This is a list of a few resources to help those interested in mermaiding. Whether you are a seasoned performer or just want to mermaid recreationally, there is something here to suit everyone.
The Mertailor
The Mertailor, by Eric Ducharme, is the company I chose to buy my first mermaid tail from years ago! Whether you want a simple monofin, or a custom-made mermaid tail designed to withstand performances, the Mertailor has your needs covered. There are men’s, women’s, and children’s collections featured on the site. There are options for people on a tighter budget and those looking to splurge!
A super fun shop with mermaid tails from monofins to custom builds, clothes, and accessories for all ages. One of their most attractive features is that the “flukes” on their mermaid tails are huge!
A school, available online or in person, for aspiring mermaids. Learn how to swim with a mermaid tail, market your mermaid business, or buy one of the beautiful tail creations the site has to offer! You can also visit their youtube channel for valuable mermaiding information.
A great company for someone looking for a silicone tail with a “flare.” You can buy custom tails or choose something from one of their signature lines. I love the tail shape varieties they host, such as the “Delta” fluke, a prehistoric-inspired creation.
This company cuts no corners where hyper-realism is concerned. The thing I like most about MerrowFins is the fact that they make silicone tails more accessible, with a “staircase” pricing system. They offer a basic silicone tail for only $600, which is an excellent price where high-quality tails are concerned. It is not designed for performances, but is a wonderful tail for someone who wants to “dip their toes” into mermaiding or save some money on a budget! I think the basic tail is also great for photoshoots in areas where you may not want to bring your most expensive tail to get scratched up or damaged. The next step is one of their partial silicone tails for those ready to upgrade, and finally, their custom tails represent the pinnacle of mermaid artistry.
