Owner Operator/Skipper:    Bruce Hartley Master class V, MED 2, PADI Dive Master

After owning and operating a highly successful motorcycle dealership in Perth for many years and finally selling it in 2005, Bruce moved on to pursuing his life long passion for the ocean and it's inhabitants by purchasing a vessel in Noosa and exploring the Great barrier Reef and remote locations as far north as the Torres Straight. After  some time and many memorable experiences he was inspired to take his dream further by moving his interests to the Kimberley and the long time running operation of Unreel Adventure Safaris. With a solid understanding of the importance of great customer service, Bruce aspires to expanding and developing this already successful company.

Cook/Admin: Stephanie Kelly

Passionate about her food and life in general, Stephanie was born in England and grew up in Sydney.  She soon developed a taste for travel and began her adventures traveling up and down the east coast of Australia before settling in Darwin for eight years.  Perth managed to draw her away from Darwin where she settled in to an administrative role and caring for the elderly.  Adventure and the seduction of the Kimberley region proved too hard to resist. We are pleased to have her preparing and serving delicious meals and helping to make our boat a comfortable home for you.
