Please let us know ahead of time so we can be sure to have properly sized lifejackets on hand, and so we can adjust our safety briefing accordingly.

Can I bring my pet?

To protect our other guests who may have allergies, we do not allow pets on board.

Depending on the wind direction, we can sail right by the money pit on Oak Island if you like. Let us know and we can talk about the possibilities when you come on board! 

What happens if the weather is bad?

If, in the event of severe weather, the Captain determines it is unsafe to sail we will reschedule your tour this season at your convenience or refund you 100% of your payment.
