water evaporates at all temperatures, whenever some molecules get the minimum kinetic energy to escape the intermolecular attractions. salty water boils at a higher temp, as the salt ions make for added attractions between the water and the ions. this attraction must be overcome to boil, in addition to overcoming the regular intermolecular attractions, and the air pressure pushing down on the water surface.
