Where the name came from

A little story with plenty of personality.

Fins Agency began with founders Katie and Wayne Mills, a shared love of the water, and a family nickname. Wayne—a U.S. Marine Corps veteran—has long been known as “Sharky.” Add in their beach-loving, Parrot Head spirit and the familiar call of “Fins Up,” and the name felt inevitable.

Katie launched the agency in 2018 to turn that easygoing island mindset into something genuinely useful: personal travel guidance, trusted recommendations, and calm support from the first idea to the flight home.

Today, Fins Agency specializes in premium cruises, beautiful resort escapes, destination weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries, and group trips worth gathering for.

Luxury should feel special—but it should still feel like you.
