Salty Soul Charters operates out of Key West, Florida, offering guided boat experiences that showcase the area's shallow-water sandbars, reefs, and marine life. The company runs two main trips: the Shared Sandbar Charter, a social, weather- and tide-guided outing focused on relaxation and meeting new people on Key West sandbars; and the 3 Hour Express Tour, a customizable short adventure that can include snorkeling at coral reefs, dolphin spotting, or an ecotour, and is dog-friendly.
Experienced captains guide each trip, selecting routes and timings based on local weather and tidal conditions to create a safe, enjoyable outing. On the Shared Sandbar Charter, the captain adapts the itinerary to tides and conditions so guests can enjoy the best sandbar access available that day. The 3 Hour Express Tour offers flexibility, with options for snorkeling, wildlife viewing, or a focused ecotour tailored to guest interests.
Bookings emphasize casual, social experiences; guests are encouraged to arrive prepared to relax and socialize. The business highlights a laid-back approach—bring good vibes and a readiness to enjoy Key West waters. As a locally based operation featured on The Adventure Collective, Salty Soul Charters connects visitors with the natural coastal environment around Key West through guided outings led by professional captains. Safety is managed through local knowledge of weather and tides, and trips are designed to suit different interests, from reef snorkeling to dolphin viewing to sandbar gatherings.
For safety and comfort, passengers typically bring sun protection, swimwear, a camera, and small personal items like a towel.
