We offer an often elusive perspective, even to the most well-connected summer regulars. It’s a world that only a privileged few truly know about! 

At Nantucket Mermaids, we take care of all the details, ensuring a hassle-free experience for you. We transport you from the hustle of hosting and herding to the tranquil waters of the harbor, allowing you to fully immerse in the beauty of Nantucket. 

Imagine the view of Nantucket from the water while watching the Boston Pops, celebrating your anniversary, gathering with family, or intimate soirées with your closest friends. These can be the most cherished memories of the summer, and endless instagrammable moments don’t hurt either.

2. The boating season in Nantucket isn’t year-round. Can you tell us where we can find the Mermaids during the rest of the year?

LC: When the yachting season wraps up in New England, you’ll often find us alongside our fleet in Palm Beach, bringing the Nantucket Mermaid experience to Florida’s coastlines as well as the Mediterranean, Spain, South Pacific, and anywhere you find the sea. We also curate multi-week charters, offering you the thrill of discovering hidden gems in some of the most iconic spots around the world!

3. Can you tell us about Nantucket Mermaids’ involvement in supporting charities or community initiatives and why it’s an important part of the business model?

LM: At Nantucket Mermaids, we’re deeply committed to supporting charities and community initiatives. Giving back is a core part of who we are. The Nantucket community, known for its caring and supportive nature, exemplifies this spirit in both business and charity. It’s inspiring to witness the palpable energy at many of the island’s charity events, where small businesses come together to support each other and contribute to causes that preserve the philanthropic spirit of the island.

We proudly partner with The Mazer Group on The Community First Project and extend our support to initiatives like Kate Kling’s Dragonfly fundraiser and Tommy Bressett’s Nantucket Golf Club Children’s Charity Classic. By participating in these efforts, we aim to make a meaningful impact and uphold the special fabric of Nantucket.
