Everyone’s favorite Boat Daddy, Captain Lee Rosbach, is back on our screens, but instead of driving mega yachts on reality TV series Below Deck, he’s here to give the audience a tour of exotic locales—and deadly accidents that happened there on the high seas.
Lee introduces us to the stories of various ill-fated seamen and women, and his storytelling along with interviews with those close to the travelers or involved in the rescue missions tell episode-long tales of harrowing disasters. From a ghost ship 140 miles off course and missing passengers, to bodies found in watery graves, these grisly tales will make you think twice before buying that boat you’ve always dreamed of.
Lee has spent his life on the ocean, and his knowledge of exotic locations and the dangers their waters present help to find answers to some of these very mysterious circumstances. If any Below Deck fans need a good dose of everyone’s favorite captain now that he is no longer on the main show, Deadly Waters with Captain Lee is a fun watch—especially for fans of shows like Unsolved Mysteries and I Survived. (eight 43-min. episodes)
