They’re fin-tastic!

Nautical knockouts (from left) Alysa Cirelli, 17, Vera Pooh, 17, Desiree Fuller, 20, Diandre Fuller, 22, and Carmela Astuto, 18, float down Surf Avenue yesterday during the annual Mermaid Parade, a Coney Island tradition since 1983.

The gals are all members of Luna Park’s Lunatic Dance Team.

“We felt like models up there,” laughed Cirelli.

Organizers estimated that 3,000 made-up sea maidens and mateys marched while thousands more ogled the scantily clad starfish.

Two Brooklynites — WNBC/Channel 4 reporter Cat Greenleaf and “Man v. Food” host Adam Richman — were the parade’s Queen Mermaid and King Neptune.
