Learn from professionals

Poker Masterclass Cruise

A day voyage built around structured coaching: hand review in the morning, live table drills after lunch and a low-stakes tournament to test what you learned.

From A$540 per player Day charter, lunch included
The experience

Twelve seats, two coaches, one honest curriculum

The masterclass caps at twelve players so every hand you play gets reviewed. Morning sessions cover preflop structure, position and the math most players avoid. Afternoon sessions are live drills at a short-handed table with a coach calling the reasoning, not just the result.

Coaches are working tournament professionals with recorded results, not entertainers reading from slides. You leave with a written review of your leaks, a drilled set of adjustments and a finishing tournament where the coaching table watches you apply it.

What you get

A curriculum that respects your time

Hand review lab

Morning work on real hands: yours and ours. Decisions are rebuilt on screen with ranges and pot math shown plainly.

Live drills

Short-handed play with a coach narrating reasoning in real time. Spots repeat until the correct line feels automatic.

Written leak report

Every player leaves with a page of specific leaks and the adjustment for each. Not generic advice: your hands, your report.

Graduation tournament

A two-hour freezeout closes the day. Coaches rail and debrief your key hands over dinner before docking.

Small cohort

Twelve seats per sailing means the coaching is personal. Two coaches split the group for drill sessions.

Alumni table

Graduates get priority pricing on season passes and a standing invite to the monthly alumni sit-and-go.

How it works

From first call to final hand

01

Book a seat

Tell us your regular game and where you feel stuck. We slot you into the cohort that fits your level.

02

Morning theory

Board at 08:30, coffee on, and work through structured hand review until lunch on the water.

03

Afternoon drills

Live short-handed play with coaching at the table. Specific spots are drilled until the reasoning holds.

04

Prove it at the table

The graduation freezeout runs before dinner. Your key hands are debriefed over the meal as we dock.

I have watched every training video on the internet. One afternoon of live drills fixed a leak I did not know I had, and I could not unsee it afterwards.

A typical evening

How the night unfolds on board

Every sailing is choreographed around the tables. Times shift slightly with the season and the vessel, but the rhythm below is the one our guests know well.

08:30: boarding and coffee

Seats assigned, workbooks open. The first hour sets the day's framework: position, ranges and pot math basics.

10:00: hand review lab

Student hands go on screen. The group rebuilds each decision and argues the alternative lines out loud.

13:30: live drill tables

Two short-handed tables, one coach each. Spots repeat with immediate correction until lines feel natural.

17:00: graduation freezeout

A two-hour tournament for a real prize pool. Coaches rail the final table and debrief over dinner.
