City of Darwin Cruises Pty Ltd is owned and operated harbour cruise business since 2002 by Territorians (over 42 years), Les, Leslee and Jevon Reif. We commenced operating sunset, daytime and charter cruises on their original vessel EcoVenture, a SeaWind 1000 in 2002 after purchasing in 2001.

Darwin Harbour with its well-known top end sunset combined with a cool sea breeze (in the sails) might just provide that perfect backdrop for the best social venue in Darwin for your next occasion.Our sailing catamarans KURU and CHERRY PIE provide a great venue with a unique platform and an ever-changing backdrop encompassing views of Darwin, the harbour foreshore, mangrove environments and sensational sunsets combined with wet season storms.
Dugong in Fannie Bay The Australian Government Environment web site describes the species profile and threats for dugong around Australia. As sailing Tourism Operators for the past 15 years it has always been an absolute pleasure to observe dugongs feeding in Fannie Bay. Dugongs are medium-sized marine mammal.

Sailed on the Kuru and didn't disappoint. Beautiful boat and relaxed helpful crew.
Throughout the booking process Les was friendly and understanding when we had to change the date. Finally got there and so glad we did.

Have been on this sunset cruise with my interstate guests regularly over the years. It is consistently fabulous, a stunning afternoon on the water in a laid back atmosphere. We BYO and have nibbles which suits us. The staff are great fun and booking communication is seamless. As a local, I have been on a range of different cruises and this is by far my fav for it’s relaxed vibe. Thanks Les and team! -Thalia

Jev and Matt were excellent hosts, made us feel very welcome, comfortable and safe. The catamaran was complete with toilet which had a great window view, very neat and clean. Jev’s platter of nibblies was delicious, especially enjoyed the green olives. The fact that we could take our own esky of beers made a huge difference as we could enjoy the drinks!! The sunset was spectacular. Highly recommend this while you’re in Darwin!!

What a fantastic Darwin experience! Jevon and his crew provided a comfortable, fun and friendly sunset cruise with plenty of nibbles. Highly recommend this cruise to first timers or seasoned sunset cruisers. BYO drinks ensures you can drink exactly what you want too.
