Finding Treasure: An Unforgettable Yacht Charter Adventure
As the demand grows for experiences beyond traditional luxury, our expert charter consultants are constantly seeking ways to enhance a luxury yacht charter. While cruising the world's best destinations aboard a selection of the finest yachts, IYC continues to push the boundaries by introducing innovative and immersive entertainment options that add to the magic and elevate the charter experience to new heights. One organization offering such experiences available onboard is Luxury Treasure Hunts.
Bespoke Experience
Luxury Treasure Hunts, founded in 2021 by seasoned film and TV producer Charlie Moretti, creates and executes bespoke onboard treasure hunts for charter guests. It is not your average treasure hunt; the world-class productions are crafted by top-quality producers, screenwriters, prop makers, and location managers who have worked with names such as Disney, DreamWorks, and National Geographic. The company blends imaginative with real-life historical storytelling with interactive challenges, resulting in hyper-realistic adventures.
Whether you are celebrating a milestone birthday, organizing a corporate retreat, or simply seeking an unforgettable family activity, each experience is tailored to exceed expectations and level up a yacht charter.
Yacht Specific
Each treasure hunt is uniquely designed to complement the yacht and itinerary. The exciting experience can be run over a single day or multiple, with a narrative carefully chosen to match your group's interests, ages, and cruising destination. Tracking down the treasure through puzzles, clues, and challenges is integrated into the hunt. The team works with the yacht's crew to ensure that the treasure hunt is seamlessly organized and does not disrupt any other activities during the itinerary.
Luxury Treasure Hunts can curate these experiences anywhere in the world. Previous hunts have taken place in popular yacht charter destinations such as The Bahamas and Antigua in the Caribbean, to Mediterranean adventures in Sicily.
A collaborative process between Luxury Treasure Hunts and the yacht, Moretti explains: "We are the best relief crew ever. The team brings everything necessary with minimal logistical demands from the crew." The professional setup ensures the treasure hunt runs smoothly while maintaining the highest luxury service standards, synchronizing to the yacht, itinerary, and crew.
The immersive experience itself has been packaged and explicitly designed for luxury yachts. Various yachts in our fleet have enjoyed a Luxury Treasure Hunt experience, such as the 180'5" (55m) AFTER YOU. Captain Wesley Kriedemann of AFTER YOU explains: "Logistics and safety were clear and helpfully integrated into our own complex operation, which simplified everything for all. Solid execution is what we look for, and they deliver it.” Other popular yachts for charter in the IYC fleet that have enjoyed a luxury treasure hunt are the 240' (73m) LAUREL, the 180'5" (55m) MOSKITO, the 194'7" (59.3m) IDYLLIC, and the 151' (46m) PISCES to name a few.
Multi-Generational Appeal
The treasure hunts are not only a bespoke experience; they are activities that span generational appeal and are ideal for guests of all ages. From grandparents to grandchildren, each guest has a role in the adventure, creating moments of family bonding and shared fun. The experiences are designed to be inclusive, stimulating, and fun for all involved. Whether a small or large yacht charter group, family, or friends, a treasure hunt can add to your cruising experience wherever you are.
"Our guests, small and old, were thrilled by the experience. There was something for everyone, from immersive adventuring for the younger ones to historical learning for the adults, they all left with something unique from the experience. Most importantly, they did as a family something that can't be found anywhere else in the world," comments Captain Kriedemann.
Beyond Treasure
The company also recently launched the Aquavistas brand, with extended entertainment options and 17 different show offerings onboard. From the Superyacht Hero Academy to Harry Potter experiences and murder mysteries to cabaret performances and acrobats, there are a range of exciting shows to include within a yacht charter experience.
"Our concept is specifically tailored for yachting," explains Moretti. "We design shows to be brought onboard and redesigned for yachts." The company has three main categories to cater to charter profiles: children-specific shows, those for family fun, and those bigger shows to celebrate various events such as milestone birthdays.
AKULA & Treasure Hunts In Antigua
Luxury Treasure Hunts will be hosting a treasure hunt during this year's Antigua Yacht Charter Show; the hunt is for consultants and crew and will be happening around the event to get a firsthand taste of what a treasure hunt experience is like. The company is also hosting a press event onboard the 172' (52m) AKULA on 8 December in Antigua, further showcasing how their innovative entertainment option can transform an ordinary charter into an exciting adventure.
