Mermaid Tails & Equipment
How many tails does Mermaid Lanai own?
Mermaid Lanai currently has four professional mermaid tails: two realistic silicone tails and two high-quality fabric tails. All silicone tails are custom-designed to her specifications, made with children in mind, and ensure safety, mobility, and a magical, realistic appearance.
Pricing of Tails
Her realistic platinum silicone tails range from $1,950 to $4,500. The high-quality fabric tails are priced at $400.
Weight of Tails
Depending on the material and style, tails weigh between 12 and 41 pounds.
Traveling with Tails
Due to their size and weight, tails must be checked in for flights. This ensures they arrive safely and remain in perfect condition for your event.
What Can Guests Expect from Lanai’s Tails?
Each tail is crafted for professional performance. They allow Mermaid Lanai to swim gracefully in pools, tanks, or approved water venues. For land-based events, she can sit on a special shell or platform while still maintaining a realistic mermaid appearance. The tails are safe for interactive experiences, including meet-and-greets, photo opportunities, and hands-on activities for children and adults alike.
Tattoos & Appearance
Mermaid Lanai herself does not have tattoos or unusual piercings, ensuring a classic mermaid appearance. Occasionally, other professional mermaids she works with may have tattoos. If a tattoo-free mermaid is preferred for your event, please specify at booking.
Tail Makers
Mermaid Lanai collaborates with leading tail makers to ensure quality and realism:
* GotMermaid
* Mernation
* FinFolk Productions
Additional Notes for Clients
Tail care and transportation are essential for safety and performance.
All tails are suitable for children’s events, family-friendly parties, and professional mermaid entertainment.
Mermaid Lanai’s silicone tails are custom-designed with children in mind, ensuring a safe and magical experience for guests of all ages.
Booking Information & Service Area
Mermaid Lanai performs throughout New York City, including all five boroughs (Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island), as well as Long Island, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Her tails are used year-round for events in pools, aquariums, beaches, resorts, and other approved venues. During peak season (April–October), her schedule fills quickly, so advanced booking is recommended, especially for multiple mermaids or larger events. She also works with educational programs, aquariums, and nonprofit organizations.
