"Below Deck Med's" Chief Stew Tumi Talks Chaotic Season

January 25, 2024·54m

"The Below Deck" franchise on Bravo just keeps getting better and better, and this season of "Below Deck Med" was no different! Captain Sandy and the crew took us on a wild ride, filled with fights, hook ups, visa issues, doctor visits and too many drunk night outs to count! Lucky for us we have Chief Stew Tumi Mhlongo to help us review it all. While living in Cape Town, South Africa, Tumi got her big break in the yachting industry when her cultivated Instagram feed of all things "yachtie" caught the eye of Producers. Coming off of her first season on "Below Deck Down Under", where she was a superstar stew, Tumi had high expectations for her season on the Med. We talk about the lessons she learned, the hoops she had to jump through and how the drama we saw didn't compare to the drama that actually was! Tumi also gave us the low down on the yachting industry as a whole, how it works, how to get into it and what she's planning on doing next. If you love a little drama mixed with luxury, get ready for a great pod!
