Longtime Below Deck star Captain Lee Rosbach opened up about his private health battle. He was absent for the first few episodes of the upcoming season. As TV Shows Ace previously reported, Lee shocked fans with his latest photo. He showed off his ripped and jacked physique.

The 72-year-old has been focusing on his health amid his health scare. A new report reveals why Lee may have been absent from the show. This comes after Lee dealt with two other setbacks in previous seasons while filming the Bravo series. Despite the ongoing issues, he’s not letting his health slow him done.

Captain Lee Rosbach shares a ripped photo

Earlier this month, the Below Deck fan-favorite shocked fans with his latest Instagram post. Captain Lee Rosbach proved that he’s still the stud of the sea even though fans think that honor should now go to Below Deck Down Under’s Captain Jason Chambers. On Thursday, April 7, Lee took to Instagram to share a photo of himself looking ripped on the ocean.

Lee posed shirtless after his snorkeling excursion. He only rocked a pair of swimming trunks. The captain was set on getting his dinner. Sometimes, Lee would rather hunt for his food. Check out the hot photo for yourself here.

“Time to hunt for dinner, fish or bugs, not picky,” the Below Deck captain wrote. “Love the water, on top or down below.”

Lee’s photo got major praise from Below Deck fans and cast members. He also got some love from his fellow Bravo celebrities and famous friends. Most would agree that Lee is still the stud of the sea. Others referred to him as “Boat Daddy,” which is the name Eddie Lucas uses in Season 9 of Below Deck.

Below Deck star’s private health struggles

Unfortunately, Lee had to take a step back from filming Season 10 of Below Deck. Last month, the show started production. It’s supposed to see the return of Captain Lee. But he suffered a health setback, in which Captain Sandy Yawn had to briefly step in.

According to Men’s Health, Lee spoke out about his private health battle. He revealed that he was dealing with a congenital heart condition, which interfered with the production schedule for the show’s ninth season.

“I have a condition that I was born with called AFib, and it’s when your heart will just randomly go into an irregular heartbeat,” Captain Lee said. “They hospitalized me, and they actually burn off parts of your heart that are trouble spots. They fixed it, and it’s amazing what they can do these days.”

However, it’s unclear whether Lee’s health setback had to do with his heart. More details will emerge in the coming months. Do you hope that Captain Lee returns for another season of Below Deck? Sound off below in the comment section.

Below Deck Season 10 has yet to be announced by Bravo.

  1. I will be praying for Captain Lee’s complete recovery and that he will be well enough soon to return to Below Deck.

  2. Captain Lee no matter what happens is the king of all Below Deck. No disrespect to all the other Captains of the franchise it’s just our loyalty (well me) will always be with Captain Lee and Maryanne. Stay safe, stay healthy and remember you are the the captain will never forget. ❤️❤️😞
