Hobie Mirage Tandem Island - 2023 Model
The ultimate versatile water craft for sailing fun, kayaking expeditions and fishing. The Tandem Island is geared up for two with dual Mirage Drive 180's with Kick Up Fins and two super comfortable Vantage CT seats. The mirage drives features Kick Up fins which will automatically kick up should they bottom out or hit an object underwater so that you don't have to worry as you use your craft. The Tandem Island is predominantly designed for sailing with a sleek 18ft 6in hull featuring two outrigger AMAs on AKA bars that can fold against the hull if needed for docking and tighter spaces. Unbolt the akas and amas and you have a super-quick, super-fun tandem pedal drive kayak - attach the AKAs and AMAs, un-furl the 90sqft mainsail and you have a stable sailing craft that is very capable of covering long distances on the coast and performing open sea crossings. Stable in the rough and fun to ride on long period ocean swells. Able to sail in even the lightest winds, the Tandem Island is great fun and can be used by novice sailors with ease and is great for learning the ropes and get to grips with even if you have never sailed before.
The sail features a a roller-bearing furling 18ft carbon mast for great performance and easy un-furling and reefing. A drop-down centreboard board prevents lateral slip and the large sailing rudder and rudder assembly provides plenty of helm control in a breeze. The AMAs easily fold parallel against the hull to make negotiating tight spots or docking. All sailing, centreboard and rudder controls can be operated from the seating positions so that you can sit back in the super comfortable Vantage CT seats and sail away into the distance.
Want to make a proper adventure of it? This is the ultimate expedition kayak for escaping for a multi day adventure! A large bow hatch and three 8in Twist-N-Seal hatches give access to the inside of the hull and the large rear cargo area offers lots of on-deck storage and can carry the Hobie H-Crate if needed. Add the optional Hobie Trampoline Kits to run between the AKA bars to create lots of extra space for a extra passengers and the ability to put your weight out over the AMAs when sailing to better engage the hull in certain conditions.
This is a great craft for sailing and kayaking fun with the family to serious expedition adventures. The Tandem Island can do it all!
Here are the features that make the Tandem Island so special.
- A boomless, roller-furling sail rig similar to the rig on the Hobie Bravo with plenty of sail area for excellent performance, completely manageable from the cockpit with the pull of a line.
- Two retractable AMAs that fold up against the side of the boat, again with the simple pull of a line, for easy docking, manoeuvrability, and transport.
- No wind for sailing? No problem! Use the dual Mirage Drives to cruise the waters in style.
- The Hobie Mirage Drive allows the boat to be pedaled while under sail, or simply pedaled with the sail furled for versatility not found in any other sailboat.
- The Tandem Island is loaded with additional standard features such as a centre board, oversized sailing rudder, Mast and Sail Cover, several hatches and storage areas.
