Introducing: The Hobie Mirage Tandem Island

 

Start with a super fast, two-person kayak. Add a Hobie Mirage peddle drive, stabilizing floats and a wicked boomless sail and you have an adventure just waiting to happen.

 

Meet the Hobie Mirage Tandem Island. 

 

This boat is a thrill for experienced and novice sailors alike. Steer and sail the Tandem Island from either cockpit as you whip across the waves at speeds kayakers only dream of.

 

This award winning boat is a delight to handle. Make sure you demo one at our upcoming Hobie Days event! Adventure Island
