The Hobie MirageDrive® In Action!

The MirageDrive has revolutionized kayak fishing. How? It has freed up your hands for fishing and allows you to fish more efficiently as you manuever your kayak with your feet. This efficient mechanism allows you to go faster and further with less effort than a paddle and the entire time you can have your fishing pole in your hands. Hold yourself in a ripping current as you place a cast or use the MirageDrive to drag that fish out of structure like mangroves or docks. The layout of Hobie’s fishing kayaks was designed by anglers for anglers, and now with the MirageDrive, a new breed of fishing vessel has emerged that is eco-friendly, quiet for stalking fish, and extremely durable and efficient.

We also rent the Evolve electric drive, which can be used to get you out onto the fishing grounds – fast – and then you can use the Mirage drive for fishing.

Pro Angler

Simply put, the Pro Angler is a no-nonsense fishing boat. The boat’s fishing specific hull form offers great stability, and its deck design is packed with the essentials – from an easy-to-reach cutting board, to the adjustable Cool Ride Seat, to space for 13 Plano® tackle boxes – for hundreds of perfect days afloat. The Pro Angler carries six of your rods in its horizontal rod stowage area, and its voluminous bow and stern lockers and on-deck storage provide an impressive 600-pound payload. The perfect boat for all fishing environments, from farm ponds to lakes to the open ocean.1

Sport

Diverse groups and agendas demand diverse options, and the versatile Hobie Sport plays to all audiences. The key is its moveable seat, which can be placed fore or aft to accommodate kayakers of all heights and ability levels. Hobie’s MirageDrive® system is standard, and the boat’s stable design facilitates a variety of activities, from a leisurely afternoon pedal to a relaxing evening of catching zephyrs using the optional Sail Package.1

Outback

Whether it’s work or play, the Outback boasts the functionality, stability and utility to get the job done. A wide hull provides form stability, allowing you to cast – or reel in the big one – without rocking the boat. The Outback features plenty of cargo and stowage space, and, thanks to its MirageDrive® system, your hands are free to tend to your photography, casting, or whatever else is on the day’s “work list”.1

Revolution

Fun meets form and function. Whether you’re in need of a nimble kayak, a floating SUV, or an all-out dragster for casually racing your friends, the Revolution® is ready to play. Featuring a lightweight, low-drag hull shape, the Revolution is designed to accelerate quickly and maintain speed with minimal effort; abovedeck, it’s designed for maximum hauling capacity. Three enclosed stowage spots (bow, midships and stern) and a generous stern cargo area facilitate everything from a quiet evening paddle to a multi-day adventure.1

Adventure

A long waterline, a tidy beam and the ability to quickly cover ground typify the Hobie Adventure experience. This long, lean touring kayak allows you to fly through the water, and its deck’s carefully positioned features, such as molded-in drink holders and mesh-covered stowage pockets, ensure a comfortable ride. New-model-year upgrades, such as a new rudder control and better lifting handles (compliments of the Tandem Island) make the boat even more of a pleasure to use, both on and off the water. The Adventure’s speed, range, ample storage space and ease-of-use will open up a new world of touring possibilities.1
