Below Deck detective - CAPTAIN LEE'S SEA CHANGE

The superyacht hero's family tragedy has led him to navigate scary waters

- Hayley McLarin

The partner of a builder is often the last one to get a new bathroom, a mechanic doesn't want to come home and do maintenance on the family car, a chef would rather get takeaways after they have been cooking all day...

Not so for Captain Lee Rosbach. As the star of Below Deck for 10 years, he has been at the helm of some of the world's most luxurious superyachts, but when he's off duty, he still jumps at the chance to be back out on the water.

"I wasn't a captain until I was 40 years old," the man dubbed "Stud of the Sea" says. "I absolutely love it."

He may not have found a career on the water until he was 35, but Captain Lee has seen his fair share of troubled waters. So he's the perfect host for the new true-crime series Deadly Waters with Captain Lee, investigating crimes at sea - from the man who claimed his wife was washed overboard by a rogue wave, to the abandoned charter boat in the Bahamas and alleged pirates in the Caribbean.

As the person responsible for his guests, crew and mega-yachts, Captain Lee has always had immense respect for the ocean and tries to keep all aboard safe.

"Mother Nature is very unforgiving when she wants to be," says the 74-year-old, his trademark white uniform replaced by a sombre black ensemble.
