The breakout star of Bravo's next reality TV juggernaut is ready to settle down. Almost

You wouldn't know it from watching "Below Deck Sailing Yacht," but Gary King likes to have space to himself. Before he starts the summer charter season, he likes to book a hotel room for a few days. "If I can have my own space, and just relax a little bit, it makes the season a lot easier," says the 33-year-old via video chat from a hotel room in Sardinia he's booked for precisely this purpose.

King, who is from South Africa, has just finished a day of work aboard Parsifal III, the 177-foot sailing yacht that provides a setting for some of the most outrageous antics in the Bravo universe.

Each show in the dangerously habit-forming "Below Deck" franchise follows the hard-partying crew members and demanding guests aboard yachts in exotic destinations around the world, from the Caribbean to the South Pacific. Now in its third season, "Sailing Yacht" is arguably the most dramatic incarnation of "Below Deck," thanks to tighter living quarters, wind-tossed working conditions and adventure-hungry crew members.
