A Week in the Islands
Every voyage is customized based on your group, their goals, and the weather — but here's a snapshot of what a family sailing adventure and treasure hunt can look like.
Your family boards the yacht, meets the captain, chef, and WayMaker leader, and settles into life on the water. After a brief sailing introduction and a sunset dinner, the Treasure Hunt begins with your first sealed clue. It hints that the greatest discoveries come when you're willing to journey together. With excitement growing and the islands around you glowing in the evening light, your family drifts off knowing a shared adventure is waiting.
You start the day learning sailing basics before navigating to The Baths, a maze of giant boulders, hidden pools, and sunlit passages. The next clue is tucked somewhere among the caves, requiring curiosity, teamwork, and a little courage. Snorkeling reveals brilliant underwater life that amazes both kids and adults. As the day winds down, your leader helps your family reflect on how God often places treasure in unexpected places — and how discovering it draws you closer together.
Today's open-water sail offers time to grow your sailing skills — steering, trimming sails, reading the ocean. The rhythmic movement of the boat becomes a reminder of God's steady guidance. Your next clue is revealed only after completing small sailing challenges, underscoring how each person contributes to the journey. Arriving in Anegada feels like reaching the edge of the world. Your evening clue, discovered around a beach fire, sets the stage for deeper adventure ahead.
The day's clue leads you to an underwater discovery, where snorkeling among coral and colorful fish reveals part of the puzzle. Your family works together to follow compass bearings and underwater markers that unlock the next step. The beauty below the surface reinforces a powerful truth: there is always more to people — and God's creation — than what we see at first glance. You end the day with growing confidence in your teamwork and purpose.
A short, peaceful sail brings you to the breathtaking island of Sandy Cay. Today's riddle emphasizes listening and reflection, encouraging your family to slow down and enjoy unhurried time together — floating, walking the beach, or simply resting in the sun. Meaningful conversations happen naturally in this relaxed space. By afternoon, the message becomes clear: deeper connection grows when life is unhurried, and the treasure you seek is found not just in adventure, but in stillness too.
The final day's challenge takes place under sail as your family operates the yacht together — plotting a course, adjusting sails, calling out instructions, and working as a cohesive crew. Completing the task leads you to a hidden shore marker where the treasure chest awaits. Inside is a mirror, a scripture, and a message revealing the true meaning of the week: you are the treasure — uniquely created, deeply valued, and placed in this family with purpose. It is a moment no one forgets.
The final morning is a celebration sail, filled with laughter and stories from the week. You return to harbor changed — more connected, more grateful, and carrying memories that will stay with your family for years. The treasure you discovered becomes a touchstone, a reminder of identity, purpose, and the unshakeable bond you share. It is more than a vacation. It is a legacy your family will keep returning to long after the voyage ends.
