Gina’s bubbly personality and easy-going demeanor will ensure that our guests have a most memorable stay while on board Lady Joy. Vincent Vieira

Joined LADY JOY in December 2022 Christo grew up on the coast of Hermanus, South Africa. Surrounded by nature, with mountains and forest on one side and a rough and cold ocean on the other, he was captivated by the ocean and its many mysteries from a very young age. Whether it’s surfing, free diving or spear fishing, he has always enjoyed being in the water. After completing school, Christo began a one-year internship at Neptune’s Divers And Cruises. After completion, he obtained a permanent position as sole deckhand and dive master for four years before taking the position of Deck/Engineer. Christo is thrilled to share his love of the deep blue sea with all guests on board LADY JOY! Bradley Aleckson Bosun and Rescue Diver, Australia Joined LADY JOY in November 2019 Growing up on the pristine eastern coast of Australia shaped and developed Bradley’s love and respect for the ocean. He learned to swim before he could walk and engaged in a variety of water sports including surfing, wakeboarding, skateboarding, snowboarding and recently, kite boarding. Bradley graduated with high honors at Griffith University in 2016, obtaining a Bachelor of Commerce Degree with a triple major in finance, economics and financial planning and was awarded the University Student of the Year Award in 2016 for the Finance Industry in Australia. Realizing that the corporate world did not align with his adventurous leanings, Bradley decided to travel the world and began his career in yachting in 2018. As Bradley’s family ran a commercial fishing business operating a prawn trawler, he brings a wealth of fishing experience to LADY JOY. He is not only a certified rescue diver with extensive experience diving the Great Barrier Reef, but is a trained surf life saver as well. His extensive experience will ensure that he will always have his eyes open when assistance is required in or on the water. Bradley brings an array of skills and understanding to the LADY JOY team and looks forward to catering to her guests’ needs. Michael Kilanowicz
