Captain Kirk K.

Business Owner

Michael «Captain» Kirk. It’s a nickname that he’s had all his life, and it has come in handy as the owner and captain of Condor Sailing Adventures. Of course he has a starship of his own — a rare (only 21 built), amazing, world-​class Condor 40 trimaran that he’s owned since 2002. Her name is «Dare II»; and there’s a great story behind her name, but… you have to come sailing on Dare II to hear it!

Born in Cleveland, Tennessee, and happily a resident of Pensacola, FL, Captain Kirk has over 23 years of sailing experience (including a 35 day, 5,800 mile, nonstop transatlantic crossing on the Condor «Thunderbird»). His Coast Guard 100-​ton Master’s license, and years of experience, assure you of a safe, relaxing, sailing adventure.

Most importantly, Captain Kirk’s laid-​back, friendly nature, and a true passion for sharing the unique Condor sailing experience with others, means that «Sailing on a Condor 40 is absolutely the most amazing, fun, relaxing sailing adventure you’ll ever have.

My husband and I took our 2 teens (17 & 19) on Dare II. We enjoyed talking to and asking Captain Kirk a million questions as much as we loved sailing on Dare II. Captain Kirk is so knowledgeable about sailing and his passion for it is contagious (we are now thinking of buying a catamaran :) When we returned from our vacation, I asked my kids and husband, «What was their favorite thing that we did?» «Hands down» … Condor Sailing Adventures came in #1 with my family :) Thank you so very much Captain Kirk and Whitney! Wishing ya’ll the best always!!!

We really enjoyed sailing with Captain
Kirk! There was a couple to sail with us, but they got caught in traffic so we were able to sail solo. It was awesome! My husband gets sea sick and while on «DARE II», he had no issues. So much fun. Very hospitable. Below is part of the letter we sent to Captain Kirk and Whitney.
Captain Kirk and Whitney,
We would like to tell you what an awesome time we had on «DARE II»!
It was a perfect way to relax after a long week of conferences and keeping 2 rowdy three and four year olds happy while dad is away.
While in Pensacola, we told EVERYONE we came in contact with about the cruise and how awesome it was!
We have finally found a spot in Florida that we truly enjoy and will be visiting again. I’m pretty sure that you guys had something to do with that :)
Once again, thanks for your awesome work! When in town, we will cruise again.

Wonderful experience! Beyond what we expected. Captain Kirk takes the time to share his love of sailing. Our tour had a bonus, we got to watch the Blue Angels practice so it was as if we got our own personal air show. The kids were very comfortable on the boat and were able to move about without any issues. The kids even got to steer the boat.

This completely changed my mind about sailing. Previously, I’d only sailed on a lake and there was too much rocking and rolling for me… On a lake! This was a wonderful excursion. There was never a time that we didn’t feel safe. He explained sailing to us, without going into mind numbing detail. Just enough to keep it interesting. The sail was nothing but relaxing. Best of all, we got so many great pictures because Captain Kirk is a man with many talents, one of which seems to be photography. We didn’t even have to ask, he just grabbed our camera and started snapping photos. He was also better than our concierge. Our trip has been so much better thanks to his suggestions of things to do, and hasn’t cost us a penny more. I encourage everyone to try this!

My husband and I went out on a whim after finding on Unilocal and couldn’t have been happier. We went on the sunset cruise and there was only 2 other people. It is basically a private boating experience. We love boating, but have never sailed and it was exhilarating!
I get very motion sick usually so I was happy to not feel any waves and have a smooth ride. We’ve done other boating excursions and sunset cruises. I liked this better because you could move freely, hear great stories from the captain, dip your toes in the water and no annoying drunks! Plus, he brought us cupcakes from a local bakery! A night to remember!!!

We love this cruise! We have been repeatedly, each time with someone new. It is so neat to watch our friends & family enjoy this as much as we do. Captain Kirk is so knowledgable and passionate about his unique vessel as well as the city we all love to call home. The custom ordered cupcakes are such a nice touch! Super nice people to do business with. Proud to brag on them. This is a perfect idea to show people not lucky enough to live here how beautiful it really is, or to spend some time appreciating our water and sights. This would even be a great idea for a birthday, anniversary or even proposal moment. You won’t be disappointed as we are always a ill sad when it ends.

OMG… THE BEST… I can’t say enough about this trip!
We found Condor Sailing Adventures while browsing for things to do when on vacation at Pensacola Beach. As soon as we found this website, we were hooked! We wanted to sail, but were not happy about the thought of getting sea sick… and it’s true, gliding across the beautiful bay, the wind in our face (the heat index was 105… it felt great!), feet dangling in the water and NO SEA SICKNESS!
The fact we were on such a unique vessel, Captain Kirk is just a phenomenal person, definitely takes pride in his boat and his work! He was so easy to talk to, took great care of us (providing beverages, snacks, etc), took pictures of my husband and I, even let my husband drive (which thrilled him to NO end!), is a great source of information on the history of Pensacola as well as places to visit, and just generally fun to hang with!
Captain Kirk’s beautiful wife Whitney was a source of instant excitement when we booked the trip, (we booked online, she called maybe five minutes later… great customer service!) she got us so pumped to go not only on the Dare II, but just to the Pensacola area in general! We had the pleasure of meeting her after the trip, she is so nice, and TALENTED to boot! I apologize for the on-​running sentences. this is just such a cool experience. HIGHLY recommend you move this to the VERY top of your to do list if you are visiting the Pensacola area!
Thank you Captain Kirk and Whitney, we had a wonderful time~

Capt. Kirk is a true professional. An amazing experience for all ages. His boat is one of a very few in the world. I live in Pensacola and take advantage of Kirks charters for my staff and family. His charters make for a great gift as well. I encourage all to take of advantage of this amazing experience.

Great experience with Captain Kirk on his Windsor. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable sail last night. Although the boat could fit more, there’s a max of 6 passengers. (Due to a cancellation, we got a private cruise!!). My wife and I were looking for relaxation, and fun, not a drunken booze cruise– I did bring along a few beers however). Captain Kirks personality and local knowledge made it even more enjoyable. Thank you! Next time we will be sure to bring the kids.

I’ve taken sailing lessons and I much prefer to be a passenger! The Dare is a beautiful trimaran sailboat (Condor 40) and Capt Kirk is a talkative, knowledgeable, helpful captain. He loves his boat and to share his passion with his guests. He’ll also take the pictures you want in between tacks and steering!
He really did think of everything: wine glasses, cork screw (s), blankets, comfy moveable lounge chairs for the trampoline deck/​surface to just sit back and enjoy the ride in luxuriously. Seriously an enjoyable experience that I’d recommend for lovers, great friends, and families or just about anyone that likes a good relaxing view and enjoys being on the water.
Tips:
–Bring a jacket, the sailboat can go like the wind and it can get chilly when you are underway.
–You may get wet slightly so plan for that as a possibility.
–There is a bathroom on board, it’s a small and uncomfortable marine toilette so remember that when you are downing the wine!

Captain Kirk, has a fun laid-​back nature about himself that truly makes this sailing experience a memorable one for you, your family, or your special someone.
To spend time surrounded by the sea is time spent revisiting what and whom we are as people enveloped by our living ended past, magnificent in its presence.
Sailing forges a connection, tactile, elegant in its simplicity with a rolling past forever each moment. Being on the sea reminds us of an uncaring, mystical, and unforgiving presence which diminishes land lived contrivances of our own vanity.
The Condor 40 is roomy and has plenty of room to leisurely recline, stretch out, move around.
