Iain Lets His Crew Members Fend For Themselves

Joe & Gael Were Left Hanging During Beach Day

Iain gives his deck team little to no help. The Bosun made his first big mistake when he failed to prepare for a beach day during the second charter of the season. The guests requested Olympic-style games, and Iain didn’t play anything. When Joe and Gael arrived at the beach, they had to set up the beach and make up games at the last minute.They were given no guidance from their Bosunand were left to fend for themselves. Joe and Gael managed to set everything up on time, but not without stress and exhaustion.

Iain Doesn’t Listen To Captain Sandy

The Bosun doesn’t listen to Captain Sandy’s requests. She spoke with him about his leadership tactics on multiple occasions. After he let Nathan and a guest drift off to sea while paddleboarding, she said it was his job to ensure a deckhand was always watching the guests. He struggled to disperse tasks among the crew when loading guests for a water excursion. WhenIain’s plan went awry, she took control,which upset him. If he listened to Captain Sandy, all conflict would have been avoided.

Iain Comes Off As Lazy

He Doesn’t Do His Job Properly

Iain’s not only a villainbut seems lazy. As a leader, he expected his deckhands to do the brunt of the deck work. He doesn’t seem good at preparing or executing work on his own.Joe has stepped up in his placeand formed a good relationship with Gael and Nathan. During segments ofBelow Deck Medseason 9, Iain is shown doing pushups, sleeping, and wandering around the Mustique instead of doing his job.
