I believe the answer is:

yacht club

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'craft group' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'catch heartless bully out?' is the wordplay.
'heartless' means to remove the middle letters.
'out?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'out of' mean this).
'bully' with its middle taken out is 'buly'.
'catch'+'buly'='catchbuly'
'catchbuly' is an anagram of 'YACHT-CLUB'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yacht club that I've seen before include "where seamen gather" , "Genteel boating society" , "sailors may meet here" , "Seafaring group" , "Group of sailors" .)
