Captain Kerry Titheradge and his crew face an unexpected challenge when trying to start their yacht's engine for the season 13 premiere of "Below Deck" in Phuket. The issue arises after only one successful attempt using limited compressed air, with Captain Titheradge explaining that they have just two more attempts before the engine fails completely. This situation leaves guests on board waiting while the crew works to resolve the problem and ensure the vacation can begin as planned.

Story summary
In the premiere of Below Deck Season 13, Captain Kerry Titheradge and his crew face unexpected engine trouble while preparing to welcome charter guests in Phuket, Thailand. The episode marks the first time the show has visited Phuket since 2019. Despite returning cast members like chief stew Fraser Olender and second stew Rainbeau de Roos, new challenges arise with a fresh set of crew members joining the luxury motor yacht Azul V.
As guests settle in to enjoy their lavish accommodations, the yacht's engine stalls during startup attempts. This leaves the captain worried about the vessel’s ability to depart on time if the problem persists. Captain Titheradge expresses his concern by stating, "If it stalls three times, it’s not starting the fourth time," highlighting the urgency and potential complications of the mechanical issue.
