Hobie's MirageDrive technology. The MirageDrive pedal system is the heart of the Hobie Tandem Island. It utilizes pedal power to propel the boat forward, in addition to, or instead of using the sail. The MirageDrive system also includes a reverse gear, giving you the ability to make precise adjustments to your course.
Sail Options. The Roller-furling mainsail 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. The lightweight carbon-fiber mast is easy to set up, tear down, and makes storage a piece of cake.
Removable Amas. The Hobie Tandem Island features removable amas, or outriggers. When connected, they provide stability and prevent capsizing. These amas can be easily detached, transforming the boat into a Hobie pedal kayak for 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.
Onboard Storage. The boat features multiple hatches, including a large bow hatch and a rear cargo area, providing easy access to your gear. Accessory trampoline kit turns the amas into deck space for gear or another friend. Whether you're bringing along camping equipment, fishing gear, or picnic supplies, the Tandem Island has the space to accommodate your needs.
