Kelsie Goglia has a thriving career in the yachting industry after her season-long run in Gary was accused of sexual misconduct by a former makeup artist.

The allegations against the First Officer seemingly broke while Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 was filming, leaving the fate of the show up in the air. However, after Below Deck yachties that could return and take his place, though it’s unclear if he was fired when the allegations broke. While most of the spin-off's drama has centered around Gary, the same cannot be said about former season 3 deckhand Kelsie.

Kelsie Still Works In Yachting

Kelsie Works For The USCG

Kelsie has advanced in her yachting career since Below Deck Sailing Yacht. According to her Instagram bio, she is a captain of up to 100 tons for the United States Coast Guard. Kelsie acquired her yacht master's and has been busy working since she stopped filming the show. She has all the qualifications to re the series as a successful part of the deck team, though it seems Kelsie's moved on from her reality TV days and is prioritizing her career.

Kelsie Still Hangs Out With Ashley Marti

Kelsie & Ashley Share Photos Together On Instagram

Kelsie not only walked away from Below Deck Sailing Yacht with the one-in-a-lifetime experience of being on the show but with a dear friend. She is still close to her season 3 co-star Ashley Marti, who worked as one of Daisy’s stews. Kelsie posed for a mirror selfie alongside the stew in a series of photos on her Instagram. “Awww ily and all your adventures,” Ashley wrote in the comments on the photo, while Kelsie responded, “ready for another one.” Neither of the yachties returned to the franchise since their appearance, but it’s heartwarming to see they’ve stayed in touch.

Kelsie's Journey On Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Kelsie Was A Great Deckhand During Season 3

Kelsie had a great showing during Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3. She ed the deck team as a franchise-first yachtie, reporting to Captain Glenn and Gary. While she didn’t have much experience on reality TV before the show, she had a lot of experience on the deck. Kelsie excelled in her role as a deckhand and stayed out of the crew’s drama while her dear friend, Ashley, stirred up trouble in her boatmances with Gary and Tom Pearson. She was a reliable and trustworthy deckhand, though the third installment was her last time appearing on the show.

Will Kelsie Return To Below Deck Sailing Yacht Or The Below Deck Franchise?

Kelsie hasn’t returned since her appearance in season 3. She was one of Captain Glenn’s best deckhands during the charter season, though she was one of the more forgettable Below Deck crew in the cast. She had a shy, reserved personality that allowed her to remain out of all drama.

Kelsie took her job seriously and didn’t waste time worrying about forming boatmances with her co-workers. Her commitment to the job made her a great deckhand but a less entertaining reality TV personality. It would be great to see Kelsie return to the show, but it’s unclear if production would ask her to come back at all.

The deckhand has all the skills to serve as a deckhand on Below Deck Sailing Yacht or another spin-off in the franchise. However, she’s since moved on to become a captain for the USCG and may not have time to film for the show. Below Deck prioritizes recasting dynamic yachties that bring drama and appeal to the audience. Kelsie was a beloved crew member but added little to the storyline, so it’s uncertain if she’ll ever return to Below Deck Sailing Yacht. If they need to call on a replacement deckhand, she’d be a great choice in the future.

Kelsie hasn’t looked back on her reality TV days since Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3. She’s maintained a relationship with her co-star Ashley but prioritizes her job as a USCG captain. Kelsie isn’t rumored to the cast of season 5, so it’s uncertain if she’ll ever appear on the show again.

What Has Kelsie Been Up To Since The Show?

She's Traveling Around The World

Since Kelsie's time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht wasn't full of drama like other cast , her time after the show has remained similar: drama-free. In the last year, Kelsie has been bopping around Europe, visiting countries such as Romania, Croatia, Albania, and many more. One of her most recent posts was from early March, which is a video of her and three of her friends having the time of their lives in Europe with the song, "What Dreams Are Made Of" by Hilary Duff playing in the background. They are even seen hanging out on boats.

However, in 2025, Kelise is reminiscing on all the full she had every month in 2024. Every month, Kelsie shares a series of photos from this time a year ago. Several of the images include Kelsie in San Diego, California, which is where she is from, including photos of an adorable puppy and a man who could very well be her boyfriend. While Kelsie's relationship status is unclear, there is a possibility she could be in a relationship since leaving Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

Kelsie had a great time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, but it seems she is enjoying her life more off the show. 2024 seemed like a great year, and hopefully, 2025 is just as good to her. Kelsie is sure to keep her followers updated on social media.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht seasons 1-5 are available to stream on Peacock.
