Who Is Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Colin Macrae?
Colin Macrae joined the cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht for Season Two, but who is he?
In a bio shared by Bravo, Macrae is described as a long-time sailor who worked as a Chief Engineer on numerous superyachts for eight years prior to joining the Bravo cast on Parsifal III. "With a big heart and an impish smile, Colin is more than happy to lend a hand anywhere that he might be needed. But when Colin's kindness gets mistaken for weakness, fireworks fly," the bio teased.
Macrae, who has tattoos and long hair, put his boating skills to work aboard the Parsifal III, alongside returning cast member Captain Glenn Shephard, and was part of an all-new crew on the waters of Croatia. The crew included Chef Natasha De Bourg, Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, First Mate Gary King, Second Stew Dani Soares, Third Stew Alli Dore, and Deckhands Sydney Zaruba and Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux. However, when it came to his time aboard, Macrae wasn't all business and, in the trailer, promised viewers that things were "gonna get crazy" between himself and the other yachties (via YouTube).
In addition to boating, Macrae is a bit of a social media master.
