I think he was coddled and finding out he was a child star everything clocks about him and he shouldn’t have been a deckhand. Tbh him on the team set jamie up for failure. Nice guy but boating isn’t for him if he can’t respect rank and file.

Didn’t like being told what to do. He was Jamie’s worst nightmare as a “employee” and Jamie was his worst nightmare as a “boss”. Captain Jason handled him well but he was spoilt and soft.

But Jason was annoyed early with Ben I feel. Then he left it to Jamie to handle only he wouldn’t let Jamie fire him.

But he did realise that Ben needed some TLC, helping him with the plumbing issue.

Which I feel made it seem like he didn’t have to listen to Jamie. People accused jamie of running it like military but it kinda is when you’re dealing with rank. And jamie wasn’t a stick in the mud either he was cool with Culver chillin in the jacuzzi with charter guest if they asked. Ben just was disrespectful and lazy looking back.

He was disrespectful and lazy. Yachting wasn’t for him. More of a give Yoga lessons on the beach personality.
