In an unexpected turn of events, Captain Lee Rosbach found himself thrust into the limelight as a reality star on the hit show “Below Deck.” However, his journey on the show has been far from smooth sailing, as the 73-year-old captain has been battling with his health. Despite his determination to continue, it was recently announced that Captain Lee’s time on “Below Deck” has come to an end.
Captain Lee initially never intended to become a reality star. The role of captain was originally meant for Aleks Taldykin, but circumstances led to Captain Lee taking on the position. “For one reason or another, it ended up being me. But I didn’t audition,” he revealed. Little did he know that this unplanned turn of events would lead to a captivating television career.
Fans of the show have witnessed Captain Lee’s struggles with his health, which ultimately forced him to take a temporary exit during Season 10. E! News reported that the undisclosed medical issue made it difficult for him to walk, prompting him to seek treatment in the United States. “I made a lot of improvement. I was spending every day in physical therapy. And it was tough,” Captain Lee shared upon his return. Despite the challenges, he was determined to continue working, as doctors assured him that he wouldn’t further harm himself.
However, in a disappointing announcement made in February, it was revealed that Captain Lee’s time on “Below Deck” had come to an end. Sources revealed that he had been replaced by Captain Kerry Titheradge for Season 11, which was filmed in the tropical paradise of Grenada. Captain Kerry had previously captained the sister show, “Below Deck Adventure.” With 30 years of experience on the high seas, sailing around the world, and owning his own boat service, Yachting Concepts, Captain Kerry brings a wealth of expertise to the show.
