Who is Max Salvador? Meet the newest deckhand on Below Deck

After the firing of a previous deckhand by Captain Sandy, New Deckie Max Salvador has been introduced to Below Deck Med.

Below Deck Med Season 8 has already seen two crew members getting fired by Captain Sandy. Because many cast mates had to leave, this meant several newcomers would be introduced instead. In the case of Max Salvador, he boarded the yacht during Season 8, Episode 3 as the newest deckhand.

So far, the newly introduced cast member Max Salvador has been struggling to adjust to the yachting crew. This is mainly due to the fact that he is French, and English is not his first language.

According to Max, it can be quite difficult to navigate the world of yachting when 1. he’s not using his native language, and 2. people are struggling to understand his accent.

Still, despite his struggles to adjust on the yacht, he has brought a lot of personality to the show so far, and fans can’t wait to see what he’ll bring to the crew.

During his initial introduction interview, Max opened up about the fact that he can never keep a job, adding that he always gets fired. Despite this, the French deckhand does have tons of experience with yachting and has been at it professionally for 4 years.

His approach to yachting, as Max explained in Episode 3, is quite similar to being in a casino. “For me, yachting is like a big casino,” he said. “You step inside it, you play, you make the money, and the only thing you need to happen is to know when you get out.”
