After returning throughout season 10, Joe spoke completely to Us Weekly about attending to work with Nathan Gallagher once more — together with what surprises Bravo viewers can anticipate in later episodes — and teased what he discovered from his previous love triangle with Bri Muller and Elena Dubaich:
What was it like getting the decision from Captain Sandy?
I didn't actually take into consideration if I'm going to go on a brand new season once more. I'm simply doing me. I simply needed to be higher each single day. So now I work on yachts and that's my job. Then I obtained a name from Captain Sandy saying, “Joe, I really need you.” So I used to be like, “OK, what bridge do I have to be in to be just right for you? As a result of should you really need me, I'm going to be there for you.” It simply felt it was type of overwhelming. The truth that Captain Sandy would possibly truly need me for a job on deck once more felt good.
Was there something you needed to do in another way from final season?
Final season — keep in mind it was solely my second boat ever in my profession — I used to be promoted to steer deck. That was with out the expertise for a pacesetter position, however now I'm prepared for a boson place.
I'm studying each single day, on daily basis, each month and yearly. I'm getting larger and higher. So on the skilled aspect, I'm going to utterly smash it. Don't get me unsuitable, we're not good. So I'm going to make a couple of errors — such is life — however that's the place I'm rising on knowledgeable foundation.
So can we sit up for seeing you as bosun subsequent season on Beneath Deck Med?
I'm a bosun now, however I want.
When it got here to your earlier friendship with Nathan, did it's a must to method issues in another way on deck with him as your superior?
He's the boss, so I'm going to respect his place. I don't wish to step on any toes or something like that as a result of I wish to be there. I wish to be there for an expensive buddy and respect knowledgeable place no matter who it's. So was I nervous? Not one single bit. I simply wish to be there for somebody. That's my tackle it.
What was it like seeing him as bosun?
It was good. Seeing any individual develop is all the time a blessing. That is his first bosun position, and clearly, you bought to do some tweaks — don't all of us? However to be there and to have his again was good.
You had been lead deckhand final yr, however this time Max [Salvador] was arrange for that place. What are you able to tease about the place that lands? How do you guys work collectively?
I've obtained to say that we're a really robust workforce. Nathan is the bosun and there may very well be a possible lead deckhand within the combine. Who's it going to be? Me or Max? You'll discover out.
We do nonetheless have one open spot on the deck workforce. How will that fill out?
What I can tease is that the place will get crammed and it's crammed very effectively. They do an excellent job. I'll put it that approach.
What did you consider the deckhands that did go away? Tessa [Budd] did say “f*** her” to Captain Sandy when she was giving her recommendation. What did you consider that?
I discover it totally unprofessional and uncalled for. You bought fired, however there's no want for that. Choices are being made by a number of folks for the working boats. Now should you've obtained fired, take it on the chin and don't be saying all that stuff. It's utterly unprofessional. I don't know these guys. I got here on and changed them. Christian [Trimino] — from what I noticed — we've obtained no time on any boat to be aggressive. He was saying that he needs to hit Max and there's simply no want for a bodily atmosphere — or any aggressive atmosphere.
You probably did say you had been attempting to not leap into any romance — after which instantly you met two women who caught your eye. How lengthy till you discover that? Do you discover that?
Simply purely based mostly off final season, I'm positive you'll be able to catch the drift.
What did you be taught out of your love triangle final season? Did you be taught something?
Completely nothing.
Are you continue to in touch with both Bri or Elena?
They perceive my message. My message is I'm single and if you wish to have a little bit of enjoyable and provides me the identical power that it simply will get a bit chaotic. However I'm your buddy on the finish of the day, so I've nonetheless obtained contact with Elena and I'm nonetheless in touch with Bri.
We're pals and we're younger and we're in a closed atmosphere. It's going to occur. However I've obtained contact with everybody and I've obtained no malicious intentions.
Would you say you deal with issues higher this season than final season by way of romance?
To reply that query with no smile on my face, it was simply chaos.
What was the most effective a part of having Nathan as your boss? Was there something that he may enhance on?
Having Nathan as my boss was good to see as a result of you'll be able to see an individual develop. However don't get me unsuitable, you do see a really completely different aspect of Nathan this season. When you're a bit extra organized, issues will work out higher.
Based mostly on the trailer, we all know Gael [Cameron] comes again. What does that appear to be?
At this cut-off date — like once I simply got here again — Nathan actually did have robust emotions towards Gael. I simply discover it's a blessing that they rekindled that relationship as a result of it's pure love that they've obtained. We may solely want as a species to seek out that stage of affection. It's only a blessing and the truth that they've obtained a child, what a present. I couldn't be extra glad.
What was it like seeing him as a dad?
I haven't met his child but, however from what I've seen on social media, he seemed completely beautiful. Don't get me unsuitable, I did attempt to ship a couple of messages to Nathan, however he's busy. He's a dad and he may very well be on a ship someplace — I'm not too positive. We're simply not likely socially inclined [and] we don't actually converse, however [from] what I've seen, what a beautiful little child that's.
How was it having Sandy as your boss once more?
She's such a superb chief and such a robust individual that I actually do look as much as this lady professionally — and by way of simply being a superb human being.
Are there any misconceptions that you simply suppose folks have in regards to the season?
I've obtained a couple of feedback — and let me simply say, the trailer doesn't present something. The trailer is a tease of what truly occurs this season. This season is a bombshell, and it's chaotic. It's unforgettable. It's truthfully an insane season and the trailer doesn't do it justice.
What are you able to tease about what's to come back?
What I can provide you is it's simply chaos and drama. It's simply not centered on one group. All of us obtained it — everybody on this boat. Nobody was let off straightforward. This season, it's like final yr didn't even occur.
