Hobie Mirage Island — detailed description
Capabilities
Pedal-and-sail trimaran kayak: MirageDrive pedal propulsion (hands free), roller‑furling mainsail, kick‑up rudder and fins, and foldable amas for quick beach or ramp launches.
Two formats:
Adventure Island (solo): lighter, minimalist, ideal for sporty coastal touring and overnight micro‑adventures.
Tandem Island (two‑seat): more buoyancy and stability, versatile for cruising, fishing, and long day trips with a partner.
Shallow‑water friendly: foils and rudder can lift; easy to switch between pedaling and sailing.
Recommended use
Coastal touring, lakes and estuaries, day‑cruising; silent exploration and photography; trolling or cast‑and‑retrieve fishing under pedal or sail power.
Simple logistics: beach dolly or small trailer; manageable solo (AI) or as a pair (TI).
Who it’s for
Paddlers and sailors who want to combine sailing with hands‑free pedaling and an easy learning curve.
Explorers, photographers, and anglers seeking stable, quiet access.
Outfitters or clubs offering seated sailing and guided outings (especially the TI).
Used‑market pricing (typical, USD; varies by region, condition, and gear)
Tandem Island (TI): about $4,800–$9,200; exceptional, late‑model or heavily outfitted boats can exceed ~$11,000.
Adventure Island (AI, solo): about $3,200–$6,500 for clean examples, depending on model year and accessories.
New reference points: recent model‑year packages commonly fall roughly in the $8,000–$12,000 span depending on model and local taxes; availability varies by market.
Quick buying tips
Inspect consumables: sail (furling smoothness), mast/sprit (play, impact marks), rudder cams, lines/shock‑cords, MirageDrive (shaft/bearing play, fin wear), hatch seals.
Check amas and crossbars (hinges and locks), kick‑up rudder action, centerboard/keel wear, seat rails, and hardware corrosion.
On‑water test if possible: deploy/fold amas, furl/unfurl sail, check pointing/leeway, and confirm you can return under pedals alone.
Plan transport: a beach dolly and/or a light road trailer simplifies launching and recovery; roof‑topping is challenging due to length and weight.
