Harry Van Vliet is back and better than ever, starring as a deckhand who finally gets the girl, AKA Brianna Duffield, via the Below Deck franchise. Harry first graced our screens in Season 2 of Below Deck Down Under, where he presented as a goofy, kind, and pure yachtie. While Harry failed to snag the girl in his first showing, he scored us. Likewise, Harry also gained the appreciation of his powers that be at Bravo, who brought Harry back to star in Season 3.
Returning with a higher sense of self-worth, Harry is nailing everything he squeegees, and now, he has his first reciprocated boatmance in Bri. Boatmances rarely work out on BD. Nevertheless, as BDDU Season 3 progresses, Harry and Bri keep growing closer.
We need them to continue this trend, as we agree that our mostly short-necked world would benefit from a few precious baby giraffes running amuck. So, why do we stan Harry and Bri so much? Are these loveable yachties still going strong post-filming? We will tell you everything we know now.
Below Deck Down Under boatmance between Harry Van Vliet and Brianna Duffield is a hit with viewers
The viewers cannot get enough of Harry and Bri on BDDU Season 3. Bri is a stunning model with a heart of gold. Yet, even Bri has insecurities about how Harry feels about her. Luckily, Bri picked the right boatmance, as Harry consistently makes his intentions known and clear with Bri.
Even when Harry had to go ashore to have his finger mended following a work-related accident, Harry and Bri remained in contact via text. And yes, their messages were nothing short of precious. Shortly after, an entire thread appeared on Reddit, where the viewers all agreed on one aspect: Harry and Bri are the sweetest boatmance this franchise has ever seen.
“They are the sweetest two, and I love calling them baby giraffes,” penned one, as 181 viewers thumbed up their comment. Others labeled their boatmance as “pure,” “precious,” and “refreshing,” proving that Harry and Bri are scoring wins with their fans left and right.
Throughout this thread, negative words barely surfaced. Kind reactions are a rarity in the world of reality television. So, hopefully, Harry and Bri can maintain their bond, as we are all rooting for this boatmance on BDDU.
Are Below Deck’s Harry and Brianna still together and dating off the boat?
And now, it is time for the question of the hour. Are Harry and Bri still dating now that filming on BDDU has wrapped? Production seems to have a muzzle on both of these yachties. Neither is posting any recent images of the other via their socials.
However, we do not take rejection well, so we scoured the web for clues on this ask. Harry and Bri still follow each other online. Therefore, there is a chance that they are (at least) on friendly terms in 2025.
Then we came across an interview featuring Tzarina Mace-Ralph. After speaking with Decider about how great Harry and Bri are, Decider decided to share this clip online. And in the comments, Harry and Bri both appeared.
“Not a player, [I] just love a romance and a genuine connection,” Harry typed to Tzarina, jokingly referring to her statement that he has some game this season on BDDU. Replying to his comment, Bri wrote, “Yes!”
Can we say for certainty that Harry and Bro are still together? No. But the green flags are flying, so we will continue to hold out hope that Bravo’s Zoo will one day feature an influx of baby giraffes, courtesy of Harry and Bri.
How Harry and Brianna could break the Below Deck dating curse
The Below Deck franchise began in 20013. Quickly, spin-offs emerged on Bravo. In addition to BD and BDDU, we now have Below Deck Sailing Yacht and Below Deck Mediterranean. Every series is multiple seasons in, yet only one boatmance remains on dry land.
Cheers, Nathan Gallagher and Gael Cameron from BDM Season 9. These stunners are still going strong.
We have seen a ton of boatmances in this franchise. Most of them never make it to the end of their season. And for the ones that do, they typically sink once their shared charters end. But if you ask us, Harry and Bri might be able to break this curse at the end of their season on BDDU.
In prior seasons of this spin-off, miscommunications and overactive body parts have entered the chat. Take Tzarina and Culver Bradbury, for instance. They were close in Season 2, but when Jaimee Neale boarded, Culver tried to catch himself another fish. His actions hurt Tzarina, and in Season 3, she is now facing another busted boatmance storyline.
In a world filled with annoying narratives, fans deserve positive things. Long live this pairing, or so we hope, on Bravo and beyond.
Below Deck Down Under is streaming on Peacock.
