Condor Ferries

Condor Ferries was founded in 1964 by Channel Islands' businessmen Peter Dorey and Jack Norman, to challenge the conventional ferry services operating between the Channel Islands and France.

Condor's first investment was an Italian built PT50 hydrofoil, Condor 1. Passengers were immediately impressed by the speed of the new service, and passenger numbers soon grew from 10,000 in 1964 to over 60,000 in 1966.

Condor continued to invest in new fast ferry technology through the 60's and 70's, and in mid 1987 ran it's first scheduled service between the Channel Islands and the UK.

In 1991 Condor introduced the revolutionary wave piercing catamaran on it's UK to Channel Islands service. In 1993 Condor introduced its first car-carrying wave-piercer - Condor 10, at a cost of £15 million.

Since 1994 Condor has introduced new car ferries virtually every year and now operates two of the world's most advanced ferries. To date the total investment is £60 million.

In 1999 Condor launched it's all-weather, all-year-round traditional car ferry service to give customers reliability, and a back up service when weather conditions prevent the fast ferries from sailing.
