Very few Islamorada resorts embrace the group dynamic the way Cheeca Lodge & Spa does. In a business climate, where organizations are looking for new and innovative ways to add life to gatherings and motivate employees, there is a growing need for unique locations and creative, fun, and challenging activities. Our inspired Islamorada fishing resort provides just the setting. Redefine the term "breakout" with a board table on the Cheeca Pier or a brainstorming session on a 39-passenger Corinthian motor catamaran. From scavenger hunts and fishing tournaments to sailboat and kayak races, exciting adventures await at Cheeca Lodge.
- Reef Scavenger Hunt: The group will board our 45-foot Corinthian motor catamaran and travel to the living coral reef. Teams will be given two underwater cameras and one checklist of items to be discovered on board the boat and on the reef. Teams must work efficiently to identify and photograph each item. Film will be developed and points tallied to determine the winner.
- Scavenger Hunt on Indian Key: All aboard for an excursion to historical Indian Key! Once on the island, teams will be given instructions to "discover" items, which will be used to create a specific final structure. Teams will be required to find information, take pictures, and reenact historical scenes to vie for the win.
- Land and Sea Scavenger Hunt: For the spirited group, combine the reef scavenger hunt and the Indian Key hunt for one great time.
- Indian Key Treasure Hunt: Re-live the early days of the pirates who inhabited Indian Key as you follow a cryptic trail of clues that will lead to a final reward. Teams must use their ingenuity to solve riddles that concern the rich island history, the flora, and fauna of the island.
- Back Country Fishing Tournament: Let us coordinate a classic tournament including traditional rules, experienced captains, a kickoff cocktail party, and a delightful awards banquet with recognition for outstanding team and individual achievement.
- Strictly Sailing: The group will be divided into teams. An instructor will teach each team to sail, and each team will work together to complete a determined number of buoyed heats to earn the winner's prize.
- Sailing and Kayak Competition: Teams will be faced with a series of challenges involving kayaking and sailing competition. Winners are determined by efficiency in problem solving and speed in racing.
- Land and Sea Competition: Teams will be given a list of scored activities. The team to garner the most points, within a given time frame, will win. The list will include tasks such as sailing to a marker buoy, kayaking a course, catching a fish from the dock, or collecting five different types of tropical flora. Rules will ensure that members have to work together to accomplish their goals.
- Raft Building: Teams will be challenged to build a stable raft with found objects. Team members must be transported through the marked course by the vessel. Strategy choices determine the winner of this hilarious event.
