Below Deckis back this October for its ninth season — but wait, where’s Captain Lee Rosbach?
“I have a condition,” he can be heard telling first officer Eddie Lucas when the clip begins. “The whole boat is your ballgame now.”
“F— my life,” Lucas responds.
In Lee’s place, a new captain — Captain Sean Meagher — steps in to oversee the superyacht “My Seanna” as it navigates the stunning waters of St. Kitts in the Caribbean.

Save for Lucas and chef Rachel Hargrove, Meagher’s got a fresh crop of yachties to manage, including new chief stewardess Heather Chase, stews Jessica Albert and Fraser Olender and deckhands Jake Foulger, Rayna Lindsay and Wes O’Dell.
“We’re leaving the dock with a new captain and new crew,” Lucas says. “Tensions are high.”
Part of those tensions are between Lucas and Hargrove, who have leftover ill feelings from last season. “Alarming things were said on your behalf, viciously attacking my integrity and character,” Hargrove tells Lucas at one point during a heated sit-down between the two.
“Come back to me, Captain Lee. Come back to me, my boat daddy,” Lucas joking pleads in the trailer.

Lucky for Lucas — andBelow Deckfans — Lee does return this season. “Might be a little late, but I’m definitely back,” he says in the clip.
With him, he brings his beloved no-nonsense attitude, hilarious quips and stack of pink slips.
