MIRAGE TANDEM ISLAND

Hop aboard with a friend. With dual MirageDrive 180s providing forward and reverse pedal power, maneuvering is a snap even when the zephyrs subside. Our patented Kick-Up Fins automatically “kick-up” on contact with an underwater obstacle and automatically adjust back into place once clear. The central hull is pure high-end Hobie with all the expected features: multiple Twist and Seal hatches, a large bow hatch for below-decks storage, lever-operated rudder and centerboard deployment and dual rudder control. This is Hobie’s ultimate fish hunter, capable of marlin teasing trolling speeds.

From: $ 12,290.00

Hobie Logo

Pedal, Paddle & Sail – the Hobie Tandem Island (TI) can do it all. The TI is the most capable craft Hobie make and is an incredible boat for couples, families and friends. Use it as a kayak (hull only), outrigger (single ama) or full sailing trimaran!

Hobie Mirage Tandem Island

Hobie Tandem Island Trimaran Sailing Kayak

The Hobie Tandem Island Mirage trimaran sailing kayak is the two-seater big brother to the Adventure Island (AI), which was designed and built by Hobie due to popular demand. The ‘TI’ as it is otherwise known is bigger, faster, more stable and offers greater carrying capacity and versatility. The TI is a tandem trimaran sailing vessel that is easily the most capable Hobie Miragedrive boat, partly because it can also be used as a kayak and Polynesian-style outrigger as well as a sailing trimaran. The ability to configure the TI to suit the conditions on the day makes it a highly capable craft that can do more in a greater variety of conditions.

Whether you’re into maximizing your kayak fishing adventures or simply just love to sail (but cannot afford, store, transport or bother with a larger Hobie catamaran ) the Tandem Island commands your attention

Hobie Tandem Island

Used as a kayak the Hobie Tandem Island is the fastest tandem model in Hobie’s fleet, as well as being the most stable. As an outrigger it is even more stable and doesn’t suffer too much from a loss of speed. When there is little or no wind the TI can be used to great effect in either configuration, ideal for touring, sight-seeing, kayak fishing and camping trips. When the wind is blowing, however, the TI absolutely shines in it’s default state as a trimaran. Light winds will move the TI along at a steady pace and stronger winds will push it along with eyebrow raising speeds, the respective experience ranging from serenely relaxing to downright thrilling.

Mirage® Adventure Island

trimaran hobie tandem island mirage

trimaran hobie tandem island mirage

Mirage® Adventure Island Description

An absolute joy on the water, the Hobie Mirage Adventure Island is an impressively approachable trimaran sailing kayak. A roller-furling, vertically battened mainsail provides lift, a retractable centerboard prevents lateral slip, and the larger amas tuck parallel against the rotomolded polyethylene hull for docking. Multiple hatches, on-deck stowage and Vantage CT Seating encourage multi-day adventures, and the MirageDrive 180 with ALL-NEW Kick-Up Fin Technology offers paddle-free locomotion when the wind scatters, making it easy to get home. The "AI" is an exceptional bluewater-capable fishing platform. Equip the accessory trampoline kit for walk-around stability. Flexible too; use it with just a single ama or leave the sail at home to pedal or paddle.

Tandem Island FAQ

How fast can a hobie tandem island go.

The Hobie Tandem Island (TI) is capable of sailing speeds of up to 20 kilometres per hour or approximately 11 knots in favourable winds and conditions. Under pedal power, the TI is one of the fastest pedal kayaks on the water thanks to its dual Mirage Drives with turbo fins and narrow hull form for minimal drag.

Can one person use a Hobie Tandem Island?

Despite being a tandem 2-person kayak, the Hobie Tandem Island is well suited to single-person use thanks to its simple and easy-to-manage sailing systems.

With replicated controls for steering and lowering/retracting the rudder from both cockpits and the ability to control the furling and sheeting systems from either seat, you do not need 2 people to sail this craft.

The narrow low-drag hull profile is easily propelled by a single MirageDrive 180 pedal system thanks to its excellent efficiency and turbo fins as standard. Hobie’s intelligent design means set up of the AMA outriggers, mast and sailing systems can easily be achieved alone with minimal fuss or wasted time.

Can you fish from the Hobie Tandem Island?

The Tandem Island (TI) makes an excellent fishing platform for when you need to efficiently cover ground to get to the fishing area. This speed and efficiency make it perfect for trolling, particularly for offshore pelagic species.

The TI is super stable thanks to its 2 AMA outriggers which means you can stand and even walk on the trampolines if you’ve got them, with confidence.

Combine all this with an unbeatable carrying capacity and built-in features like the dual rod holders and fish-finder transducer mount and the TI is a highly capable hybrid fishing and sailing kayak. Check out this video of an incredible Black Marlin tagged off Jervis Bay from a TI

Can you car-top a Hobie Tandem Island?

Car-topping Hobie’s tandem island is a good option for those with a suitable vehicle who don’t want the added expense of a dedicated trailer.

Thanks to Hobie’s intelligent design, the AMA outriggers can be conveniently folded into the hull providing a maximum width of just 1.22 m. Alternatively, the AMAs and the AKA arms can be completely removed with zero tools to reduce the hull weight to just 59 kg.

Loading aids such as the T-Loader from Rhino can take almost all of the effort out of loading and unloading the craft from your roof racks, perfect for solo users or anyone looking to simplify the process.

Is the Tandem Island easy to sail?

Hobie designed their Tandem Island to be incredibly easy to sail making it a perfect craft for even the most novice sailors.

The simplicity of the controls which include single-line roller furling to quickly and conveniently roll the sail away or adjust the amount of sail out, provides total control at all times.

The inherent stability of the trimaran design makes the boat very user-friendly even as the wind builds. The dual MirageDrive 180s with turbo fins means you’ve always got reliable propulsion which makes picking up sailing and navigating in the tighter areas so much easier.

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.
