Research 2014 - Hobie Cat Boats - Mirage Adventure Island

~Mirage Adventure Island

The Adventure Island blends timeless design with Hobie innovation. Kayaks and trimarans provide truly outstanding ways of enjoying the water—the Hobie Mirage Adventure Island combines these joys in one easy-to-use package.

Detach the crossbars, akas and amas and you have an adventure-touring kayak; reattach it all, step the rig and you have a nimble trimaran. A roller- furling, vertically battened mainsail provides lift, a daggerboard prevents lateral slip, and the amas tuck parallel against the rotomolded polyethylene hull for docking. Multiple hatches and on-deck stowage encourage multi-day adventures, and the MirageDrive offers paddle-free locomotion when kayaking or when the wind scatters, making it easy to get home. It also makes for a great fishing platform.
