Captain Lee Rosbach is set to exit Below Deck ahead of Season 11 with Below Deck Adventure’s Captain Kerry Titheradge stepping in, sources confirm EXCLUSIVELY with TV Deets.
According to our insiders, Captain Lee was told that he would not be asked back for Below Deck Season 11 a few months ago. The decision was not his, our sources say.
While the network is going with Below Deck Adventure’s Captain Kerry as a replacement, we are told that Bravo is looking to “freshen up” the series after ten seasons. Fraser Olender, who is currently appearing on Season 10 as a newly-minted Chief Stew, is set to return for Season 11 of Below Deck.
Captain Lee Rosbach has appeared on Below Deck since its first season back in 2013 and the franchise has since expanded to include Below Deck Mediterranean with Captain Sandy Yawn, Below Deck Sailing Yacht with Captain Glenn Shephard, Below Deck Down Under with Captain Jason Chambers, and the previously-mentioned Below Deck Adventure with Captain Kerry.
Bravo fanpage @bestofbravo was first to share a photo of Captain Kerry in Grenada, the rumoured filming location for Season 11.
This is not the first time a captain has switched shows with Bravo recently using Captain Sandy as a replacement for Captain Lee during the currently-airing Season 10 when he decided to take a step back during the middle of the season to take care of health issues. He is set to return and finish the season in the coming episodes.
Below Deck airs Mondays on Bravo.

Below Deck WILL not be Below Deck without Capt.Lee…Bad Move Bravo why “Freshen up” something that is working well?:
Looks like I will only be watching Sailing,Down Under & Aventure.
Will just see how the Ratings go after this decision
Captain Lee got too big for his britches. His ego was too much. He lost my respect talking against Sandy for not telling him she was firing Camille. He should have been grateful Sandy helped him out. He changed and not for the better.
We’ve been shorted on captain lee, give him the next season so we can say our goodbye, treat the man with some respect
