Mirage series

The simple Kayak was born perfect. Light, nimble and easy to use, kayaks paddled through the ages virtually unchanged. An old design Maxim says that perfection is achieved when there is nothing left to remove. The Hobie design teams reponse? Get rid of the paddle. Welcome to the world of the Hobie MirageDrive. The ungainly paddle is replaced by the sheer efficiency of the pedal. With the largest human muscle group now in play, kayaking becomes easier and more efficient than ever. Two pedals dive a pair of underwater fins – much like a penguin’s flippers. Whether snapping up to speed with a quick burst or steadily covering expanses of water, the MirageDrive allows effortless freedom and function. Take a look at some of the great options we have available.

Mirage Sport

Here's a boat that can adjust to your every need and size. With its movable seat mount, this lightweight pedalling kayak can be adapted to fit paddlers from age six to eighty, from four feet to over six and everyone between. Pedal it, paddle it or sail it if you're looking for the boat that can do it all, for all, the Mirage Sport is the perfect fit.


Mirage Pro Angler

Ever wanted to gain access to the next new honey-hole but just couldn’t quite figure out how to get there? How about seeing that sweet spot back through the woods, brush or shallows that you couldn’t reach with a traditional boat? Better yet, what about that area that you’ve been dying to get down to, but there was no launch ramp or road leading down to the waters edge? Even worse, how about that absolutely perfect spot that has been closed off to traditional motorized boats?

Look no further, your answer has arrived. Introducing the new Hobie Mirage Pro Angler. One of the world's lightest, most efficient, featured-filled boats on the market today. A revolutionary design breakthrough with extraordinary stability. It has everything you need to maximize your angling experience without sacrificing comfort, functionality or storage capabilities.

The Pro Angler comes loaded with features that puts it in a class by itself. With a capacity of over 600 lbs., you can bring it all. Protected horizontal storage for up to six rods and two additional vertical rod holders. Space for 13 Plano® tackle boxes, three in-hull storage compartments, plus an additional large on-deck storage area for an optional livewell or cooler. You get a fully-adjustable, breathable Cool Ride seat, a work area/cutting board and replaceable mounting boards on each side to attach your fish finder, GPS, lights, or downriggers. The Pro Angler is powered by the Hobie MirageDrive™, which allows you to enjoy fishing without the noise and expense of a gas engine. 

 

Mirage Outfitter

With its innovative design features and building on the success of the Hobie Mirage Outback, the Mirage Outfitter is the kayak everyone has been asking for. Built for two but also perfect for the solo user, the Outfitter was designed so everything you need is precisely where you want it. Now is the time with your favourite friend.

 

Mirage Adventure Island

It is with great pleasure that we announce the newest addition to our product line-up, The Hobie Mirage Adventure Island, a 16' Trimaran "Sail/yak" that incorporates the patented Hobie MirageDrive ™ into a unique sailing machine unlike any other sailing craft on the water. 

Here are the features that make the Adventure Island so special:

A boomless, roller-furling sail rig similar to the rig on the Hobie Bravo with plenty of sail area for excellent performance, completely manageable from the cockpit with the pull of a line.

Two retractable amas that fold up against the side of the boat, again with the simple pull of a line, for easy docking, maneuverability, and transport.

The cockpit is the stable platform of the Hobie Mirage Adventure Kayak, offering full versatility as a pedaling kayak when conditions are not convenient for sailing. All 2007 model year Adventure Kayaks, including the Fish model, will have inserts molded into the hulls so that they may be upgraded to an Adventure Island with a kit available through the Parts Department. The ama colors will be limited, and the Adventure Island will cost more when purchased via an upgrade kit rather than purchased initially as a complete boat package.

The Hobie Mirage Drive allows the boat to be pedaled while under sail, or simply pedaled with the sail furled for versatility not found in any other sailboat.

The Adventure Island is loaded with additional standard features such as a daggerboard; oversized "Twist and Stow" rudder; Mast and Sail Cover; and an Aka/Daggerboard Bag.

The Adventure Island will be offered in two color packages: Golden Papaya and Red Hibiscus. Both options include beautifully color-coordinated sails.
