Coastal Cruises Poole Launches Traitors Afloat — A Brand-New Live-Action Game Experience on the Water

This spring and summer, Coastal Cruises Poole is inviting thrill-seekers, strategists and mystery lovers aboard for an unforgettable new experience. Traitors Afloat is a live-action interactive game cruise set against the atmospheric evening backdrop of Poole Harbour — where trust is fragile, alliances are tested, and betrayal is all part of the game.

Inspired by the popularity of strategic mystery games and social deduction shows, Traitors Afloat transforms a traditional harbour cruise into an immersive, hosted experience unlike anything else in the region. Guests won’t just be passengers - they’ll be players.

A Game of Trust, Deception and Strategy

Upon boarding at sunset, each guest is secretly assigned a role. Some are Faithful. A select few are Traitors. But no one knows who is who.

As the vessel glides through Poole Harbour, players take part in interactive challenges, collect clues, form alliances and cast suspicions - all while trying to uncover the traitors… or quietly sabotage from the shadows. Expect laughter, accusations, dramatic twists and memorable reveals as the game unfolds.

No acting experience is required - just a willingness to get involved and a good poker face.

The Perfect Setting: Poole Harbour After Dark

With the lights of the quay fading into the distance and the calm waters stretching into the night, Poole Harbour provides the ultimate stage for a game built on tension and intrigue. The unique waterside setting heightens every interaction, making conversations more secretive and every glance more suspicious — all while offering stunning evening views.
