Are Captain Lee And Kate Chastain Still Friends?

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Kate Chastain admitted that she was growing tired of the yachtie lifestyle while speaking to ET in 2017. "I'm phasing it out. I mean, I've got a dog now ... it was so exciting for me to travel. But now what's exciting for me is, like, potted plants. And throw pillows," she said. But she didn't lose her relationship with Captain Lee Rosbach when she lost her sea legs.

In August 2021, the landlubber's former boss took to Instagram to reveal that he and Chastain had reunited. Rosbach posted a picture of himself, his wife Mary Anne, and Chastain sharing a laugh during a night out in Florida. In his caption, the captain said that the group had enjoyed dinner together at Eddie V's restaurant. He described Chastain as "one of our very best friends," adding, "Times like these should never be wasted."

Rosbach's bond with Chastain was so strong during their "Below Deck" days that he openly admitted to showing favoritism toward his chief stew. "Kate deserves preferential treatment because she's earned it. It's simple," he said on the Season 7 "Below Deck After Show." He made Chastain tear up while praising her for being such a great friend, and he opened up about how she was there for him when he lost his son to an accidental overdose in 2019. At the time, Chastain told People, "I speak to Captain Lee probably once a week at least."
