Below Deck Med’s Malia White Steps Behind The Rope. Quarantining from a docked boat in France, Malia is here to discuss it all. Originally from Oregon, Malia had no idea the yachting industry was her true calling until a few years ago when she got a call from Below Deck casting. Having had past experience working on small boats and teaching scuba diving in Hawaii, Malia was working at a desk job in Colorado when the casting call came. Why not?, she said, and the rest is history. Malia discusses some of her more high maintenance guests, both on and off camera, some of the most over the top requests she has received during her yachting career, how to handle celebrities you need to say “no” to, and the biggest tip she has ever received. Malia also discusses being the Below Deck Franchise's first female Bosun, sexism and the role of women in the yachting industry and how some of these issues have played out both last season on Below Deck and this season on Below Deck Med. Of course, we discuss this current season of Below Deck Med, her relationship with Hannah Ferrier, the rules when it comes to hooking up on board, the perception of Below Deck in the industry and what Captain Sandy is really like in real life.
