Come Sail Away with Captain Kirk on the Condor - Upon returning to Pensacola Beach we wanted to try out a new activity. We have been on various boating excursions. As my husband has wanted to sail, I sought out charters and found Captain Kirk of the Condor sailing world. Seating is limited to 6, minimum of 4 per outing which makes for a very intimate experience. The Captain keeps safety in mind at all times, monitoring the updated weather forecasts, provides history of this watercraft, and allows customers to learn the ropes and help steer as he remains at the helm. Prices are competitive and worth every penny. Highly recommend Condor Sailing with Captain Kirk and look forward to taking another sail upon our return next year.

Spectacular Sunset Cruise - My husband and I booked the sunset cruise. It was delightful, relaxing, and fun! We spotted so many dolphins; several swam close to the boat. The sailing was smooth; only one other couple was on it with us and Captain Kirk. It was the best sunset cruise ever! We will book again.

Perfect Ending to a Great Day - Captain Kirk moved us from the afternoon sail to the sunset due to weather and the sail was perfect. We saw and heard dolphins, and while the sunset had clouds, the colors were beautiful with soft pinks and corals. His sailboat was so smooth and he even let us sail. We took our granddaughter and both my husband and granddaughter thought it was the perfect ending to the day. I would do it again, it was wonderful.

BEST EXCUSION OF THE TRIP! - Captain Kirk runs a top notch experience! Everything was perfect. It was worth the money. He covers every detail and is so patient. It is hard to believe he has been doing this for years. He clearly loves his job. We all got to sail the boat and we saw lots of dolphin! Wear shorts and a light breezy top and adjustable hat. A swimsuit alone, would not have be appropriate on this classy voyage. Thanks Capt. Kirk! You run a class act, my friends were so impressed with our bougie adventure.

Condor Sailing Adventure is a must in Pensacola Fl - This was an amazing adventure. We took the sunset cruise. It was like we were sitting on the water, it was so smooth, no leaning. Captain Kirk was so wonderful. He took pictures for us, has drinks and snacks on the Condor. He is very friendly and great to talk with as well. This is a must do when you visit Pensacola Florida.

Very relaxing cruise. - Very relaxing trip. The Dare II is an impressive sail boat. Very stable and rides great. Captain Kirk (no relation to James T.), but he did get my red shirt joke, is a very knowledgeable sailor, and explains the workings of the boat as he is going through the maneuvers. We had a great time. Unfortunately the weather didn't want to cooperate and we had to come back early, but we were reimbursed for the short trip. Highly recommend this cruise. My wife and I will definitely go back out the next time we are in Pensacola. Only six passengers, so it is not crowded, and you get to move around the boat and sit on the outer hulls. More expensive than the bigger ships where you have 40+ people, but this is more intimate, and you are closer to the action. Well worth the money.

Missed due to weather, but good experience - Unfortunately, our cruise was canceled due to weather. However, we were more than satisfied with the level of communication Captain Kirk provided the day of our scheduled cruise. He clearly had the safety of the passengers in mind and kept us updated as our departure time approached on if we'd be able to depart and offered to book us on the next excursion the same day. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side and the 2nd tour was canceled due to weather also. Captain Kirk apologized and issued a full refund quickly after we canceled.

- A truly unforgettable experience!
I highly recommend setting sail with Condor Sailing for an adventure in the bay. The vessel is not only stunning but incredibly comfortable. Captain Kirk is both knowledgeable and genuinely invested in creating a memorable experience for every guest. We learned about the art of sailing, spotted dolphins, and relaxed with cold drinks while enjoying the cool bay breeze.
What stood out most was Captain Kirk’s commitment to safety. He made it clear that he does not sail in inclement weather—a refreshing contrast to businesses that sometimes prioritize profit over safety.
I had four teenagers with me, and every single one of them had a fantastic time—no small feat! If you're in the area and looking for a fun, relaxing, and safe way to enjoy the water, Condor Sailing is the way to go. Thank you, Captain Kirk, for an exceptional day on the bay!

Great family experience! - Really cool sailboat that made it smooth and comfortable on water. We were lucky enough to dolphins multiple times and even had one chase our boat for a bit. Captain Kirk was very accommodating and had some good advise on where to go in town. We made some great memories for the whole family!
