About Us
Every Tide Has A Tale
Coastal Skallywag wasn’t created in a boardroom.
The idea may have started recently, but the story behind it was built over years of sunsets, saltwater, and memories along the Gulf Coast.
Some of the best moments weren’t planned. They happened while walking the sandbar looking for shells, watching sea turtles make their way to the ocean, spotting rays gliding through clear water, or standing knee-deep in the surf as the sun disappeared below the horizon.
The beach became a place to slow down.
A place to laugh with family, dream about the future, remember the people who shaped us, and find perspective when life moved too fast.
I didn't grow up going to the beach. In 2012, while dating the woman who would become my wife, we took our first real trip together -- and my first real trip to the Gulf Coast. Over the years, those trips became family traditions. Walking the sandbars looking for shells, watching sea turtles make their way to the ocean, spotting rays gliding through the water, and ending each day with another Gulf Coast sunset reminded us that the best memories rarely come from rushing somewhere. They come from slowing down long enough to simply be together.
Those moments became the foundation for Coastal Skallywag.
We create apparel inspired by those moments—not just the waves, but the stories they leave behind.
Some collections celebrate slowing down and living on island time. Others embrace pirate legends, hidden treasure, and the adventurous spirit of the sea. Our Dark Seas collection reminds us that the ocean is both beautiful and powerful, while our Coastal Wildlife collection celebrates the incredible creatures that call it home.
Every design begins with a story, and every collection becomes another entry in the Captain's Log.
Whether you’re catching waves, casting a line, searching for shells, or simply watching another sunset, we hope our apparel reminds you to appreciate the journey.
Every design is inspired by a memory, a place, or a feeling we've been fortunate enough to experience along the Gulf Coast.
Because every tide has a tale.
