Veteran Mega Yacht Captain & Maritime Leadership Expert; Star of Bravo's "Below Deck"; Author of "Running Against the Tide"
Lee Rosbach Biography
Captain Lee Rosbach is recognized as one of television's most prominent maritime figures, known for his extensive experience and leadership on Bravo's reality series "Below Deck." Rosbach has spent more than three decades working as a mega yacht captain, commanding over a dozen superyachts throughout his career in the yachting industry. His entry into maritime work was unconventional; after responding to an advertisement seeking a mate for a sailboat delivery, he obtained his captain's license at age 35 and transitioned from the restaurant business to a career at sea. Training to become a captain required two years at sea before he could sit for his first exam, after which he worked on sailboats and sport fishing boats before advancing to yachts.
Rosbach made his television debut on "Below Deck," a reality show that follows the lives of crew members working aboard a superyacht during charter season. He appeared in 10 of the 11 seasons of the original series, becoming a well-known reality TV personality for his leadership style, commitment to maritime safety, and ability to manage crew dynamics. The Emmy-nominated Bravo series contributed to his recognition in the maritime and entertainment industries.
In addition to his television work, Rosbach is the author of the memoir "Running Against the Tide," which details his journey from Saginaw, Michigan, to a career as a superyacht captain. He also hosts the podcast "Salty with Captain Lee" on PodcastOne Network, where he discusses topics related to leadership, resilience, and the maritime industry.
After his time on "Below Deck," Rosbach expanded his television presence as the host of the true crime series "Deadly Waters with Captain Lee" on Oxygen, focusing on crimes committed on the water, including incidents involving vacationers and maritime piracy. Throughout his career, Rosbach has supported philanthropic initiatives, including the annual Captain's Crew Fundraiser for the Children's Diagnostic and Treatment Center and involvement with the Marine Industry Cares Foundation. He has also spoken publicly about his intention to start a rehab facility at sea, Healing Waters, following the loss of his son to addiction. Rosbach's career reflects a commitment to the yachting industry, maritime safety, and advocacy for addiction recovery.
