“Below Deck Mediterranean” star Aesha Scott is teasing a full-circle moment that fans won’t want to miss when franchise alum Hannah Ferrier makes a surprise return during Season 11, premiering Monday night.
Speaking exclusively about Ferrier’s highly anticipated appearance, Scott reflected on reuniting with the former chief stew, who helped introduce her to the Bravo universe years ago.
“It was the buzziest thing ever because, you know, Hannah, my homegirl, she’s my first introduction to ‘Below Deck’ my first season,” Scott exclusively told Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea.”
“And I think to have it come full circle and to have her come to visit me, while I’ve grown into this space, it just felt like a very special pinch-me kind of moment.”
The New Zealand-born reality star says Ferrier went above and beyond to support her during filming.
“And she came all the way from Australia,” Scott shared. “She was there for, like, three days to cheer me on.”
While Ferrier’s return is expected to be one of the season’s most talked-about moments, Scott has plenty to celebrate off-screen, too.
The fan-favorite yachtie married longtime partner Scott Dobson in March 2026 after planning much of their wedding while at sea filming the latest installment of “Below Deck Mediterranean” — no easy feat for a bride juggling charter guests, crew dynamics and spotty Wi-Fi.
Now settling into married life, Scott told us the experience has brought the couple even closer together.
“This sounds so silly, but being married feels so amazing,” she gushed. “It’s honestly the first time in six years I’ve really been thinking of us as a team because we are such independent people, and I think that’s why we work so well.”
The reality personality explained that she and Dobson have always trusted each other and comfortably maintained independent lives due to her demanding work schedules.
“Because we give each other a very long leash, we have a lot of trust and we do live very separate lives a lot of the time,” she continued. “And that was totally fine.”

But since saying “I do,” Scott told Page Six that their outlook has shifted.
“Since we’ve gotten married, I just feel so bonded and feel like such a unit that now we are taking on a lot of joint projects, and we have so many joint plans,” she explained. “It just feels really special, like, Aesha and Scott versus the world.”
Dobson, meanwhile, remains her biggest supporter.
“He’s proud of me as his partner, he’s proud of me as a person and he’s just my biggest cheerleader,” Scott gushed. “Anything that I want to do and achieve, he’s like, ‘Great, how can we do it? Let’s go!’”
“Below Deck Mediterranean” airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo with new episodes available to stream the next day on Peacock.
