‘Below Deck Med’: Colin Macy-O’Toole Shares Wild Experiences in Boating (And the Funny Moment He Met Andy Cohen) – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Before he was a beloved deckhand on Below Deck Mediterranean, Colin Macy-OToole commanded the ferry back and forth from Fire Island and shared some pretty insane incidents that occurred on his route.

Macy-OToole dished with the hosts from the Out in the Wild podcast about how he ended up on Below Deck Med, his crazy experiences as a ferryboat captain, plus his first encounter with Bravo producer Andy Cohen. Macy-OToole says his first brush with Cohen occurred long before he ended up on the show. He added that landing on Below Deck Med was almost a fluke as he was originally supposed to appear on Below Deck season 5 when Nico Scholly was bosun.

Even though he applied to be on the show as a joke, he was called for Below Deck season 5. His girlfriend at the time didnt want him to go on the show, so he backed off. Macy-OToole later found himself single and set sail on Below Deck Med. While he may have found some of the guests on the show to be pretty wild, their antics may not compare to what he saw as a ferryboat captain.

When the hosts asked for stories, Macy-OToole wanted to make sure they were appropriate for the audience. Ive got a couple of stories, but I dont want to be inappropriate, he says.

He recalls being approached by a passenger while he was hanging out with a young new crew member. A guy comes up to us and was like, Theres a guy you know, smoking. You cant smoke on the boat, Macy-OToole explains. This guys smoking in the back. Its midnight or whatever. So we asked the new kid, Alright check it out see whats happening. Macy-OToole reveals that when the new crew member ventured over to the passenger, he wasnt exactly smoking. But rather a passenger was performing oral sex on someone. Needless to say, Macy-OToole shared that the young new crew members life was forever changed.

But, Ive had people as a captain, guys come on the boat with just a shirt on, Macy-OToole says. No underpants. No anything. Hey, as long as youre sitting down and not being an a**hole, I dont care.

Speaking of Fire Island, Macy-OToole says he first met Cohen while he was working as a ferryboat captain. He says he met Cohen about five years ago when Cohen was staying on the island. He didnt know who I was at the time, Macy-OToole shares.

So if you have a house over at the beach, and you get an Amazon package, instead of you going back to Sayville and getting the package, well just deliver you the package, Macy-OToole describes. Like you just call in, I have a package for Cohen. So you pick it up, this is about five, six, seven years ago. And we have a package for an A. Cohen. So me and all the girls were there like, Oh that would be funny if it was Andy Cohen!'

Macy-OToole recalls docking the boat with Cohens package. And right in front, waiting for us to dock is Andy Cohen in his little bathing suit just booty popping. Im like, Alright its his.' Macy-OToole recalls that Cohen approached him for the package, which was $3 for the delivery. Hes like patting himself down, like, I dont have any money on me,' Macy-OToole says.

He remembers Cohen asking random people if they had any money and ended up borrowing the $3 from a stranger. Macy-OToole said he re-told the story on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen just kidding around. After the show, he gives me a bottle of Don Julio and says, Sorry for being a pain in the ass., Macy-OToole laughs adding he only told the story because he thought it was comical.
