Here's Where Below Deck's Tiffany Copeland Is Today

That's right — Tiffany Copeland is a captain now. No one would have guessed the seemingly unmotivated third stew from the first season of Below Deck Med would emerge as a boat captain one day, but that's exactly what's happened. According to Cheat Sheet, Copeland stuck with yachting following her stint on the hit Bravo show, "worked her way up to first mate," and eventually achieved her current status as captain. Apparently, Copeland knew it was meant to be all along. In a throwback Instagram post from October 2018, the yachtie showed off a picture of herself wearing a jersey adorned with the word "Captain" across the back and captioned it, "Even at age 21 I knew I wanted to be a captain."

Copeland didn't find her way to the captain's chair alone though. She revealed to Bravo's The Daily Dish that fellow Below Deck castmate Bryan Kattenburg encouraged her to go for her license — a certification she compares to a driver's license. "You can get it, but it doesn't mean you know what you're doing yet. So, you have to practice," she told The Passion Point podcast in 2016. Copeland also noted that she received a lot of training while working alongside other captains. 

Although she has clearly been busy building her career, Tiffany Copeland also managed to make time for love and marriage.
