Below Deck Med’s Jessika Asai says she was “inspired” by Captain Sandy to get her license 2023

Captain Sandy Yawn isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but for Below Deck Med newcomer Jessika Asai, she’s her mentor in the cruise industry.

During his many years at the helm of Below Deck Mediterranean, Captain Sandy Yawn was not exactly known for impressing crew members and viewers.

Not only do fans consider her the worst captain in the BD series, but some of her former co-stars have also spoken out against her.

From chief stewardess Hannah Ferrier alleging that Sandy didn’t like her from the start, to captain Lee Rosbach not returning her calls, she was in big trouble.

However, there are some Below Deck members who support the yacht star, one of whom is Season 8’s Jessika Asai.

Does Below Deck Med’s Jessika like Captain Sandy?

On October 24, Jessika spoke with Hawaii-based outlet Big Island Now to discuss season eight. During this time, the reality star made sure to praise her boss, Captain Sandy.

“She really set the standard for women in the industry,” says Jessika. I admire and am so inspired by her that I am now actually considering getting my captain’s license here in the islands.”

Who knows? If she actually completes her licensing and becomes a captain, we could have our hands on a Below Deck Hawaii in the coming years.

For now, viewers can see Jessika shine in Season 8 of Med under the leadership of both Captain Sandy and Tumi Mhlongo. So far, she hasn’t had any on-screen disagreements with the cast or guests, which has quickly made her a fan favorite of the season. Hopefully her non-confrontational personality will continue.
