About Us



If you've been to Vermont, you probably know of them. And if you've seen them in person, you'll never forget them. Our two whales tails sculptures, Reverence in Burlington and Whale Dance in Randolph, are Vermont's most striking and unique landmarks. Their inherent beauty, combined with their unexpected juxtaposition of ocean life in our landlocked New England state, make them an unforgettable element of the Vermont experience.

For me, they are even more personal. The sculptures were created by my father, Jim Sardonis, and they've been a part of my life for almost as long as I can remember — a symbol of creativity, family, and the beauty of Vermont itself.

Whales Tails Vermont was born from that connection — a way to partner with Jim, to celebrate his iconic work, and to share this piece of Vermont with everyone who has ever admired the sculptures. 

Our shirts and goods are designed here in Vermont, letting you show off your Vermont pride in a way truly unique to our little state. Whether you're a Vermonter who has loved the whales tails for decades, or a visitor who just discovered them for the first time, we hope these items help you carry this piece of the Vermont experience along with you.
