Who is Xandi Oliver? Below Deck Season 11’s “vampire” doesn’t like “human contact”

Below Deck Season 11 introduced us to several new faces, including the new Stew, Xandi Oliver. Here’s everything you need to know about her.

Bravo’s Below Deck Season 11 is underway, and viewers were delighted to see new faces among the crew. Apart from two former crew members returning, the entire cast line-up was renewed. The ones joining Below Deck this season would be Bosun Jared Woodin, Chef Anthony Iracane, deckhands Kyle Stillie and Sunny, and stews Cat Baugh and Barbie.

Viewers also had to say goodbye to their OG Captain Lee Rosbach. Captain Kerry Titheradge, who previously worked on Below Deck Adventure, became his replacement.

Stew Xandi Olivier is set to make her reality TV debut in Below Deck Season 11, where she will be working on St. David as it charters across Grenada.

Below Deck would be Xandi’s reality TV debut

Xandi was born in the city of Pretoria in South Africa, where she got her Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management at the University of Pretoria. The 29-year-old is a family person who doesn’t shy away from expressing her love for people who matter in her life. Xandi later moved to Florida, where she spends most of her time with her family and friends.

She expressed her love for travel and adventure by using the word ‘wanderlust’ to describe herself in her Instagram bio. According to her social media profiles, some of Xiandi’s other interests include live music and stand-up comedy.

The new Below Deck stew is joining the superyacht with six years of work experience under her belt. In the season preview, the stew can be seen having a wholesome connection with the chief stew Fraser Olender.

Interestingly, Xandi can be seen keeping a bunch of crystals in her room to have a good ‘aura’. She later explained that her crystals help her deal with her anxieties. She also claimed she was a vampire, witch, and a she-wolf. She explained further, saying, “I only come to life at night.” She thinks of herself as a vampire because she hates the sun and “human contact”.

Below Deck Season 11 is set to return to our screens in February 2024 and the episodes are available to stream on Peacock.
