“Below Deck Mediterranean” is a reality television series that has a somewhat similar premise to its original version. The Bravo TV show revolves around a crew that lives and works aboard a luxury yacht in European destinations.
In each episode, they must take care of a new set of rich and different travelers while working together as a unit. Different guests bring different demands and wish on board, causing intense drama among the yacht’s crew members.
Apart from that, the reality show is fascinating and entertaining against the backdrop of some exotic and gorgeous locations. In the seventh season, Sandy Yawn is back at the helm of the yacht, as she was in most of the previous seasons. Since “Below Deck Mediterranean” was filmed in several European locations on various yachts, it’s natural to wonder where Below Deck Mediterranean Season 7 series was filmed.
Where Was Below Deck Mediterranean Season 7 Series Filmed?
“Below Deck Mediterranean” Season 7 took place on location in the Maltese archipelago, specifically the islands of Malta, Gozo, and Comino, as well as Birgo. Principal photography for the show’s seventh season is believed to have begun in September 2021 and wrapped in October of that year.

In an interview with TV Insider in July 2022, Captain Sandy Yawn was asked about the challenges she and her crew faced while filming in Malta. She said: “In the harbor where we anchored, the dolphins [pillars] are not lined up. I didn’t have anyone to open the dolphins as I did in Šibenik, Croatia, where the selection process would tear them apart.”
Captain Yawn added: “I had a really good crew to help me maneuver the ship. The cross-currents of the winds were very mobile. However, it was a beautiful place, but because it was such a small area where we were around the island, it was always difficult to find good protection.”
Republic of Malta
All of the pivotal sequences for “Below Deck Mediterranean” season 7 were reportedly filmed at various locations in Malta, Gozo, and Comino, which are all three main islands of the Maltese archipelago. In addition, the cast and crew of the show have been spotted in and around the town of Birgu in the southeast of Malta. As in previous seasons, most of the filming of the seventh iteration of the reality show was done aboard a luxury yacht named “Home”.

The luxury yacht is 50 meters long and has enough space to accommodate up to 12 guests in six cabins. The Home’s sun terrace and sky lounge were several popular spots among guests during filming. In addition, Captain Yawn and her crew also apparently dined at local restaurants.
