A special half-hour preview special airs at 10 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 23, and the series itself premieres at 9 p.m. ET Tuesday, May 3.

According to the Bravo website, Howard’s advice to aspiring yacht crew members is to be honest, work hard and pay attention to senior crew members, while never forgetting the golden rule of yachting: “The guest is always right.”

Other crew members include chef Ben Robinson, chief stewardess Hannah Ferrier, stewardesses Julia d’Albert Pusey and Tiffany Copeland, first mate Bryan Kattenburg, and deckhands Jen Riservato, Danny Zureikat and Bobby Giancola.

Here’s a glimpse from Bravo about what viewers can expect from the show:

“Voyaging from Santorini, Mykonos and many of the Greek islands, each episode features a new group of elite clientele who present a new set of challenges, all while offering the crew a glamorous lifestyle and exotic perks that most people only dream of experiencing. For these young, attractive and adventurous yachties, the ‘work hard, play harder’ nature of the job combined with the pressure of working in the most exclusive yachting scene in the world pushes the team close to the breaking point.”
