All About Condor Sailing Adventures

If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind sailing expedition, Condor Sailing Adventures is your spot. Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, anniversary, birthday, or just have a desire for fun, you won’t be disappointed!

Meet the Captain

One of Condor Sailing Adventures’ best parts is the friendly owner, Michael “Captain” Kirk. Captain Kirk has over 23 years of sailing experience, served in the Coast Guard, and is a happy resident of Pensacola, FL. He assures that when you set sail with him, you’re in for the most amazing, fun, relaxing sailing adventure ever!

A Ferrari on the Water

Captain Kirk’s prized possession is his pristine Condor racing trimaran, Dare II. Only twenty-one Condor 40’s were made in the whole world, making them a very rare boat. Condors are the fastest sailboats ever produced and were designed to be stable and safe to survive racing through the ocean. When you take a ride on Dare II, you won’t have to worry about getting seasick.

Daily Cruises

Are you ready to set sail through Pensacola Bay? Condor Sailing Adventures offers daily two-hour cruises during the day and at sunset. During your cruise, you can dangle your feet in the water, relax in comfortable chairs, or safely move around the boat. Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for dolphins and other marine life!
