The story
SALT-SHARK’s Story
Over the years of renovating, enjoying and selling boats before, Taylor found a problem that needed to change. A change to the poor value he was seeing in the products available to clean his boat. So he did something about it. Working countless hours outside of his full-time job as a builder, he now can introduce Salt-Shark. The company that stands by its values over its profits!
Chief engineer from Below Deck and self made YouTube star Colin MacRae has now joint forces with young entrepreneur, Taylor Shields, to create a partnership that’s going to take the world by storm!
SALT-SHARK keeps it simple. By bringing you the most concentrated product on the market, we strive for INNOVATION. With the most washes per litre and lowest per-wash price in the market, we strive for QUALITY. Keeping our products non-watered down, quality-focused and backing every claim we make, we strive for INTEGRITY. Following these values, all of the products you see are Eco-Friendly, Biodegradable and Recyclable. This ensures we can uphold our mission of creating a better tomorrow.
What’s our why?
Our why is to keep solving the problem we found and allow customers around the globe to access our solution. Together we are going to take Salt-Shark from a small New Zealand business to the rest of the world! The marine maintenance industry hasn’t seen innovation for over 30 years. Salt-Shark has broken the drought and brought you a product that is averaging 10 times better value for money than all other brands.
WHO’S BEHIND IT ALL?
“We’re both boaties so we understand what’s really needed in the market!”
-Taylor Shields & Colin MacRae
Taylor grew up in New Zealand and from fishing to jumping off wharves with his family and friends, he grew a passion for the water at a very young age. Starting at the age of 15 whilst at Auckland Grammar School, he bought his first boat and got hooked. Years passed and 3 boat renovations later, he reached where he is today. During this same time, Taylor followed his passion for entrepreneurship and ran 2 businesses throughout school prior to founding Salt-Shark. Now, whilst enjoying the opportunities he has made for himself, he is dedicated to work towards giving back to the 2 people he loves the most, his parents!
“I couldn’t be more grateful, nor achieve what I have without the long hours fishing and learning from the man I call my hero, my Dad.”
Colin grew up in New Zealand but set sail after university to pursue a career at sea, starting in the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. This led into a career as Chief Engineer on superyachts, before buying a hurricane damaged catamaran of his own to sail around the world. Unbeknownst to him, this would be the building blocks of a career on youtube, but has vowed to never forget his Kiwi roots.
“20 years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do, than by the things you did. So what are you waiting for?”
