OUR JOURNEY
It’s been an adventure…. and she has never been happier, nor has she ever looked better! The Royal Princess Yacht is almost ready to SET SAIL!
The Love Story of Capt. Rob and Lezlee
Their story began, fittingly, on the water; where adventure meets serenity, and dreams find their rhythm in the tide. Captain Rob Bellanich, a hands-on mariner with deep mechanical know-how and a sharp eye for design, met Lezlee Peterzell-Bellanich, a vibrant extrovert with an ear for people and a voice that loves to sing; both literally and figuratively.
Where Rob is the anchor, steady, skilled, and always in tune with the vessel; Lezlee is the energy, welcoming guests with warmth, laughter, and unforgettable melodies. Together, they built more than a business; they created a floating dream in New York Harbor, where the Royal Princess Yacht became home to countless celebrations and cherished moments.
Their children, River and Skye, grew up watching the magic unfold; learning the ropes (sometimes literally) and soaking in the spirit of hospitality, hard work, and heart. Now, as young adults, River and Skye are proud to be part of the next chapter, helping to renovate and reimagine the Royal Princess Yacht, blending family legacy with a new wave of creativity and purpose.
The family originally came to Jacksonville when Rob was placed on the liver transplant list due to a rare autoimmune disease called PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis). On September 10, 2020, he received a successful liver transplant at Mayo Clinic. That life-changing event not only gave Rob a second chance but also inspired the family to breathe new life into downtown Jacksonville, bringing the Royal Princess to the St. Johns River, where she now sails again with renewed purpose.
Every cruise is a reflection of their shared story; love, resilience, family, and the belief that life’s best memories are made on the water.
Unmatched Service. Unforgettable Moments.
