Below Deck Sailing Yacht: Chase Lemacks & Danni Warren's Post Season 5 Relationship & Drama Explained (Their Connection Went South)
The tumultuous romance between Below Deck Sailing Yacht Stew Danni Warren and Deckhand Chase Lemacks continued long after filming wrapped, with stunning new accusations launched against the former couple. Danni caused a stir aboard the Parsifal III by hooking up with a string of men, often to the dismay of her crewmates. Danni’s confidence and persistence were endearing, but her job performance frequently fell by the wayside as her personal life took center stage.
Chase joined Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 in the middle of the season, replacing Emma Crouch after her firing. He immediately caught the attention of both Danni and her fellow Stew, Diana Cruz. While Diana was more subtle and built an emotional connection with Chase, Danni refused to wait. She swooped in and claimed Chase, undeterred by Diana’s hurt feelings. But that wasn’t the end of the drama surrounding Danni and Chase.
Chase & Danni's Boatmance Was Turbulent
Chase Felt Betrayed By Danni’s Lies
Danni and Chase’s romance encountered several bumps in the road as their time on the Parsifal III ended. Chase discovered Danni had lied about hooking up with an Ibiza club employee just days before Chase joined the crew. Although she came clean eventually of her own volition, Chase struggled to trust her after her initial deception.
With their boatmance already fragile, Danni and Chase also clashed over their plans for the future. Danni pressured Chase to commit, while he was less interested in a serious relationship. It seemed they were on different pages about where they stood, which makes their post-filming drama even more surprising.

The Former Couple’s Romance Turned Ugly

Although Daisy hadn’t heard all the details of the story, she corroborated that Danni and Chase’s relationship grew very negative.
Are Chase & Danni On Good Terms?
They’ve Made Subtle Digs At One Another
Chase and Danni’s own WWHL appearances suggest their relationship is currently strained. Danni told Andy she was currently single, and when he suggested she date Chase, Danni coldly replied, “no thanks.” She also stated she would prefer to work with First Officer Gary King over Chase. Meanwhile, during his interview, Chase said he would rather work with Diana than Danni.
Danni and Chase’s absence from each other’s social media further suggests that things ended badly between them. Neither Chase nor Danni have commented on the recent allegations. Their interactions on Below Deck Sailing Yacht add credence to the possibility that their relationship turned toxic, in which case it’s best they go their separate ways.
