The Dancing Mermaid

locationBoynton Beach, FL

5 Trips Available

In the clear, current-washed waters of Palm Beach County, where vibrant reefs meet the power of the Gulf Stream, The Dancing Mermaid offers a snorkeling and freediving experience unlike any other in Florida. Led by Captain Tracy Brack, this locally rooted guide service specializes in shore dive snorkeling tours, guided freediving in Florida, and Boynton Beach spearfishing experiences—all without the need for a boat.


The Dancing Mermaid offers guided shore snorkeling tours, freediving experiences, and spearfishing trips throughout Palm Beach County, including Boynton Beach, Singer Island, Riviera Beach, and Palm Beach. Specializing in no-boat snorkeling tours, our trips provide direct access to vibrant Gulf Stream-fed reefs just steps from shore.


Most experiences are 2-hour snorkeling and freediving tours, offered up to three times daily (9am, 12pm, and 3pm). These trips are ideal for families, first-time snorkelers, and experienced ocean lovers looking for a relaxed, personalized adventure with a private snorkeling guide in Florida.


Snorkeling Tours (Beginner to Advanced)

Our snorkeling trips make up the majority of what we do and are designed for all comfort levels. Beginner private sessions include snorkeling instruction, flotation training, ocean safety, reef education, and a guided reef dive. Intermediate and advanced snorkelers can enjoy deeper reef exploration and skill progression with an experienced guide who understands local conditions.


Guided Freediving Experiences

For guests ready to go beyond the surface, we offer guided freediving in Florida, focusing on breath-hold techniques, efficiency, and confidence. These shore dive freediving tours are beginner-friendly and always paced to the group’s ability, making them an excellent introduction to freediving in Palm Beach County.


Boynton Beach Spearfishing Trips

Spearfishing is offered exclusively in Boynton Beach and is structured as either a two-day experience (training day followed by a spearfishing day) or a single 3-hour spearfishing trip. These trips emphasize safety, proper technique, and responsible harvesting and are ideal for those new to guided spearfishing in Boynton Beach.


Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly snorkeling tour, a private freediving guide, or a hands-on Boynton Beach spearfishing experience, The Dancing Mermaid delivers affordable, safe, and unforgettable ocean adventures—no boat required.

The crew emphasizes safety, proper technique, and sustainable practices throughout the experience. Whether you’re new to spearfishing or already have time in the water, the instruction can help you approach the activity with greater awareness and confidence. This is a good fit if you want a more practical, skills-focused outing, with guidance centered on how to move through the reef and identify what you encounter rather than simply spending time on the water.
