Lee Rosbach

The lowdown

The 'Stud of the Sea' steered Valor through the Virgin Islands and St. Maarten, then took the show to Tahiti on My Seanna. Across these three seasons he handed out plane tickets to Trevor, Chris Brown and Chandler, promoted Nico twice (and later said he regretted it), and was left shaken by Ashton's man-overboard scare.

📍 Where are they now?

The Stud of the Sea left the wheelhouse after Season 10, but he's still on TV: he hosts Oxygen's true-crime series Deadly Waters with Captain Lee and co-hosted Bravo's Couch Talk with Kate Chastain. In August 2025 he teased fans on X that he had "a surprise upcoming," and he still calls wife Mary Anne his bride.
