Even though Below Deck is approaching its fifth season, it feels like a different show every season because the cast is constantly changing. Captain Lee Rosbach has been around since the very beginning, but the only returning cast members from last year are Kate Chastain and Nico Scholly.
Not only are the remaining six cast members new to the show, but apparently a lot of them are new to the yachting industry, which is bound to make for some interesting television and (unfortunately) some frustrating times for Captain Lee.
Captain Lee discussed the upcoming season in an interview with Sun Sentinel. It’s very clear that the Captain has not let the reality TV success and notoriety get to his head. He explained, “I run my boat in the private sector the same way I run the boat for TV.” He added, “The same things that piss me off on TV are the same things that get under my skin when I am working for a private owner.”
Even though the Captain doesn’t let the Below Deck success go to his head, he does enjoy it since he admitted, “I am really excited to have been on that long. I just love it. I am just having a ball with this thing.” Me too, Captain.
Of course there’s some issues helping the new crew members acclimate to the yacht life. The captain revealed, “Trying to keep the charter guests happy and the crew motivated and teach them all on the fly presented a totally unique set of problems that we had to deal with. And some of it was really funny and really hilarious, and some [of it] not so much.” Poor Captain.
He didn’t share many specific details, but he did tease, “It’s going to be a roller coaster ride this year. Not that it hasn’t been in years past.”
