MIRAGE DRIVE TM

Captain Kayak is a Hobie Kayak authorized Dealer featuring the patented MirageDrives. All Hobie Kayak accessories and parts are available through our sales department.

Benefits of the Hobie MirageDrive

The MirageDrive is simple and easy to use.Your feet rest naturally on the pedals and you pedal effortlessly similar to a bicycle. The larger muscles in our legs produce more powerful propulsion versus arms using a paddle. In addition, correct paddle usage requires training and practice. You also stay drier as pedaling eliminates drips that you get from using a paddle. The MirageDrive is quiet and creates no splash. The Hobie MirageDrive leaves your hands free for fishing, photography, or viewing wildlife with binoculars.

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 MirageDriveTM  into a unique sailing machine unlike any other sailing craft on the water. Adventure Island Video

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 Ama/Daggerboard Bag.
  • The Adventure Island will be offered in two color packages: Golden Papaya and Red Hibiscus. Both options include beautifully color-coordinated sails.
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, feature-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.

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.
