About Salty Soul Charters
Our Salty Souls
Salty Soul Charters began with a simple vision, we wanted a chance to share the best part of Key West with you in the most kind, fun and safe way possible. Our team is made of a group of captains that are dedicated to maintaining our original mission. We pay attention to small details, have updated equipment and our boats are always clean and maintained.
Our Salty Crew
Captain Jane
Captain Jane is the founder of Salty Soul Charters. Her goal was simple: create a personalized boating experience that EVERYONE can enjoy.
Want to snorkel a shipwreck? Learn about the eco system? Dolphin watch? Catch dinner? Or just cruise and chat? Jane is up for anything.
Whether she’s driving large ferries in Alaska or navigating the back country waters of Key West, Jane is just happy to be on the water and meeting new people from all over the world.
Ask her about her road trip from Key West to Skagway, Alaska with her dog, Emma; Or the time she backpacked around Southeast Asia solo!
Jane’s lighthearted and kind, mid-western spirit, combined with her focus on safety will surely make this the highlight of your vacation. Dog lover? Feel free to invite First Mates, Sunny or Arlo!
Captain Nate
Captain Nate first discovered the Florida Keys in his mid-twenties and has lived here for 8 years. Over the course of these years, he has captained everything from large sail boats to smaller fishing vessels.
Nate navigates the shallow waterways confidently and is ready to share his wealth of knowledge with you! It’s simple, he loves being out on the water, that’s why he lives here and is ready to share his passion with you.
In Nate’s spare time he loves to spearfish, wake board, sail, cook his fresh catch, and is a complete bird nerd!
All guests love their time spent with Captain Nate and enjoy his dedication to fishing, easy going personality, and sense of humor.
Captain Jason
Captain Jason ~ A.K.A. “Aqua Daddy” ~ is a very popular addition to the Salty Soul Charters team! He captains several vessels in Key West and also has experience captaining in Lake Tahoe, California.
Jason has a real passion for the outdoors, and it really shows in his knowledge about the flora and fauna down here in the Florida Keys.
No matter where you’re from, there’s a good chance Jason has been there! Ask him about the years spent riding a bicycle around the world; Or when he hiked the entire Appalachian Trail; Or maybe about his most recent venture, canoeing 4000 miles from Montana to New Orleans with his dog, Bear.
Captain Jason is friendly and laid back with plenty of tales to tell!
First Mate ~ Sunny
Sunny is a true Island Dog, originally from the streets of South Andros, Bahamas! His enthusiasm for life is contagious and very entertaining.
Sunny loves to leap around the sandbar chasing fish, despite never having caught one before! He comes running when he hears the sound of drag on your fishing pole, and he's been known to sneak attack several kisses.
Be ready for some free entertainment if you invite Sunny along on your charter!
Second Mate ~ Arlo
Alro is the most laid-back Mate and he is a Key West Native!
He takes his lifeguarding duties very seriously, and he will cuddle with anyone who lets him! To Sunny’s dismay, he caught a fish on his first day at the sandbar.
He would love to be invited along to share his love of all humans with you!
