Hobie Kayaks Mirage Passport 10.5R

Affordable Hobie Kayak with Mirage Pedal Drive System

The Hobie Passport 10.5 R presents all the advantages of the Mirage Drive System within a streamlined kayak, offered at an exceptional price point. This compact, agile kayak is designed for individuals wanting to use a premium pedal system, without the additional accessories typically found in more high-end fishing kayaks. The Passport 10.5R effortlessly connects the Mirage Drive to the rotomoulded hull to allow for instant use. Measuring 10.5 feet in length, the Passport is relatively lightweight, to make car-topping and carrying to the water achievable for most. The hull shape has a strong primary stability and, easily maintains a straight trajectory (especially when the rudder is utilised), making it suitable for recreational touring, as well as for kayak fishing on sheltered waters.

The Passport 10.5 R has plenty of great features to be enjoyed, such as the Mirage Drive GT featuring Kick Up Fins. This drive system is designed to ensure simplicity, facilitating ease of use and easy maintenance. The crank arms are easily adjustable, accommodating users of varying heights. The Passport is also furnished with an aluminium frame mesh seat, that includes tilt adjustment, ensuring a comfortable sitting position. The rudder is manually deployed and retracted during launching and landing, with control provided via the steering handle located adjacent to the seat. The kayak features multiple storage compartments, including a large rear cargo area with bungee straps, a bow storage area also fitted with bungees, and an 8-inch Twist-N-Seal hatch positioned in front of the seat. Additional features comprise two flush mount rod holders, accessory mounting tracks alongside the footwell, carry handles at the bow, stern, and on both sides.
