FAQs
Rib Treasure Hunt: Frequently Asked Questions
The Rib Treasure Hunt combines high-speed powerboating with an interactive team challenge around the Solent and South Coast. Teams travel between ports, disembark to complete tasks and use waterproof iPads to follow the hunt.
Rib stands for Rigid Inflatable Boat. These fast, manoeuvrable craft provide the excitement of travelling across the water while professional skippers remain responsible for operating the boats and managing the journey.
The event explores the South Coast and the Solent, using different harbours and ports as challenge locations. The route and departure point will be agreed as part of the event planning.
The hunt can include cryptic clues, location-based tasks and photo challenges. Teams use an interactive map on their waterproof iPad to find the relevant ports, complete the assignments and build their score.
Yes. The software updates scores in real time and can show the position of the other boats. That creates a tactical element as teams decide which locations to target while watching their rivals move around the course.
Participants receive a safety briefing before boarding and are supplied with waterproof clothing and lifejackets. The Ribs are certified, insured for passenger use and operated by experienced professional skippers.
No. Participants are passengers while the professional skipper handles the boat. Your team's job is to plan its treasure-hunt strategy, solve the challenges and move quickly when it reaches each port.
Depending on the chosen route and format, the event lasts approximately three to six hours. It can therefore provide either a substantial half-day experience or the main focus of a full corporate team day.
The Rib Treasure Hunt can accommodate approximately 5 to 200 people. Larger groups use a matched fleet of boats, allowing several teams to compete across the water at the same time.
Waterproof outerwear and lifejackets are provided, but participants should still wear practical layers and secure footwear suitable for boats and harbours. Conditions on the water can feel cooler than they do on land.
