MirageDrive System. The MirageDrive system is the heart of the Hobie Tandem Island. It utilizes pedal power to propel the boat forward, eliminating the need for a traditional sail. This system offers exceptional control and maneuverability, allowing you to navigate through tight spaces and shallow waters with ease. The MirageDrive system also includes a reverse gear, giving you the ability to make precise adjustments to your course.

Removable Amas. The Hobie Tandem Island features removable amas, or outriggers, which provide stability and prevent capsizing. These amas can be easily detached, transforming the boat into a kayak for solo adventures or for navigating narrow waterways. The ability to remove the amas makes transporting and storing the Tandem Island a breeze.

Vantage CT Seating. Comfort is key when spending hours on the water, and the Hobie Tandem Island delivers with its Vantage CT seating system. These adjustable seats provide excellent lumbar support and can be customized to your preferred position. The breathable mesh fabric ensures ventilation and prevents discomfort, even during long hours of sailing.

Sail Options. While the MirageDrive system allows for sail-free sailing, the Hobie Tandem Island also offers the option to hoist a sail. The sail rig is easy to set up and can be operated by a single person. With its powerful sail, you can harness the wind's energy and enjoy exhilarating speeds on the water.

Onboard Storage. The boat features multiple hatches, including a large bow hatch and a rear cargo area, providing easy access to your gear. Whether you're bringing along camping equipment, fishing gear, or picnic supplies, the Tandem Island has the space to accommodate your needs.
