It was fun while it lasted folks ✌🏼 we met some amazing people and made memories along the way.

Unfortunately, the numbers don’t equate to us sticking around.

We wanna give a heartfelt thank you to everybody who helped push our brand and to those joined us for tours this summer.

We are honoring all of our current reservations and still taking bookings through the end of 2023.

Don’t forget to paddle out and be happy 😃 Much love💜

The Panama City Publishing Company Museum is hosting their 3rd Annual Letterpress Exhibit from Tuesday, July 5th through Saturday, July 29th. Vote for your favorite entry! The award reception and winner announcement is at the museum on Saturday, July 22nd from 4:30-6 p.m.

The exhibit includes entries from a variety of skill levels – beginner to experienced. Some were created by our own in-house printers on the museum’s vintage presses, and some by artists with their own presses.

Letterpress is the centuries-old printing craft that has surged in recent years. The Panama City Publishing Company Museum demonstrates this craft to visitors daily. Vintage presses, plates, and letters may be used, or sometimes artists create their own designs in linoleum for printing.

⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️
We haven't had to make this post in years but a refresher is good!

PLEASE STOP TRYING TO HAGGLE OUR PRICES OR SAY YOU FOUND A MERMAID THAT DOES IT CHEAPER SO WHY CAN'T WE.
😄❤️

Our costs reflect the work that goes into becoming what you want to book.

Our crew and staff does this full time.
This is their job year round.
Every day.
Multiple hours a day, and we do pay a livable wage so they can support their families!

People approach us as if we aren't a real company - and demand we lower our prices, give us a story about their income, berate and curse out our customer service representative and claim we should "do it for free if we really love kids".

Yes, we are aware of a restaurant that (allegedly) hires children and throws them in tails (which is dangerous) with no certifications to entertain your guppies for the price of a meal.

Yes, we are aware there is a mermaid that is a trainee we had that also is uncertified,untrained, not CPR certified and not safety certified charging 20$ - 50$ to meet her.

But we are:
Safety Certified
Freedive Certified
Adult and Child CPR Certified
Insured
Educated on Child Psychology
Stop the Bleed educated
Actors trained in Improv
Trained Singers
Educated on Mental Illnesses, Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses.
Know De- escalation techniques
Self Defense trained
And the top ranking Mermaid Business in the Panhandle.

Our Tails cost from 500$ to 3500$. No you CAN'T buy the same one from Amazon.
Our Pirates wear the most realistic gear no matter the weather to keep the magic alive.
We have to maintenence our gear after EVERY gig
Our photoshoots are 500$+
Certifications around 800$ per cast member.
Our customer service rep is often up past midnight answering dozens of inquiries.

We understand we're not fit for everyone's budget.
Please understand that booking our performers is a luxury that should be treated as such- not a entitlement.

Please STOP: .

Cursing at us.
Demanding discounts
Giving stories on why we should discount you
Asking us to work for free
Asking us to work for exchange for "publicity".

We abshelloutely adore the hype we've gotten since the Netflix show aired, but please understand this is a strenuous job.

Respect us ♥️♥️♥️🫶🏿
