Kate Chastain’s onscreen rapport with Captain Lee Rosbach isn’t just for the cameras. And although they’re best friends now, their friendship apparently got off to a rocky start when Chastain joined Below Deck for Season 2. Chastain revealed on an episode of the Below Deck: After Show (via The Daily Dish), “My first season working for Captain Lee, we didn’t really get along.” She continued, “There was so much going on with the TV show that there wasn’t a lot of chance for us to interact. We were thrown into it.”
Since then, they’ve quickly become family. In fact, the pair has become so close that they regularly post photos of one another on social media. In one Instagram photo, Rosbach posed with Chastain and his wife, Mary Anne, and wrote, “How lucky can one guy get.”
While Below Deck Season 7 saw a lot of drama take place on the yacht, Captain Lee remained committed to his friendship with the inimitable chief stew. On another episode of the Below Deck: After Show (via People), Rosbach explained, “The thing with Kate and I is, she’s one of my best friends.” He continued, “She’s a really, really caring person.” At this point, Chastain is much more than one of the captain’s crew members, as Rosbach revealed, “I don’t look at Kate as an employee. We’re co-workers. She runs her department, and I run mine. She’s the best there is.”
