Danny Zureikat made his TV debut on Below Deck Mediterranean season 1, and unfortunately for him, the season was also his last. The Bravo reality TV show has grown in popularity since 2016. It followed the staff of a luxury motor yacht, Ionian Princess, as they catered to their rich guests while giving fans a taste of the drama on board. Captain Mark Howard was at the helm of the yacht and took the yachties through Greece, with Hannah Ferrier as Chief Stew. Among the crew, Danny was a crowd-pleaser but left the show midway until he made an appearance in the final episode of the season.
The bubbly Danny knew how to make his guests feel at home, but he got carried away while getting a bit too familiar with someone. Danny had even received a warning from Captain Mark about drawing boundaries with the guests. Danny was breaking quite a few rules on the show, which eventually led to his dismissal. Danny got into arguments with crew members and became enemies with deckhand Bobby Giancola, and even Hannah. However, things got out of hand when Danny was caught flirting with model and guest Morgan. Danny wrote a poem for Morgan and shared a kiss with her only to be sent packing.
Danny No Longer Works In Yachting
Perhaps the worst thing Danny could have done was show photos of the women on board to the other guests. It was Hannah who’d discovered him doing it, and Captain Mark showed Danny the door. During an interview with BravoTV in 206, Danny admitted he was “at a loss for words” when he was handed his plane ticket. However, he did respect Captain Mark’s decision. The Captain had advised Danny to explore a career outside of yachting. Danny explored more of Greece and headed to work on another yacht in the Caribbean with Below Deck star Aleks Taldykin.
Danny worked as a “freelance deckhand/engineer” in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a while, but at the same time, Danny was open to opportunities in the Film and TV industry. Apart from having an associate degree in Computer Networking Systems, Danny had a past with modeling. In July 2018, Danny tweeted that he had worked “one of the toughest yacht charters” he had worked. It may have also prompted Danny to try and fulfill his dream of launching an acting career.
