Champion Jet 2 was built in 1996 by Incat in Hobart, Australia originally for use by Condor Ferries then joint owned by Commodore Shipping of Guernsey and Holyman.

As a result of these problems the governments of Guernsey and Jersey put the licence to operate the service to England out to tender.

In August 2005 Condor Express briefly ran on the Brittany Ferries Poole-Cherbourg service.

She had been experiencing technical problems and so Condor Vitesse was transferred to the more taxing Channel Islands service.
