On October 19, 2025, fans of Bravo’s Below Deck Mediterranean have a prime opportunity to witness a long-awaited reconciliation in person aboard a City Cruises vessel on the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. The event, titled “A Night with Captain Sandy Yawn and Hannah Ferrier,” brings together the show’s trailblazing captain and her former chief stewardess for an intimate evening of storytelling and Q&A. Departing from Pier 4, 580 Water Street SW, the cruise runs from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, offering guests a three-hour journey past iconic landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial under the evening sky. This exclusive outing is part of the City Cruises Live series, which has already hosted the duo in San Diego, New York City, and Chicago earlier in the year, but the D.C. stop marks a special extension of their tour, blending celebrity access with scenic sightseeing.
What makes this event particularly compelling is the real-life drama it stems from—the infamous season 5 firing of Hannah Ferrier by Captain Sandy in 2020 over an undeclared Valium prescription and CBD vape, which violated maritime safety rules and sparked widespread fan backlash. Since then, the two have mended their relationship through private conversations, including a heartfelt three-hour chat in Sydney in 2024, and now share representation with the same agency, leading to collaborative appearances like this one. Attendees can expect candid discussions on behind-the-scenes yacht mishaps, the challenges of working in a high-pressure environment, and how they’ve moved past their feud to support each other. The evening includes a multi-course buffet dinner, drinks from an open bar (premium options available), and plenty of time for audience questions, making it feel like a floating therapy session with Below Deck flair.
Priced between $79 and $286 (for the fancy folks) per ticket for those 21 and older, this rain-or-shine affair promises value for Bravo enthusiasts and newcomers alike, with all-inclusive dining and unparalleled views of the nation’s capital from the water. Reservations are available through the City Experiences website, and early arrival is recommended for security checks. As the final D.C. installment of the 2025 City Cruises Live series, it caps off a year of high-profile reunions and underscores the enduring appeal of Below Deck Mediterranean’s mix of luxury, conflict, and camaraderie. Whether you’re a die-hard fan reliving old episodes or simply seeking a unique night out, this cruise offers a front-row seat to what we are sure will be an interesting event!
