Below Deck’s Captain Lee Rosbach just might have to hand over his “Stud of the Sea” title to deckhand Ross Inia.
The crew member, who hails from native New Zealand Māori, made waves this season when he kissed co-worker Rhylee Gerber in their bunk after a drunken night out. But that was apparently nothing compared to what was happening when the cameras weren’t rolling.
In an exclusive clip from Tuesday’sBelow Deckreunion, Inia reveals that he also romantically pursued a few more of hisBelow Deckcostars, including first stew Kate Chastain.
“We were all partying and I don’t even think he knew it was me,” Chastain tells hostAndy Cohen, as he confronts Inia about his makeouts.

“It was news to me when I found out, honestly,” Inia admits. “I get a bit too lovey sometimes when I drink a bit too much.”
Chastain wasn’t the only one stewardess Inia was after. In a crossover sure to blow the minds of Bravo fans, Inia also hooked up withBelow Deck: Mediterraneanchief stew Hannah Ferrier!
“I believe so,” he coyly says. “It was just a friendly kiss, that’s all.”
Inia’s revelation comes days after the reality star went public with his romance with Krystal Kelly Murphy — a primary charter guest onBelow Deckseason 6’s final two episodes.
“When I was on the yacht, I actually did talk to Ross though it was never shown. I was interested with him being from New Zealand because my friend Lisa, who was on the yacht, was from New Zealand,” she said, adding that both she and Ross have similar New Zealand tattoos.
“I thought he was cute,” Murphy continued. “And then after the trailer came out, Ross DM’ed me.”

Though the two are together and Instagram-official, the relationship isn’t necessarily traditional. Murphy said onAnother Below Deck Podcastthat she is still married and “not separated” from her husband, Tim.
“Tim and Ross are friends,” Murphy said, Inia laughing in the background. Murhpy has also met Inia’s 5-year-old son Kai and his mother, Inia’s on-again, off-again girlfriend, Allison.
