Our Encounters
Explore our range of services designed to make your events even more magical. Mermaid Encounters begin as a resort show, and has grown to include vacation homes up and down the Florida Keys. Select your Encounter by preferred time slot, and note your location at booking. Encounters are perfect for locations with their own on-site pool. Due to sargassum in the summer months, beach Encounters are not recommended.

Join Mermaid Dorian on an under the sea discovery of mermaids, where your child will learn all about the amazing shipwrecks of the Florida Keys! With so much history and biodiversity, the Florida Keys are the perfect resting place for mermaids in the stream. Mermaid Dorian spends so much of her time frolicking in the waves, coming ashore on the New Moon, and studying humans by the artifacts on the sea floor. What treasures will they discover at the bottom of the pool?

What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead.
What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn. With the understanding that memories last a lifetime, our objective is to work alongside you to bring that once in a lifetime magic to life.
Mermaid Encounters humbly began as a single resort show, and has expanded into the hearts and vacation homes of locals and travelers alike. We encourage you to think outside the sandbox- Encounters has grown to include Mermaid Storytime, local parades, charity events and fundraisers, holiday parties, birthday parties, sandbar excursions, monthly mermaid meetups, and even a Mermaid Academy.
We are a family-owned and operated company, and hold to values that are aligned with family-friendly principles. We aim to offer Encounters and Academy that uphold our mission to ensure the Florida Keys are welcome to family travelers, homeschool groups, and conservation efforts that look to secure the future of our magnificent underwater world.
