Take a luxury yacht staffed with beautiful people more concerned with looking in the mirror than looking after wealthy guests and you have "Below Deck" – the reality TV show that takes cabin fever to the next level. All aboard for season 12...

Here's how to watch "Below Deck" season 12 online from anywhere with a VPN.

'Below Deck' S12: Live streams, TV channel, Date

"Below Deck" S12 premieres Monday, June 2 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo in the U.S. with new episodes available to stream on Peacock the next day.
• U.S. — Bravo (via Sling or Fubo) / Peacock
• Watch anywhere try NordVPN risk-free

As ever, most of the (on screen) crew have no idea what they are doing, the chef suffers from seasickness, and the no-nonsense Australian captain is no 'boat daddy'.

To ensure season 12 recaptures "Below Deck's" glory days, when Captain Lee and Chief Stew Kate tore up every ;yachtie' stereotype, the ship is stocked with booze ahead of Caribbean charters to the Saint Maarten, Anguilla, and St. Barths.

Apparently, "a guest roster of rude elites, party animals, and adult film stars will test the 'beautifully incestuous' crew's work ethic (and inevitably drive them into each other's arms)."

Bring it on. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch "Below Deck" season 12 online.
