Parker McCown, who appeared on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 1, has moved on from his career in the yachting industry to a different life on land. After quitting his job as the deckhand on Parsifal III in Greece, Parker decided to spend the rest of his time in the country with his ex-girlfriend, Katie. During his time there, Parker proposed to her while the couple went scuba diving.
Before Parker decided to quit, there was a lot of back and forth between him and first mate Paget Berry regarding his attitude on board. Paget felt as though Parker didn't respect the hierarchy on a yacht and didn't care to listen to Paget's constructive criticism. Nonetheless, Parker realized he wasn't in the right headspace to continue his role as a deckhand. He ended up leaving the yacht, and possibly his whole career in the yachting industry, behind in the middle of the season.
Since Parker left the yacht in season 1, his life has completely changed. Parker seems to have left the yachting industry behind him and is now focusing on his music career. According to Parker's Instagram page, he is a part of a band called Hickabee. The former deckhand's role in the band is the singer and guitarist. Parker recently played a few shows, one in Colorado Springs and the other in the Fox 21 studio. A few months ago, his band also released their first music video for their song "Mountain Morning" on the Hickabee YouTube channel. Beside's their official music video, there are also a few live performances available to watch as well. It seems as though Parker's career changed worked out for the better.
Besides his new career in music, Parker may have had a change in his personal life as well. After he left Parsifal III, Parker traveled through Greece with his ex, Katie, for a few weeks. At some point in the trip, he proposed to Katie underwater while the two were scuba diving. As of the reunion last summer, the pair were still happily engaged. However, today, there is no trace of Katie on Parker's Instagram page. In fact, Parker doesn't even follow Katie on social media anymore, but she still follows him. The pair likely decided to break off their engagement as the couple was supposed to get married sometime during the summer of 2021, according to BravoTV.
Parker's life has made a swift change since joining the yacht on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 1. Instead of focusing on the work of a deckhand, he is succeeding as a musician. As for a return to the Bravo series, as of right now, that ship has sailed for Parker.
