through the screen.

"She’s really helped me grow." This profound connection fostered an environment of comfort and trust, allowing Aesha to truly shine. Their professional dynamic, seasoned with genuine affection, is undoubtedly one of the season's highlights, promising both steadfast leadership and heartwarming moments.

Don’t let the stunning backdrops fool you; the Chief Stew position is notoriously demanding.

Aesha candidly admits, "It’s so much harder than it looks!" From meticulously managing provisioning and anticipating every guest whim to navigating the unpredictable currents of crew dynamics, the role requires constant vigilance and an uncanny ability to multitask. "You’re always running around, always thinking, always anticipating," she revealed, painting a vivid picture of the relentless pace.

Her personal goal? To maintain that signature "fun vibe" while upholding the highest standards of professionalism, a tightrope walk only Aesha can perfect.

Beyond the demanding deck life, Aesha’s personal world has also reached exciting new horizons. Fans will be thrilled to know that her fiancé, Scott, remained her unwavering pillar of support during filming.

Their love story continues to flourish, with a beautiful wedding date set for March 2025 in the idyllic landscapes of New Zealand. Balancing the intensity of filming a reality show with planning a dream wedding is no small feat, but Aesha approaches it all with her characteristic optimism and infectious enthusiasm.

Reflecting on her journey, Aesha marvels at her transformation from a "naughty little deckhand" to a confident and responsible Chief Stew.

Her growth, both personal and professional, is undeniable, making her return to Below Deck Med all the more compelling. This season promises a vibrant mix of personalities, leading to what Aesha affectionately calls "chaos" – but the good kind! Expect plenty of drama, laughs, and the unforgettable moments that only a Below Deck crew can deliver.

For any aspiring yachties or future cast members, Aesha’s advice is pure gold: "Keep a good attitude, no matter what happens...

learn as much as you can from everyone around you... and just enjoy the experience." It’s this very philosophy that has propelled her from strength to strength, solidifying her status as a beloved figure in the Below Deck universe. Her return to Below Deck Mediterranean isn't just a comeback; it's a testament to her journey, her growth, and her unshakeable spirit, promising a season that's nothing short of spectacular.
