Poker Masterclass at Sea
A coaching cruise run by tournament professionals — theory on the sun deck, drills at practice tables, then a real mini-tournament where the lessons either work or they don't.

School, with a better view
Our coaches are working tournament players — the same people who deal and direct the big evenings. Sessions run in plain language on the open deck: position, odds you can actually use, and the three mistakes that cost beginners the most.
Then the theory gets tested. A real tournament with real pressure — coaches rail-watching, whispering one note per break — and a debrief over dinner about the hands you misplayed and the one you didn't.
Every element, engineered
Pro coaches
Working tournament players, not lecturers — they play what they teach.
Drill tables
Practice felts for position drills and odds exercises before the real game.
Graduation event
A coached mini-tournament to close — the exam nobody dreads.
Take-home notes
A printed field guide of the evening's concepts, sized for a jacket pocket.
Theory, drills, then the real felt
Three hours of tuition broken into deck sessions and table drills, then a ninety-minute tournament with coached breaks. The curriculum adjusts to the room — total beginners through to regulars polishing a leak.
