The fourth spin-off of the ‘Below Deck’ franchise, Bravo’s ‘Below Deck Adventure’ is a reality TV series that follows a similar format to the previous shows of the franchise. As the name suggests, in this installment, the crew and the adventurous charter guests on a megayacht indulge in thrilling and adrenaline-pumping off-ship activities, including bicycling, rock climbing, and parasailing.
Besides that, the show sees the yacht crew deal with the guests’ high expectations and the saucy drama that ensues among them over the weeks. While all the adventure and interpersonal interactions make a gripping watch, the spectacular and picturesque scenery with the backdrop of the open waters begs the question — where is ‘Below Deck Adventure’ lensed? So, if you are on board the same boat of curiosity, allow us to take you ahead!
