'Stud of the Sea': Former 'Below Deck' star Captain Lee Rosbach visits Daytona Bike Week
The 'Stud of the Sea' was in Daytona Beach.
The former star of Bravo's reality TV series 'Below Deck,' Captain Lee Rosbach is stepping off his mega yacht and jumping on his bike to enjoy the last few days of Bike Week.
In a video posted on Instagram Wednesday, Rosbach stood next to his white Can-Am Spyder bike to tease his trip to Volusia County.
'We're loaded up, got the bike on the trailer, hooked up to the motorhome,' Rosbach said in the video. 'Daytona Bike Week here we come — you ain't ready for us. We're going to have a good time.'
But in another post early Friday, Rosbach shared a screenshot of Daytona's 39-degree morning weather hinting he might be leaving town.

'Anyone who knows me, knows I don't do cold,' Rosbach wrote. 'It's a great thing my Spyder has heated everything. Headed south today where the weather suits my clothing.'
Rosbach, 75, has been a yacht captain for more than three decades, according to his profile page on Bravo's website.
Born and raised in Saginaw, Michigan, he had never even seen the ocean 'until moving to Turks & Caicos with his bride, Mary Anne, to run a restaurant in his mid-30s.'
'In need of cash, he responded to an ad he saw seeking a mate for a delivery on a sailboat — no experience necessary,' the website says. 'At 35, Lee obtained his captain's license and left the restaurant business behind to pursue his newfound passion.'
Rosbach starred in 10 seasons of 'Below Deck,' where the Stud of the Sea, as he is known, ran the ship "with a no-nonsense attitude and salty one-liners,' Bravo's website says.
In 2018, Rosbach released a memoir titled 'Running Against the Tide: True Tales from the Stud of the Sea,' recounting his life experiences as mega yacht captain.
Bravo's reality TV show 'Below Deck' first aired in July 2013. It follows the day-to-day life of a mega yacht crew as they take passengers on charters around the world.
'A young and single crew lives, loves and works aboard a luxurious yacht, meeting the ever-changing needs of demanding clients while visiting some of the world's most beautiful destinations,' read the show's synopsis on Peacock, where it's available to stream.
'Below Deck' has also spawned spin-off versions, including 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht,' 'Below Deck Down Under,' 'Below Deck Mediterranean' and more.

The "My Heart Will Go On" singer, 57, attended Coldplay's show at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium on Saturday, June 7. According to a video shared on social media, Dion was shown on screen during the concert, and she looked emotional as she received loud cheers from the crowd.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, symptoms of stiff-person syndrome include muscle stiffness or rigidity and painful muscle spasms. Speaking to NBC News, Dion said that stiff-person syndrome feels "like somebody is strangling you." She also shared that her muscle spasms can cause serious injuries, noting, "I have broken ribs at one point because sometimes when it's very severe, it can break some ribs as well." In 2024, Dion premiered the revealing documentary "I Am: Celine Dion," which chronicled her health struggles.

Justin Baldoni's Podcast Host Reacts To Blake Lively Suit
Justin Baldoni's Man Enough podcast co-host Liz Plank reacted to his lawsuit against Blake Lively being dismissed. The podcast, which "explores what it means to be a man today," began in 2021, with its most recent episode posted in October of last year. The name echoes Justin's book and viral 2017 TED Talk, "Why I'm done trying to be 'man enough.'" When Blake Lively's allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation against Justin became public that December, Liz issued a statement stepping away from the podcast, adding, "Thank you for being here, for trusting me, and for being by my side for the last four years. We all deserve better, and I know that together, we can create it. I will have more to share soon as I continue to process everything that has happened. In the meantime, I will continue to support everyone who calls out injustice and holds the people standing in their way accountable." Yesterday, a judge dismissed Justin's countersuit against Blake, which notably included claims of defamation. Shortly beforehand, Liz had asked people on Instagram to "send us your boy problems" for an upcoming episode of her new podcast, Boy Problems. In response to the lawsuit being dismissed, Justin's lawyer said, "Ms. Lively's own claims are no truer today than they were yesterday, and with the facts on our side, we march forward with the same confidence that we had when Ms. Lively and her cohorts initiated this battle." Liz then "liked" a comment that read, "I just saw the funniest boy problem get dismissed by a federal judge in New York lol." And added a "lmfaooo," just in case her thoughts weren't clear: Cue all the unhinged Baldoni stan comments: I'm sure none of those comments will end up here!
