‘Below Deck’: When Does Captain Lee Rosbach Return?

Captain Lee Rosbach will be making his grand return to the My Seanna. Below Deck Season 9 premiered last week. Fans got a taste of Captain Sean Meagher. Some were annoyed, while others were creeped out by him. Others wanted to know when Captain Lee was going to come back.

Right now, it doesn’t look good. First officer Eddie Lucas received the news about Lee’s medical condition that caused a setback with the charter season. However, Lee could be returning to the boat sooner than fans think. Bravo teased Lee’s return in an exclusive sneak peek that is making the rounds.

Eddie Lucas wants his “boat daddy” back

Below Deck Season 9 went off with a hitch. First, Captain Lee Rosbach was not there to welcome the crew. He was replaced by Captain Sean Meagher. Eddie Lucas did not hold back on his feelings about Lee’s replacement. He called it “a s*** show.”

In the first episode, fans witnessed Captain Sean constantly hounding Eddie over the radio. At one point, Eddie exclaimed, “Come back to me, my boat daddy.” Clearly, he misses Captain Lee and so do Below Deck fans. They’re desperately awaiting his return.

Immediately, Eddie started butting heads with Captain Sean. He didn’t like the way that he micromanaged him. Even fans started to criticize Sean. They compared him to the likes of Captain Sandy Yawn.

Below Deck sneak peek — Captain Lee returns!

On Monday, November 1, Entertainment Tonight released the sneak peek for the next episode of Below Deck. Captain Lee Rosbach returns to take over his position from his replacement Captain Sean.

“Might be a little late, but I’m definitely back,” Captain Lee Rosbach says in the sneak peek. “I’d rather sandpaper a tiger’s a** in a phonebooth than miss a charter. That’s not gonna happen.”

He was held back by a medical condition. Lee just had to wait for his doctor’s OK to get back on the boat. Back in August, the Below Deck star told Entertainment Tonight that he was not happy to get his doctor’s orders. When Eddie first heard of the news, he had a “deer-in-the-headlight moment.”

When the first officer greets him back, he jokes, “First time on a boat?” Lee then greets Captain Sean, who shares his thoughts about the all-new crew. He exclaims that they’re “extremely” willing to learn with “great attitudes.”Lee then expresses his gratitude to his interim.

“I’m grateful that Sean helped us out, got us through the first day and a half of charter,” Lee says in his interview. “Now get off my boat.”

He is back with a new set of Lee-isms and funny sayings. He will also quickly learn how crazy this new crew is. Lee hinted that he may have to kick off even more charter guests in Season 9. Below Deck airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
