'Below Deck Mediterranean' star Captain Sandy Yawn defended the boating industry after a climate group vandalized a yacht belonging to the Walmart heiress.

Capt. Sandy Yawn from 'Below Deck Mediterranean' joins 'Fox News Saturday Night' to discuss a yacht spray-painting incident and the philanthropic side of super yachts.on Saturday after footage of a climate change activist spray-painting a $300 million mega yacht emerged.

"There are 5,000 yachts roughly in the world. There are over 100,000 ships in the world. So, to target yachts, I don't think it's very fair to use paint on top of it to spray a boat. I don't think that's very environmentally friendly, too, you know," she said. Yawn, who previously ran a Sea Shepard vessel, also noted boats are necessary to save whales, conduct research and improve oceans.they actually put money back into research and science. And a lot of them have labs on their yachts," she said, asserting that the industry is full of"givers," not"takers."
