As the Hobie Mirage Kayak line has evolved, it can be best understood by grouping the 9 models into three categories; SUV, Touring and Adventure Touring.
SUV Group-
The SUV group of Mirage kayaks are our most stableayaks. They’re a tad wider and a bit more boxier in their design than our touring kayaks. Whether you’re landing that lunker fish or you’re looking for the most stable platform on the water, the SUV kayaks are the right kayaks for you.

• Hobie Mirage i12S Inflatable
• Hobie Mirage i14T Inflatable Tandem
• Hobie Mirage Sport
• Hobie Mirage Outback
• Hobie Mirage Outfitter
Touring Group – The Touring group kayaks are our best paddling, Mirage kayaks. They have the sleekest lines and are quite noticeably the fastest boats in our line. Whether you’re looking for the most efficient boat to cover long distances or the easiest boat to circumnavigate the neighborhood pond the Touring group boats are the fastest, most efficient Mirage kayaks in the line.
• Hobie Mirage Revolution
• Hobie Mirage Adventure
• Hobie Mirage Oasis
Specialty Group – Mirage Adventure Island and the Mirage Pro Angler models are much more than “regular” kayaks.
It may sound like a cliché’ to describe the Pro Angler as the ultimate fishing machine but we think it is! Incredibly stable with room for all your rods and all your gear the Pro Angler will allow you to sneak up on the big ones in the quiet backwaters and will handle big water and waves better than any of our other fishing kayaks.

Hobie Kayaks Background:
Almost a decade ago Greg Ketterman’s skunk works kayak project created the very first Hobie Mirage Classic pedaling kayak. Back then no one could have known that the Mirage Kakyak Pedal Mechanism would grow into what it is today. From one model to twelve models in multiple lines, the Hobie Mirage line-up has evolved beyond just another brand of kayaks to an entire new sporting goods category.
Three things that jump out at you the first time you hop into a Hobie Mirage kayak
First, Hobie Mirage Pedalling Kayaks are much faster than you think they should be.
- speed achieved pedaling the mirage drive exceed the amount of effort you spend
Second, Hobie Kayaks are noticeably more stable than a like sized paddling kayak.
- When you pedal the mirage drive hydro sails, the back and forth motion under the kayak have a tremendous stabilizing effect over the kayak.
Third, with a Hobie Mirage Drive Kayak your hands are free!
- Mirage kayaks have a ergonomically located rudder and steering control
- Point the lever in the direction you want to go and the rudder immediately responds and turns the boat.
Kayak fishing enthusiasts are in heaven, they don’t have to hold a paddle. Nature photographers have a super silent sneak-up boat that can get them into the closest hard-to-get shots. And regular folks can eat, read, work the GPS or just cruise around without having to hold a paddle.
