Angela “Nikkai”

Born and raised on the sun-kissed shores of South Florida, Nikkai Salty is more than just the daughter of the legendary Captain Mario "OG Salty" Galup—she’s the spirited force behind the success of Salty Family Charters. From the moment she could walk, Nikki was chasing seagulls on the sandy beaches, her eyes always on the horizon, as if she knew her destiny was tied to the sea.

Nikkai’s story begins not with a grand voyage like her father’s, but with a mystical encounter on her first solo swim at the age of five. Legend has it that as she waded into the shallow waters of Key Largo, the sea itself recognized her as the heir to Captain Salty’s legacy. A playful school of dolphins appeared, surrounding her and guiding her to an underwater grotto where the ocean’s secrets were whispered to her in the language of the waves.

As she grew, Nikkai developed an uncanny ability to communicate with sea creatures—a gift passed down from her father’s mythical adventure. By age 10, she was already known among the local fishermen as the "Mermaid Whisperer," able to call fish to the surface with a simple tune or a flick of her wrist. While other kids her age were playing video games, Nikkai was learning the art of navigation, charting her own courses across the Florida coast with a map that seemed to magically fill in with hidden coves and secret snorkeling spots.

But it wasn’t just her connection to the ocean that made Nikkai special; it was her natural charisma and storytelling flair that captured the hearts of everyone she met. With her father’s tales of adventure and her own growing collection of sea-born stories, she became the face of Salty Family Charters, bringing in visitors from all over the world eager to hear the next chapter in the Salty saga.

Now, as the Director of Sales and Marketing for Salty Family Charters, Nikkai combines her deep-rooted love for the ocean with her talent for making every guest feel like part of the family. She’s the one who ensures that each trip is more than just a snorkeling adventure—it’s a journey into the world of Captain Salty, filled with wonder, laughter, and maybe even a little magic.

So, when you book a charter with Salty Family Charters, know that you’re in the hands of someone who not only knows the sea but was practically born from it. With Nikkai Salty at the helm of your experience, you're not just exploring the Florida waters—you’re becoming part of a living legend.
