Who's It For
Families, kids & shark fans of all ages
Big news, ocean friends — Sew Mako is officially a vendor at SharkCon 12! And honestly? We didn't just say yes because we love sharks (we sew do). We said yes because SharkCon is our kind of crowd — the kind of people who light up talking about apex predators, quote shark scientists at dinner, and think a 45-foot inflatable Megalodon is a completely reasonable centerpiece.
Our people. All of them. In one room. For two whole days.
But the thing that really makes SharkCon something special is the speaker lineup. This year is genuinely jaw-dropping — researchers, conservationists, filmmakers, and the cast of Netflix's All the Sharks, all gathering under one roof to share what they know and love about the ocean's most misunderstood creatures.
Beyond the speakers, there's a 45-foot inflatable Megalodon, shark tooth sand digs, touch tanks, indoor scuba diving, a free treasure hunt for kids, and 150+ vendors of shark and ocean-inspired everything. It's a full two days of pure, unfiltered ocean love — and every single bit of it goes toward raising money for shark and ocean conservation.
Come find us at our booth, pick up something handmade with heart, and spend the weekend surrounded by people who love the sea as much as you do. We genuinely cannot wait.
With Love,
The Sew Mako Team 🌊
