What a thrill. Trying to get back into life,” he wrote in the caption.

Sean Rosbach
While Lee’s kids may mostly keep to themselves, at least one has clearly been inspired by his dad to set sail on super yachts. His son Sean is reportedly a chef for a private yacht, per Express. While he may not captain a ship like his dad, he’s definitely captain of the kitchen.
Eric Rosbach

Josh Rosbach
Captain Lee’s family suffered a horrible tragedy on July 22, 2019. Lee’s youngest son Joshua died of an accidental overdose. He was just 42 years old. Lee revealed that he had found his son after his death in an emotional plea before Congress in October 2021, per People. He said that he went to Josh’s home after his son told him that he’d come over to help him on a Monday afternoon. He said that he went over and found his son slumped over on the couch, and when he went to wake him, he wouldn’t wake up. “”I remember every second of that day, like a horrific, devastating movie scene playing over and over in my head. Except it’s no movie, it’s my reality. The sight of my son on the sofa is the first image I see every day when I wake up, and it’s the last thing I picture every night before I fall asleep. This is how I’ve spent every night and every day for the last two years. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine finding someone you love more than your own life itself dead and cold on their couch?” he said.
When Josh died, Lee shared an emotional tribute to his son on his Instagram. Since his death, he got a tattoo of his son’s face right over his heart. “We loved Josh unconditionally and were proud of the man he had become in spite of his problems. There was no one i ever knew who gave more of himself to those in his life. He loved with all his being without expecting anything in return. We both feel a hole in our souls that will never be filled,” he wrote.
