The RIB Racing Treasure Hunt is an action-packed, water-based team building activity combining high-speed RIB boating, navigation, problem-solving, and friendly competition.

Your team will head out onto the Solent with an experienced skipper before tackling challenges, clues, and GPS-enabled treasure hunt tasks. It is an exciting choice for groups looking for something more adventurous than traditional team building activities.

Your group will be divided into teams and provided with the equipment and information needed for the challenge. Using iPads and our smart treasure hunt software, your team will travel towards GPS hotspots that unlock tasks as you approach.

Maps, charts, clues, and challenges add to the experience, while a live scoreboard keeps the competition going throughout the event.

The activity can begin at Yacht Haven Marina in Lymington, providing excellent access to the Solent. Alternative departure locations can include Southampton, Portsmouth, Hamble, Cowes, and Yarmouth. This selection of UK destinations makes the RIB racing treasure hunt a flexible option for corporate groups planning an unforgettable day on the water.

The RIB Racing Treasure Hunt is suitable for groups of approximately 8 to 300+ guests. With a maximum of eight participants per boat, larger groups can be divided across multiple RIBs. This makes the experience suitable for everything from smaller team outings to substantial corporate team building events.

You can choose between half-day and full-day options. A half-day Treasure Hunt lasts up to four hours, while the full-day experience can run for up to 7.5 hours. This flexibility makes it easier to incorporate the activity into your wider corporate event or team away day.

Your adventure begins with a comprehensive safety briefing before teams are formed and everyone gets kitted up. Your team will receive the tools and tasks required for the Treasure Hunt, ready to start developing a strategy and competing for those all-important points.

Your skipper will take you onto the Solent, where the excitement really begins. One of the challenges involves a ‘buoy to buoy’ navigation task, putting your team’s communication and decision-making skills into action. Combined with the RIB experience itself, this creates a thrilling activity with plenty to keep everyone engaged.

The RIB Racing Treasure Hunt has been designed to encourage teamwork, communication, creativity, and strategic thinking. Points are weighted heavily towards teams demonstrating excellent collaboration and creative ideas, so simply being fast will not necessarily secure victory. It is a brilliant way to bring colleagues together outside their usual working environment.

A live scoreboard displays team scores during the Treasure Hunt, helping to create plenty of friendly rivalry. With multiple challenges and opportunities to earn points, teams have an incentive to stay focused and work together right through to the finish.

No previous boating experience is required. Each RIB is provided with a Skipper, and a comprehensive safety briefing takes place before your adventure begins. Boats, Skippers, fuel, safety equipment, and mooring fees are all included, allowing your team to concentrate on enjoying the challenge.

As this is an outdoor, water-based activity, practical clothing suitable for the conditions is recommended. Optional wet weather gear can also be arranged at an additional cost.

Comfortable clothing and suitable footwear will help you enjoy your time both on the RIB and during the land-based elements of the Treasure Hunt.

The RIB Racing Treasure Hunt is described as a wet ‘n’ wild adventure for good reason. Conditions on the water can vary, so being prepared for spray, and changing weather will help you get the most from the experience.

Participants need a reasonable level of physical health rather than a high level of fitness. However, travelling aboard a RIB can be physically demanding. The activity is unsuitable for participants with hip, knee, back, or neck problems and for anyone who is pregnant.

Refreshment packages can be arranged at an additional cost, with options including breakfast, lunch, and prosecco during the prize giving. After completing the activity, there is also an opportunity to relax and enjoy a drink from the bar, making the finish a great chance to celebrate with colleagues.

Medals are awarded to every member of the winning team. After hours of navigation, challenges, creative thinking, and competition, the prize giving provides a fun finale and the perfect opportunity to recognise the team that has mastered the Treasure Hunt.

For the standard itinerary, you will return no later than approximately 5.30pm. Between November and April, the itinerary can begin at 11.00am and finishes no later than approximately 4.30pm. Exact timings can be discussed when arranging your event.

For teams that want excitement, competition, and genuine opportunities to work together, the RIB Racing Treasure Hunt delivers an experience that is difficult to forget. From speeding across the Solent to cracking clues, unlocking GPS hotspots, and climbing the live scoreboard, every stage encourages participation.

With flexible durations, several departure locations, and capacity for large groups, it is a fantastic water-based team building activity that can turn your next corporate event into a real adventure.
