Experiential travel company Pelorus has launched yacht-based treasure hunt adventures in collaboration with Luxury Treasure Hunts.
This fresh, highly creative approach to yachting allows guests to make the most of their boat, captain, crew and water toys, whilst exploring some pretty exotic destinations by land and sea, including Indonesia, the Caribbean and Sardinia.
Each 1-3 day treasure hunt yacht charter is completely unique and based on real historical figures. Staged and produced in unique locations, Pelorus and Luxury Treasure Hunts use a network of actors, screenwriters, prop makers, and location managers, some of whom have worked at Disney, Marvel and National Geographic, to create thrilling experiences that dig deep into each location’s history, landscape, and culture.
A web of clues, riddles, interactions, and games is used to guide guests to the treasure and solve the mystery, both onboard and onshore. You’ll become a swashbuckling hero in your own, real-life production.
For example, in Sardinia, Pelorus’s guests set off on a historically accurate quest looking for the fabled lost treasure of Captain John Rackham (aka Calico Jack). The captain and his lover Anne Bonney, with whom he had a child, are key figures in pirate folklore and play a central role in these island-hopping adventures.
In Indonesia, you’ll encounter the dragons of Komodo National Park and visit the coral gardens of Raja Ampat on a traditional phinisi; join local rangers to feed reef sharks or dive and swim among manta rays; and visit unexplored sacred temples that watch over mystical islands.
And in the Caribbean, you’ll hop off board to explore the islands and zipline through dense jungle; kitesurf off Barbuda’s pink sand beaches; and swim with stingrays, before dancing to steel bands at sunset and camping out on secluded islands. Each destination has its own unique tale to tell, all fully developed to keep everyone on their toes.
