The wife and I booked an afternoon cruise around Mahone and Oak Island not knowing anything about the TV series, The Curse of Oak Island. It ended up being an amazing experience and Tony (Captain) was a brilliant and informative host. Meeting Laird from the show and having dinner at a local pub just topped a wonderful afternoon. Cannot recommend this enough 👍

Excellent tour! We had skipper Tony Samson. He was super friendly and so knowledgeable! I learned more on that tour than I could have imagined. Saw everything I wanted to see of Oak Island and the surrounding area. Tony shared stories and experiences as well as articles he found diving. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would! Great experience to tie into my tour of the island the next day. Highly recommended!!!!!

My husband and I took a Salty Dog tour today with Renni as our Captain. The tour was very informative and interesting as well as quite entertaining. Renni was very personable and obviously knew so much about not only Oak Island but so much about the surrounding islands and history. The boat was very comfortable and the weather could not have been more perfect. Totally enjoyed hearing all the insights and seeing some artifacts recovered from one of Tony’s earlier dives. I am so glad we got to see Oak Island after watching the show and being a fan for years! Did not disappoint and would definitely recommend!
