More Details

Looking for a super-fun multisport boat for two? Meet the Hobie Mirage Tandem Island. The Tandem Island is a super-fast, two-person kayak. Attach the AKA crossbeams, the AMA outrigger floats and the two-piece 5.49 m / 18' carbon fibre rig and sailing kit (all included), and you and your partner will be flying across the water, powered by a roller furling, boomless 8.4 m² / 90 ft² mainsail. A drop-down centreboard keeps you running true, and the large sailing rudder allows you to steer and control the craft with ease. Both cockpits have steering and sail-control lines, making the Tandem Island ideal for partners of all abilities.

The Tandem Islands AMAs, AKAs and sailing rig are easily stripped from the hull, converting the Tandem Island into a highly efficient, pedal-or paddle-powered touring kayak. The boat's generous storage space and carrying capacity means that your adventure potential is huge. You have a large front bow hatch, three twist-n-stow hatches and a rear cargo area with bungees. You really can load up and head out for an extended trip exploring the coast or larger inland waters.

No wind? No problem! Use the Mirage Drive 180 pedal systems to keep moving and enjoying your time on the water. The drive systems feature forwards and reverse, and you can switch between both modes at the simple pull of a toggle. The drives feature smooth roller bearing glide technology for easy pedalling and reduced wear, with Kick Up fins for hassle-free peddling - the fins knock up out of harms way should you accidentally strike an object underwater. The fins included are the longer turbo fins for the best performance. Want to go fishing? The TI comes with two flush rod holders, and the Lowrance-Ready system for easy fish finder installation using a built-in transducer mounting space and system of thru-hull cable seals.

The Tandem Island is a serious piece of kit for those wanting to have maximum fun on the water with a craft that can be sailed, pedalled or paddled. There are a whole host of add-on accessories to really make this into the ultimate adventure craft, including trampoline kits for the outriggers, spinnaker kit for enhanced sailing performance, launching dollies, hiking stick for steering control from the outriggers (when tramps are fitted) and much more!

Please Note: Due to the size & weight of the Tandem Island you might want to consider waterside storage or a small trailer for transportation.
