Where Is Eddie From Below Deck Now? Captain Eddie Lucas

Eddie Lucas from Below Deck is now a working tugboat captain. In December 2022 he announced he had moved up from first mate, telling fans “I’m the captain now” and that he was “now captain of a harbor tug in Baltimore Harbor,” as Bravo reported. Today he commands the Lynne Moran, guiding ships through Baltimore Harbor, and he has launched Splash City Golf. He told me all about it on Voices of Luxury.

In this episode of Voices of Luxury, host JQ Louise is joined by someone who knows the difference between reality TV and reality at sea: Captain Eddie Lucas.

Long before he was a familiar face on Below Deck, Eddie was a working mariner. And today, long after the cameras have stopped rolling, he’s back where he feels most grounded—commanding the Lynne Moran, a powerful tugboat guiding ships through Baltimore Harbor.

Where is Eddie Lucas now?

Today, Eddie Lucas is captain of the Lynne Moran, a harbor tugboat guiding ships in and out of Baltimore Harbor. After becoming one of the most recognizable faces on Bravo’s Below Deck, he stepped away from yachting on camera and went back to the commercial maritime work he started in—not for the spotlight, but for the stability and real responsibility of running a working vessel. He has also launched Splash City Golf, a sustainability-driven golf brand.

I proudly salute you.” In a follow-up interview with Bravo, Eddie explained that the Lynne Moran is one of three tugs doing ship-assist work in Baltimore, that the tugs are crewed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that he works a two-weeks-on, two-weeks-off rotation.
