Salt Life originated as a decal brand in Jacksonville, Florida in 2003. Twenty years and millions of satisfied customers later, the brand is more than just a logo; it represents a passion for the ocean, the salt air, and most importantly, a way of life.

Salt Life embraces everyone who shares a passion for the ocean lifestyle. Whether you’re a fan of fishing, diving, surfing, or simply relaxing on the beach, Salt Life has the gear to help you make the most of adventures on and around the water. The brand is loved by professional fishermen and women, full-time watersports athletes, and everyday beachcombers alike.

Salt Life’s website, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube serve as a one-stop shop for saltwater inspiration of all kinds—from how-to videos demonstrating the best way to clean your catch to tropical destination travel guides. In addition to knowledgeable beach tips and travel advice, the brand also helps its audience experience the salty way of life like a pro through its Charter Captain, Surf Instructor, and Dive Instructor Directories. These interactive maps allow consumers to plan their dream day on the water fishing, surfing, or diving with brand-verified guides.

In 2021, Salt Life launched the Above and Below podcast to take a deeper dive into their favorite ocean-centric activities. Hosted by Salt Life team member and professional surfer, Kieran Anderson, the weekly podcast explores different aspects of the Salt Life with an expert on the subject. Whether Kieran and guests are discussing the best places to catch a gnarly wave, what type of equipment to use to target big fish, or best practices for diving into crystal clear waters with a speargun, listeners can expect entertainment and education with each episode.

Born in California, raised in Florida, it’s safe to say freediver and spearfisherwoman Stacey Baker was born into the Salt Life. Stacey grew up learning the traditional Filipino ways of preparing fish from her mother; whose favorite meals have always been from the sea. Stacey attributes her ocean obsession to her upbringing, but says it shifted into overdrive when she met her husband – fittingly, on the beach. Being the waterman he is, their first dates started with him teaching her to surf and spearfish, rocketing her ocean addiction to the next dimension. Stacey currently holds the women’s IUSA world record for gag grouper at 13.5lbs.
