Mar. 15, 2025

Sig Hansen is soaking up time with his new granddaughter.

In an exclusive clip from Tuesday’s episode ofDeadliest Catch, the Hansen family gets a little bit bigger as Captain Sig meets his granddaughter, Sailor Marie.

“This is another part of our legacy,” he says to his family.

Looking at the camera, Sig acknowledges, “There was a lot of sacrifices made this year.”

“Reality is, it won’t be too much longer until we’re back out at sea,” he continues. “It’s moments like this that does make it harder to go back up there and go fishing but that’s all we do. That’s all we know how to do, and that’s the way it is.”

“Crab fishing,” she responds with a laugh.

“Bringing a child into this world is the most incredible feeling,” Mandy said at the time.

Mandy also shared how she decided on Sailor’s moniker. “We wanted something that reflects our family’s Scandinavian heritage as well as our lifestyle and profession. With my husband and I both working on the Bering Sea of Alaska as commercial crab fishermen, naming our daughter Sailor Marie is a perfect fit.”
