Salty Monkey’s started as a group of friends, uploading their boating and spearfishing adventures to social media platforms and has evolved into a 100% First Nations-owned and operated business committed to ethical manufacturing and cultural preservation. Salty Monkey’s is a solution driven business. They identify problems and look to find solutions by developing opportunities, activities and training that give back to the remote Torres Strait community.
This philosophy has led them to innovate and develop products and goods. Apart from their adventure apparel they have developed the Eco FinZ that repurposes plastics in an innovative manufacturing process, reducing waste and creating a high-performance product. To further support First Nations artists and generate local employment they are developing dry bags and wet suits that are a blend of functionality and culture. Product affordability and value is highly important to Salty Monkey and they ensure their products are at a competitive price point. Their business model includes mentoring, education and environment as key services.
