Hobie Kayaks Passport 10.5 R

Compact Mirage Drive Pedal Kayak

The Hobie Passport 10.5 R is a compact pedal-driven sit-on-top kayak designed to make Hobie’s MirageDrive experience more accessible without sacrificing performance. Built for anglers, recreational paddlers, and anyone wanting efficient hands-free propulsion, the Passport 10.5 R combines stability, simplicity, and practical features into an easy-to-manage platform. Its shorter length and lighter weight make it ideal for solo loading, smaller vehicles, and tighter waterways.

At the heart of the Passport 10.5 R is the proven MirageDrive GT with Glide Technology and Kick-Up Fins, delivering smooth, efficient pedal propulsion with Hobie’s signature reliability. The Kick-Up Fins automatically retract on impact and redeploy once clear, making shallow water, submerged obstacles, and shoreline launches far less stressful. Paired with the responsive steering system and Twist-and-Stow rudder, the Passport is agile and easy to handle whether you’re fishing, touring, or exploring.

The newly shaped rotomoulded polyethylene hull offers excellent primary stability and reassuring on-water confidence, making it a great choice for newer pedal kayakers or anglers wanting a stable casting platform. The breathable Vantage CTW seat improves all-day comfort, while integrated accessory tracks, rod holders, storage hatches, and rear cargo space make it easy to customise for fishing or day trips. At just under 30kg hull weight, it remains one of the most portable pedal kayaks in the Hobie range.

For paddlers looking for an affordable entry into pedal-powered kayaking, the Hobie Passport 10.5 R delivers genuine Hobie performance in a compact and user-friendly package. Whether you're fishing inland waters, cruising sheltered estuaries, or covering ground efficiently without a paddle in hand, it offers a practical and capable way to get on the water.
