Hobie Mirage Tandem Island
The Mirage Tandem Island is a two-person multisport boat that combines hands-free pedal power with sailing versatility. Equipped with dual MirageDrive 180 units and Turbo Kick-Up Fins, it delivers smooth forward and reverse pedaling—plus fins that automatically retract on impact—enabling reliable movement even in shallow or debris-filled water.
At 18'6" long with amas extended to a 10' beam, it offers impressive stability and space. It supports up to 600 lb capacity and weighs about 240 lb fully rigged (130 lb hull alone).
Built for both kayaking and sailing adventures, it features:
Pedal-drive propulsion from both cockpits
Steering and sail controls accessible from front or rear seats
Roller-furling mainsail, retractable centerboard, and island-style rudder system
Adjustable Vantage CT seats with inflatable lumbar support
Ample built-in storage: hatches, rod holders, cup holders, mesh pockets
Detachable crossbars and amas for compact transport
Why it stands out
Flexible propulsion: pedal when the wind dies, sail when it's strong—ideal for tacking or trolling
Ideal for two-person outings: Both paddling power and sail control are accessible from each seat
Rugged versatility: wheels across flat lakes, coastal cruising, fishing, or full-on sailing adventures
