Kyle Dixon starred in two seasons of Below Deck. During Season 4, he was on our screens for all 14 episodes. But, in Season 5, Kyle was absent until Episode 11 aired. And now, we give thanks for his replacement services while offering a moment of silence for anyone who tried touching his food. IYKYK.
Kyle had some rocky moments on BD. He also had an iconic transgender girlfriend back home named Ashley, who made an appearance, and a daughter, courtesy of an ex-girlfriend. Yet, Kyle set his cheeky sights on Sierra Storm, a Season 4 stew. His pursuit was hot, causing Sierra to relent and join him on a date.
But when Kyle learned that Sierra also had a beau back home, he reacted poorly, and it was not a great look.
When Kyle returned at the tail end of Season 5, we learned that he and Ashley were no more. And oh! He and his ex were having a second child, so, surprise!
But where is Kyle now? Be advised: mystery still surrounds this man.
Kyle Dixon starred in Smuggled, another reality television series in 2019
Kyle must have liked starring in a reality television series because, in 2019, he jumped headfirst into his next televised gig. While Below Deck has aired a few controversial moments on Bravo, Smuggled, the show Kyle next appeared on, beats this by a mile.
Smuggled was a British documentary miniseries that aired on Channel 4. This series introduced us to eight British nationals. Each of these eight players had to find a way to somehow smuggle themselves back into Britain. However, sometimes reality television hits closer to home than usual, which is the case here, so the first episode was back by a week.
What had happened was that 39 people were found deceased in a refrigerated lorry in Essex. The victims, all Vietnamese, had been illegally smuggled into the UK Smuggled landed at an awful time.
I will go more into this in a bit, but Kyle recently deleted his Instagram account. However, Showbiz CheatSheet grabbed the receipts from his page before he went dark. It was clear from his post that Kyle was excited about this series.
In his since-deleted post, Kyle shared, “ATTENTION!!! Tonight is the night our series starts. It looks at our borders and their strength[s]. Will me and @natejones14 make it???“
They did. Kyle and his friend Nathan broke into the UK via a car. Kyle hid like a stowaway, and Nathan was the driver. There were only two episodes in this series.
Back on land, Kyle Dixon started a charter company, Meerkat Madness Charters, in 2021
After Smuggled, Kyle worked as a chef around England. But in 2021, Kyle took a chance and started his own company, Meerkat Madness Charters. In looking up the certificate of incorporation for this business, Kyle lists himself as the director of his private company. His main job listed for Meerkat Madness Charters states that he was acting as an engineer.
The Instagram account for Meerkat Madness Charters only contains one image, posted in 2021. They do not appear to have any tags from their guests, and they merely follow 21 people. Likewise, only 21 people follow Meerkat Madness Charters online.
Kyle had significant control of his business, according to the official documents recorded in the U.K. So, what gives? Sadly, according to the fillings listed on GOV.UK, Kyle dissolved Meerkat Madness Charters in 2023. The strike-off date came at the end of 2024.
Unfortunately, there are no other traces of Meerkat Madness Charters online. Therefore, it is hard to discern how well Kyle fared. But we are proud of him nonetheless, as it takes guts to birth a business from the ground up, and as the dates show, Kyle did more than create an outlet for his yachting pleasure. Meerkat Madness Charters was active for two years, after all.
After 2024, Kyle Dixon went dark, but we did find a new company on his resume in 2025
When Kyle appeared on Below Deck, this deckhand received mixed reactions from the viewers at home. His treatment of Sierra in Season 4 was awful. Likewise, in his shorter showings during Season 5, Jennifer Howell triggered him on a crew night out, and the fans equally hated his reactions to another woman who pleased him little.
Kyle had a crush on Jen at first. But after Jen reached across the table to try a taste of his dinner, his crush went straight to hell. With his hand on his chest and an appalled face that my mother-in-law would have approved of, Kyle stood up and excused himself from their table. Kyle and Jen had nothing but fair-weather interactions after this self-service dining experience on BD, so naturally, the fans started flocking to his socials.
Viewers doubled down on their disgust when Kyle got arrested in 2017 for allegedly robbing a bar. Nevertheless, Kyle kept his accounts active for several additional years. According to Sportskeeda, Kyle often posted images of his two daughters, Florence and Willow. He also posted shots of his dog, Luna, and throwback pictures from his time filming on Below Deck.
But in 2024, Kyle went dark.
Thanks to the same site that lists the now-defunct charter business, I learned that Kyle has a new enterprise underway in the UK. In January 2025, Kyle registered a corporation named Luna Security and Surveillance Services, LTD with the government. In the official documents online, Kyle lists himself as the director of this company.
Good luck with this new opportunity, Kyle!
Below Deck is streaming on Peacock.
