Mermaid Tails

Handmade, Swimmable Mermaid Tails

Every Finfolk mermaid tail is designed and handmade by our small woman-owned studio in North Carolina. We sell everything from ready-to-ship printed fabric tails to fully custom silicone tails worn by professional mermaids, zoos, and aquariums around the world. Whether you're buying your first tail or commissioning a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, start here.

Fabric vs. Silicone Mermaid Tails

Fabric tails are lightweight, swimmable tails in premium printed scuba knit. They're easy to wear and travel with, and perfect for everyday swims and first-time mermaids.

Silicone tails are hyper-realistic, custom-built commissions made of skin-safe platinum-cure silicone. Everything from paint to patterning to how many fins is fully customizable.

Fabric tails start at $215 for Discoveries and $425 for no-fin Signatures; custom silicone tails begin at $7,500.

Signature vs. Discovery Fabric Tails

Signature Fabric Tails are our full-featured line for dedicated mermaids and stronger swimmers. They feature larger fluke shapes, optional fin variations, and two internal vinyl pieces that sandwich the monofin to hold the fluke's shape while you swim or model. Signature tails start at $425, ranging to $1,500+ depending on fluke shape and fin configuration.

Discovery tails are our budget-friendly line for new mermaids - lightweight and simple, with no fins or vinyl: just add an Adult Mermaid Linden Monofin and go. Discovery tails run $215–$295 depending on fluke shape.

All fabric tails require a monofin (sold separately) - we recommend the Adult Mermaid Linden for pool swims and land modeling, or the FINIS Shooter for ocean and more strenuous swimming.

Ready to Ship vs. Made to Order

Ready-to-ship tails are in stock and estimated to ship within 7-10 business days of order placement.

Made-to-order tails are printed and crafted for you when you order - same designs and quality, typically estimated to ship to you in 12-18 weeks.

Tail of the Month

One limited-edition fabric tail design available for the month. This can be a brand new design or an old favorite. When the month ends, it goes back in the vault; catch it while it's here!
