One Crew Member Was Fired and Another Left During an Explosive Below Deck: "Not Acceptable”

After several weeks of less-than-smooth sailing with the St. David crew, Captain Kerry Titheradge completed his first official Below Deck firing on Season 11, Episode 7 (which aired on March 18).

The Aussie captain, who joined the series for Season 11 after appearing on Below Deck Adventure, let (SPOILER) Jared Woodin go following a series of mistakes as well a conflict with deckhand Kyle Stillie.

Jared wasn't the only yachtie who left the boat, however. Stew Cat Baugh decided to leave the vessel voluntarily after getting a serious phone call from a friend./p h3More from Bravo:/h3 pa href="https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/why-hasnt-jared-woodin-met-his-daughter-below-deck-recap" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"strongBelow Deck's Jared Woodin Shares Why He Hasn't Met His Daughter Yet/strong/a/p pa href="https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/barbie-pascual-shares-marriage-details-on-below-deck-season-11" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"strongBarbie Pascual Reveals the Surprising Reason She Isn't Divorced and "Legally Married" to Her Ex/strong/a/p pa href="https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/captain-kerry-titheradge-confronts-jared-woodin-and-kyle-stillie" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"strongSee Who Captain Kerry Titheradge Is Confronting in the Middle of the Night: "This Is Unacceptable"/strong/a/p div class="blog-post__faq" div class="faq--question" h2Who did Jared Woodin get fired on emBelow Deck/em Season 11, Episode 7?/h2 /div div class="faq--answer" pAs soon as Season 11 began, Captain Kerry recognized that Jared wasn't cut out to be the Bosun of a mega yacht.
