The Below Deck season 3 cast consisted of several people still in the yachting industry and some who have left. Season 3 aired in 2015 and was one of the most infamous seasons from the Bravo series. The season took place on the yacht Eros in The Bahamas and included some iconic Below Deck moments, such as Eddie’s boatmance with Rocky and the return of Chef Ben.
Since Below Deck season 3, the series has aired another seven seasons, including just as many hookups and drama among the crew members. While many cast members only lasted a season or two, some remained cornerstones of the show for years. However, the cast and events that took place during season 3 are still talked about. So, where is the cast of Below Deck season 3 now?
Captain Lee Rosbach
Captain Lee remains the only original and longest-running cast member on Below Deck. He works as a yacht captain and was most recently featured in season 10, but he had to leave due to health issues. After a couple of months, he returned to relieve interim Captain Sandy Yawn from her duties.
Leon Walker
Leon Walker was the initial Below Deck season 3 chef onboard Eros, known for his terrible treatment of the chief stew, Kate Chastain. He was later fired for how he treated the crew and for causing a fire in the galley due to his dirty stove. Leon is still working as a chef and was rumored to join the spin-off Below Deck Down Under in Australia, but this never came to fruition.
Ben Robinson
Chef Ben returned to Below Deck season 4 as the yacht chef. He also appeared in Below Deck Mediterranean season 1 alongside Hannah Ferrier. Ben now lives in Fort Lauderdale with his fiancée, Kiara Cabral, and works as a private chef. He remains one of the most popular former cast members on Below Deck and often appears on Galley Talk alongside Kate Chastain.
Kate Chastain
Despite many years as an integral cast member, Kate left the yachting industry behind after a tumultuous Below Deck season 7. She went on to be one of the co-hosts and producers of Bravos Chatroom but left after less than a year. Kate still keeps up with the Below Deck franchise and is very outspoken about her thoughts on the show. She gave birth to a baby boy, Sullivan Cay, in May 2023. Some are convinced the baby’s father is Chef Ben, but both have refuted this rumor, and Kate has kept the baby daddy’s identity secret.
Amy Johnson
Second stew Amy Johnson left Below Deck after season 3 but continued to work in the yachting industry. However, she officially left yachting after she got engaged to her long-time boyfriend, Ellis, in July 2020. The couple tied the knot in October 2020, and her brother Kelley Johnson helped with the photography.
Raquel “Rocky” Dakota
After Rocky Dakota left Below Deck, she continued to work a few stew jobs here and there. In December 2016, she moved to Hawaii and now works as a surfer and competitive national diver. The former stew is also in a relationship with a man named Mark, and they have been together for over four years. Unfortunately, Rocky did go through some hardships, as she lost her younger sister, Sophia, in 2017 in a car accident.
Eddie Lucas
Eddie Lucas returned to Below Deck season 8 as the bosun following his last stint on the show during season 3. The reality star not only works as a bosun but also works in Maryland at the Moran Towing Corporation, where he docks all the ships that come into the port. He’s also involved in Rhythm & Sails as a captain.
Connie Arias
When Connie first joined the show for season 3, she was a green deckhand. She continues to work in the yachting industry and even owns her own boat management company in Melbourne, Florida (via BravoTV). Connie got engaged after Below Deck and wanted Captain Lee to officiate the wedding, but it’s unclear if she and fiancé Scott have tied the knot or broken up.
Emile Kotze
After Emile Kotze’s time on Below Deck, he moved back to South Africa. The former yachtie bills himself as an entrepreneur and works with travel agency TRN Global. A devoted yogi, he also revealed in July 2020 that he was four years sober and hasn’t touched any alcohol or drugs since.
