Hobie Kayaks - PremiumKayaks.com

Kayaking is a popular activity useful for fishing, diving, and wilderness exploration due to the variety and adaptability of the kayak.

Replacing the uncomfortable paddle, Hobie Brand Kayaks are propelled by their MirageDrive pedal.

ABOUT KAYAKING

Kayaks are thought to be at least 4,000 years old, first used for hunting and transporting passengers or goods. Today kayaks are used for recreation purposes like fishing and exercise. Hobie Brand Kayaks are propelled using your legs instead of your arms. The MirageDrive pedal, with Glide Technology, can be adjusted to fit individuals, making kayaking easier than ever before.

KAYAK FISHING

Fishing from a kayak allows you to get into smaller areas where a boat cannot fit. They are also much quieter and less noticeable to fish since they don't have a motor and create a significantly smaller wake. A kayak also allows you to get closer to shore and cast parallel to the shoreline. In addition, a kayak is convenient in that there are no fuel, insurance, storage, or launch fees.

It offers every one of Hobie’s signal features, including one-of-a-kind Mirage pedal propulsion, the incredibly adjustable Vantage CT seat, and like all Hobie kayaks rotomolded from durable polyethylene, dual rod holders.

revo13-dune Hobie Revolution 13

A cruiser capable of taking on boisterous water, the Revolution 13 is a smooth, stable kayak that feels like one—one oozing go-all-day creature comforts such as the Vantage CT seat.

It is catchy too, with dual rod holders and plentiful tackle storage. If you crave a change of pace from hands-free MirageDrive motivation and pick up the paddle, the “Revo 13” still makes tracks. If this is a floating SUV, it’s one that loves a twisty, challenging track. The lightweight, rotomolded hull sings when under optional Sail kit power.

tandemisland-hibiscus Hobie Tandem Island

The puff of wind hits and the Hobie Mirage Tandem Island’s leeward ama chisels into the water, its efficient, square-topped mainsail immediately translating increased wind speed into extra boat speed.

The Tandem Island’s two-piece carbon composite rig minimizes weight aloft—thus stiffening the ride—and both cockpits are fitted with steerage and sail-handling controls, allowing sailors of all abilities to share the experience. Best yet, the Tandem Island is equipped with enough hatches and on-deck stowage for multi-day escapes. This is Hobie’s ultimate blue water hunter, capable of marlin-teasing trolling speeds.

kona-papaya Hobie Kona

The Hobie Kona is a round peg that fits many different holes: in two-person configuration, it provides a stable ride and snappy, spin-in-a-second performance; when paddling alone, the boat’s molded center seat keeps the boat sitting on her lines. The Kona’s rotomolded polyethylene hull couples a wide beam with a relatively short waterline, delivering the responsive, stable performance usually found on longer boats. Carrying handles and on-hull paddle storage simplify portaging, and the deluxe, adjustable padded seats support your back and encourage longer excursions.
