Hobie Kayaks Adventure Island

Now obsolete with Hobie, this is the last Single Seat Hobie Mirage Adventure Island in our stock

An absolute joy on the water, the Hobie Mirage Adventure Island is an impressively approachable trimaran sailing kayak.

The Hobie Mirage Adventure Island is based on the tried and tested design of the Adventure kayak but with two outriggers added. It has a fast, sleek hull and excellent stability, making it a very popular choice for covering long distances. It’s great to paddle and pedal, but really comes into its own when sailed.

With the sail, the Adventure Island features a boomless, roller-furling sail rig with 5.34 square metres of sail area, which provides excellent performance that is completely manageable from the cockpit with the pull of a line. The sail will reduce in size to suit all abilities and wind strengths up to a force 4. Two retractable amas or outriggers can fold up against the side of the boat with the simple pull of a line for easy transport, docking and manoeuvrability.

The Hobie Adventure Island has been designed with ease of use in mind. Well placed lifting handles make this kayak simple to car-top. On arrival you can just wheel it into the water, fix the outriggers with pop-on arm, drop the rudder, unfurl the sail and off you go.
