"Twenty thousand people have stood at our final tables.
None of them remember the ceiling."

When the Cards
Are Put Away
The tournament ends; the evening does not. Our lounges shift the night into a different gear — live jazz on the terrace, a DJ under the stars, or a cigar corner on the aft deck.
- Resident DJs & jazz trios till dock
- Signature cocktail program & cellar list
- Open-deck lounges under the city lights
Is gambling legal at your events?
Our events are social gaming productions — guests play with fun-money chips for trophies, prizes and charity outcomes, never cash. This keeps every event fully compliant with Victorian law while preserving all the theatre of a real casino.
How many guests can you host?
From a private salon for eight to a full-ship charter for four hundred. Tournament formats run best from twenty players up — tell us your number and we will match a vessel.
What if the weather turns?
Port Phillip Bay is sheltered and our salons are climate-controlled — rain rarely registers. If the vessel's master calls conditions unsafe, you get a free reschedule or a full refund under our weather guarantee.
Can non-players enjoy the night?
Designed for it — lounges, live music, chef-led dining and open decks mean non-players often have the better evening. Nobody at our events has to touch a card to have a night.
How far ahead should we book?
Six to ten weeks is comfortable for private events. December, Melbourne Cup week and Saturday sunset slots book months ahead — provisional holds are free while you decide.
The Bay Is Calm.
The Tables Are Set.
Tell us the occasion and the headcount — a senior producer will call within one business day with a plan and a vessel. No obligation, no pressure, no scripts.
