Ashton Pienaar joined the cast of Below Deck seasons 6 and 7, and he has since completely changed his life around. During his first season on the Bravo series, Ashton was one of the deckhands working alongside Ross Inia, Rhylee Gerber, Tyler Rowland, and bosun Chandler Brooks. For his second season, Ashton was promoted to bosun. In the beginning, Aston was a favorite amongst the viewers – especially after his near-death experience when his foot got caught in a tow line and dragged into the water. Luckily, a cameraman was standing by and jumped into the ocean to save him.

However, Ashton Pienaar didn’t have the same luck the following season. The fans started to turn on the bosun when he began heavily drinking on the nights out. In fact, throughout the season, Ashton targeted chief stew Kate Chastain and belligerently lashed out at her during a night out. As a result of his anger, he punched the inside of the van door while on their way back to their mega-yacht, Valor. Ashton was never asked to join the Bravo series again, with Captain even claiming he wouldn’t work with him again.

Since leaving the Bravo series after season 7, Ashton Pienaar has started taking up fitness coaching with his company AP Elite. According to Ashton’s Instagram page, he works as a trainer and helps people from around the world eat healthier and stay on track with their exercise routine. He started the company shortly after his last season of Below Deck came to an end, as he felt the need to improve on himself. Viewers may remember the season 7 reunion and how remorseful he was about the way he treated Kate and his deckhand Rhylee Gerber. Ashton started counseling shortly after to deal with the issues he identified while watching himself on-screen.

One of the issues that Ashton realized after watching himself back was the way that he would heavily drink after every charter. Shortly before the reunion, he decided to become sober. In 2021, the fitness guru took to social media to celebrate his first full year of sobriety. He wrote in his caption, “Sometimes, in life, situations happen that make you take a step back and assess everything,” he began. The yachtie added that the decision to initially appear on Below Deck “was an easy decision” for him to make as he “was 100% confident in the person” he was at the time. After going through a near-death experience on the act, Ashton returned for another season and became the person he never wanted to be. Now that he is more than a year sober, Ashton is working towards becoming “a brother to look up to and a son to be proud of.”

Since then, Ashton has been focusing on his health and fitness, while helping others in that department as well. While his Below Deck days may be behind him, Ashton is looking forward to a future as a better man. Who knows, maybe Captain Lee will consider giving Ashton a second chance at redemption.
