**SAIL**
We provide catamaran sailing cruises on Darwin Harbour.
Our specially designed tourism catamaran Kuru, provides an enjoyable way to experience Darwin harbour. This unique harbour experience allows you to sit back and enjoy cool sea breezes, precious time with family, friends, work colleagues and your work clients.
Some on the harbour say they sail, we actually do! Our harbour route is governed by the wind as well as the strong tides experienced in the harbour. Obviously, if there is no wind we cannot sail. This happens occasionally. During the wet season, the route may be changed or we may even have to cancel due to weather conditions and tides. We do not want to have an uncomfortable experience for clients.
We sometimes use Cherry Pie our other catamaran if Kuru is unavailable.
**CONNECT**
Our vessels provide a great venue to connect with your family, friends or work colleagues.
Relax and take in the harbour’s natural beauty, while enjoying a cold beverage on one of our daytime, sunset, or city lights sailing cruises. We provide one of the best venues in town for social outings with our sailing catamarans on Darwin Harbour. Our catamarans provide a unique venue for you to get together with your friends, workmates or family. If you are visiting Darwin or live here, our unique “on the water” venue experience can help you celebrate that special social occasion.
**DISCOVER**
If you are interested in Darwin's early history, heritage points our crew are more than happy to chat with you and point out these harbour sights. They can provide a complimentary history strip map on the cruise to allow you to discover these points along the harbour foreshore.
If you are really lucky you may encounter some harbour wildlife like birds, turtles, dolphins or dugong.
On our return to the harbor, guests will have a relaxing sail (wind dependent) while dinner is prepared for dinner guests and everyone gets ready to witness the magical Darwin sunset (each month we also have a magnificent moonrise from the eastern side of the Harbour). On our return sail/cruise to Cullen Bay guests will be able to view the city lights and our crew can point out interesting planets and constellations visible in the night sky.
