How can I create a new planet/satellite system that generates tides of 6-8 metres?

I'm creating a new setting for a novel. I'd like to build a world where the interaction between the planet and its satellite/satellites can generate a normal tide excursion around 6/8 metres. Furthermore I need that once every 500 years there occurs a low tide ten/twenty times that of the normal ones.

Can anyone suggest to me how to set up this relationship to be at least credible?

I'm thinking of a system with a central planet with 2 satellites, where the nearest is smaller and orbits faster, and a second one is bigger and farther away with a really slow orbit with a very elliptical path, but I don't know if this solution can work.

P.S.: Obviously the number is merely indicative only for give you an idea of how this thing should work.
