A Send-Off With a Story
Every bucks and hens party has the same problem: someone wants Vegas, someone wants classy, and the best man wants it organised for him. Our cruise solves all three — a real poker tournament with a named trophy for the groom or bride, a casino floor for the non-players, and a private deck where the party stays together.
We handle the lot: drinks packages, playlist or DJ, decorations with their name in lights, a photographer catching the chaos, and a plan B for the uncle who does not play cards. The organiser gets a single contact and a night they can actually enjoy.
Party Essentials
Every booking is engineered end-to-end by our Melbourne production team — no third-party handoffs, no compromise on detail.
Named Trophy
The tournament winner lifts a trophy engraved for the occasion — the one keepsake everyone fights for.
Drinks Packages
Beer-and-bubbles classics through to premium cocktail lists, plus a champagne arrival for the guest of honour.
DJ or Playlist
Bring a playlist or take our resident DJ — the dance floor opens the moment the tournament busts.
Party Photographer
Documented from boarding to the last dance — a highlight gallery lands in your inbox within 48 hours.
Cake & Catering
Canapés, substantial stations or a full sit-down — plus a cake made to whatever brief you dare send us.
Transport Sorted
Group pickups from the CBD, limos for the VIPs, or a party bus to the pier — we coordinate it all.
Party Styles
A proper freezeout with the guest of honour at seat one and a bounty on their head. Deep enough stacks that everyone plays for hours, short enough levels that nobody misses the bar for long.
Roulette, blackjack and a money wheel for the whole crew — no experience needed, maximum noise guaranteed. The format for parties where most guests have never played a hand.
Cocktails, a casino corner and a sunset deck for hens who want glamour over gambling. Same ship, same sunset — dressed in white and gold instead of felt and chips.

Best bucks decision we made. The poker kept the sporty ones happy, the casino kept everyone else busy, and the photos are incredible.

Party Questions
Can we combine bucks and hens?
Absolutely — joint parties are increasingly common. We can run two tables or one merged tournament, and the deck layout keeps both crews sharing the same bar.
Is there a dress code?
Smart casual is the baseline; themed dress is welcome and the décor team can match it. Boarding requires flat-soled shoes on deck — stilettos are fine inside the salons.
What about drinks limits?
We run a responsible-service bar — packages are generous but staff monitor the room. The point is a legendary night, not an early one.
Can we bring our own decorations?
Yes — bring anything reasonable and our crew will set it before boarding. Or brief our styling team and arrive to find it already done.
