Brian de Saint Pern appeared on season 6 of Below Deck as the lead deckhand and is still pursuing a similar career. The last viewers saw Brian, he was in the middle of a boatmance with the third stew, Courtney Skippon. At first, she was unsure about getting involved with Brian, as Courtney did not think he was the man he tried to portray himself to be. The former stew gave the deckhand a chance, and the pair had a low-key romance for the rest of the charter season.
During the last night on the boat, Brian and Courtney spent the night in one of the guest cabins and ended the season as friends. However, at the reunion a few months later, Courtney called out Brian for sending her "venomous" and "aggressive" text messages while the season was airing. Brian shut down her accusations, saying they weren't aggressive and he was only trying to defend himself.
Since the end of season 6, Brian has continued his pursuits in the yachting industry. According to BravoTV, after the former lead deckhand left Valor in Thailand, he went to France and rejoined the boat he left before Below Deck. "We're just doing a shipyard period, fixing up the boat, a lot of maintenance," Brian revealed in April 2020. Yachting has become a full-time career for Brian, and he hopes to be working for as long as he possibly can. "I want to be a captain one day, so I'm just striving for that," he said of his yachting career goals. In fact, the South African native may not be too far off from achieving that goal. "I've just come back from Florida [...] So I've done my OOW [Officer of the Watch] modules," he shared.
Brian continued, "I just need to do my oral, and I'll be an officer of the watch, which is one step closer to being a captain." As of 2021, Brian is still working in the yachting industry but is no longer stationed in France. According to his Instagram page, Brain is currently working on a superyacht in Abu Dhabi. Recently, he hurt his foot while on the boat, fracturing his ankle with even some ligament damage. Other than working hard in the yachting industry, Brian has spent some much-needed downtime in his hometown of Durban, South Africa, with his family and friends. He even shared a photo back in March of him and his mom out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant.
Since appearing on Below Deck, Brian has been focusing on his yachting career and pursuing his ultimate goal to become a captain. Right now, he is putting in the hours in hopes to become a captain as soon as possible. Maybe in the future, Brian will replace Captain Lee and become the new captain of the series.
