Bookings Manager Steph

Hailing from Germany with a heart full of wanderlust, Steph swapped forests for the open sea in search of sun, salt, and adventure. A seasoned wilderness guide, she’s spent years leading teenagers and adults on epic bush expeditions—teaching survival skills, building confidence, and unlocking the wild within.
Now, she’s bringing that same spirit of exploration to the ocean as one of our leading deckhands. With two Coral Sea expeditions under her belt, Steph has quickly proven herself as a fearless freediver, a passionate explorer, and an unstoppable bundle of marine enthusiasm.

Whether she’s scanning the horizon, hauling lines, or slipping beneath the waves to greet a sea turtle or reef shark, Steph does it all with infectious energy and an endless sense of wonder. Her deep love for the ocean is undeniable—and when the whales arrive, you’ll hear the joy in her voice before you even see the splash. Her beaming smile and uncontainable excitement are enough to warm even the chilliest winter’s day.

Steph is more than a deckhand—she’s a connector, a motivator, and a reminder of why we fall in love with nature in the first place.

Captain Dean CROPP | BAREFOOT CHARTERS
BAREFOOT CHARTERS FOUNDER

Captain Dean Cropp

Captain Dean Cropp, founder of Barefoot Charters, is a true ocean adventurer with a lifelong connection to the sea. Born into a maritime legacy as the son of renowned explorer and documentary filmmaker Ben Cropp, Dean grew up diving shipwrecks, exploring remote reefs, and learning the rhythms of the ocean from an early age. Today, he leads Barefoot Charters with decades of experience as a commercial diver, sailor, underwater cinematographer, and storyteller — bringing a depth of knowledge that makes every charter feel both safe and unforgettable.

Beyond running Barefoot Charters, Dean is known for his passion for exploration, filmmaking, and marine conservation. His work has taken him across Australia and the Pacific, developing custom underwater camera systems and filming wildlife in some of the world’s most remote waters. Guests who step aboard one of his vessels experience his warm, easygoing leadership style, along with his natural gift for sharing the magic of the ocean. Every charter reflects Dean’s belief that the sea is not just a place to visit — but a world to connect with.
