Hobie Mirage Adventure Island

Hobie ceased production of the Adventure Island sailing kayaks in 2021. Fortunately, the Hobie Tandem Island (2-person variant) is still available and can be sailed solo with no issue. 

Fast, fun and versatile, the Hobie Mirage® Adventure Island gives you options. Unbolt the akas and amas and you have a super-quick, super-fun kayak; attach the new Aka II die-cast crossbars and ama side floats, step the sailing rig and you have a stable sailing craft whose seafaring heritage stretches back to the South Pacific. A roller-furling, vertically battened mainsail makes reducing sail a snap, and the MirageDrive® provides power when the wind is light or when you’re kayaking. A daggerboard prevents lateral slip, an upgraded rudder and rudder assembly provides plenty of helm control in a breeze and the amas easily fold parallel against the hull to simplify negotiating tight spots or docking.
