Sailing on Darwin Harbour

Sailing Darwin

Kuru sailing Darwin harbour

Looking for something to do in Darwin, and wondered ..?

  • As a visitor to Darwin how can I see the harbour and learn about some Darwin history and hopefully see some wildlife.
  • What can we do that is different?
  • How can we entertain our visiting family, friends or visitors?
  • What to organise for a social get together with the girls/mates !

Or...

  • It is anniversary time / mothers / fathers day and I want to do something different and romantic!
  • My staff have been really working hard lately, I need to reward them!
  • Life has been so busy lately, the family need a re-charge!

Well at City of Darwin Cruises we have an unique alternative social sailing venue to offer you. We also do relaxing sunset dinner cruises.

Come along and join one of our cataraman sailing tours experiences.

Our sailing options with pricing

Have a look at our sailing vessel Kuru

We operate from Cullen bay marina which has many advantages for our clients such as free and ample parking, proximity to town, a range of restaurants and bars, good public transport, easy walk to board our vessel, a marina lock experience on exiting the marina.

On the flip side our operational costs in Cullen Bay Marina are quite high and it is difficult for us to sail with small numbers especially mid week. One benefit for our clients is that we encourage you to get together and book as a group to enjoy a price discount.

So get together with friends, work associates or fellow hotel guests to create a group of more than 10. We are able to sail any day with groups. If you cannot arrange up to 10 people still give us a call as we may have others on a wait list.

Group discount prices

Sunset nibbles, bbq meal, 3 free glasses of white wine, or 3 mid strength beers, for 10 to 40 people - $109 pp

Sunset nibbles Cruise with 3 free glasses of white wine, or 3 mid strength beers, for 10 to 40 people - $79 pp

If you would like to have a private charter then have a look at our charter pages.
