Mirage® Adventure Island

Mirage® Adventure Island Description

An absolute joy on the water, the Hobie Mirage Adventure Island is an impressively approachable trimaran sailing kayak. A roller-furling, vertically battened mainsail provides lift, a retractable centerboard prevents lateral slip, and the larger amas tuck parallel against the rotomolded polyethylene hull for docking. Multiple hatches, on-deck stowage and Vantage CT Seating encourage multi-day adventures, and the MirageDrive 180 with ALL-NEW Kick-Up Fin Technology offers paddle-free locomotion when the wind scatters, making it easy to get home. The "AI" is an exceptional bluewater-capable fishing platform. Equip the accessory trampoline kit for walk-around stability. Flexible too; use it with just a single ama or leave the sail at home to pedal or paddle.

Hobie Tandem Island

From: $ 12,290.00

Pedal, Paddle & Sail – the Hobie Tandem Island (TI) can do it all. The TI is the most capable craft Hobie make and is an incredible boat for couples, families and friends. Use it as a kayak (hull only), outrigger (single ama) or full sailing trimaran!

Hobie Tandem Island Trimaran Sailing Kayak

The Hobie Tandem Island Mirage trimaran sailing kayak is the two-seater big brother to the Adventure Island (AI), which was designed and built by Hobie due to popular demand. The ‘TI’ as it is otherwise known is bigger, faster, more stable and offers greater carrying capacity and versatility. The TI is a tandem trimaran sailing vessel that is easily the most capable Hobie Miragedrive boat, partly because it can also be used as a kayak and Polynesian-style outrigger as well as a sailing trimaran. The ability to configure the TI to suit the conditions on the day makes it a highly capable craft that can do more in a greater variety of conditions.

Whether you’re into maximizing your kayak fishing adventures or simply just love to sail (but cannot afford, store, transport or bother with a larger Hobie catamaran ) the Tandem Island commands your attention

Used as a kayak the Hobie Tandem Island is the fastest tandem model in Hobie’s fleet, as well as being the most stable. As an outrigger it is even more stable and doesn’t suffer too much from a loss of speed. When there is little or no wind the TI can be used to great effect in either configuration, ideal for touring, sight-seeing, kayak fishing and camping trips. When the wind is blowing, however, the TI absolutely shines in it’s default state as a trimaran. Light winds will move the TI along at a steady pace and stronger winds will push it along with eyebrow raising speeds, the respective experience ranging from serenely relaxing to downright thrilling.

Hobie Mirage Tandem Island - 2023 Model

The ultimate versatile water craft for sailing fun, kayaking expeditions and fishing. The Tandem Island is geared up for two with dual Mirage Drive 180's with Kick Up Fins and two super comfortable Vantage CT seats. The mirage drives features Kick Up fins which will automatically kick up should they bottom out or hit an object underwater so that you don't have to worry as you use your craft. The Tandem Island is predominantly designed for sailing with a sleek 18ft 6in hull featuring two outrigger AMAs on AKA bars that can fold against the hull if needed for docking and tighter spaces. Unbolt the akas and amas and you have a super-quick, super-fun tandem pedal drive kayak - attach the AKAs and AMAs, un-furl the 90sqft mainsail and you have a stable sailing craft that is very capable of covering long distances on the coast and performing open sea crossings. Stable in the rough and fun to ride on long period ocean swells. Able to sail in even the lightest winds, the Tandem Island is great fun and can be used by novice sailors with ease and is great for learning the ropes and get to grips with even if you have never sailed before.

The sail features a a roller-bearing furling 18ft carbon mast for great performance and easy un-furling and reefing. A drop-down centreboard board prevents lateral slip and the large sailing rudder and rudder assembly provides plenty of helm control in a breeze. The AMAs easily fold parallel against the hull to make negotiating tight spots or docking. All sailing, centreboard and rudder controls can be operated from the seating positions so that you can sit back in the super comfortable Vantage CT seats and sail away into the distance.

Want to make a proper adventure of it? This is the ultimate expedition kayak for escaping for a multi day adventure! A large bow hatch and three 8in Twist-N-Seal hatches give access to the inside of the hull and the large rear cargo area offers lots of on-deck storage and can carry the Hobie H-Crate if needed. Add the optional Hobie Trampoline Kits to run between the AKA bars to create lots of extra space for a extra passengers and the ability to put your weight out over the AMAs when sailing to better engage the hull in certain conditions.

This is a great craft for sailing and kayaking fun with the family to serious expedition adventures. The Tandem Island can do it all!

Here are the features that make the Tandem Island so special.

• A boomless, roller-furling sail rig similar to the rig on the Hobie Bravo with plenty of sail area for excellent performance, completely manageable from the cockpit with the pull of a line.
• Two retractable AMAs that fold up against the side of the boat, again with the simple pull of a line, for easy docking, manoeuvrability, and transport.
• No wind for sailing? No problem! Use the dual Mirage Drives to cruise the waters in style.
• The Hobie Mirage Drive allows the boat to be pedaled while under sail, or simply pedaled with the sail furled for versatility not found in any other sailboat.
• The Tandem Island is loaded with additional standard features such as a centre board, oversized sailing rudder, Mast and Sail Cover, several hatches and storage areas.
• The Tandem Island are offered in two colour packages: Ivory Dune and Red Hibiscus. Both options include beautifully colour coordinated sails

Hobie Mirage: Paddle, Pedal, Power, or Sail

Amas, akas, and a torqeedo make multi-tasking on this hobie multihull fun..

Photos by Ralph Naranjo

The Hobie Mirage Tandem Island, a mouthful we’ll refer to as the HMTI, is the latest incarnation of Hobie’s capable and creative engineering team. This triple-play trimaran can be paddled, pedaled, and sailed using dozens of Hobie’s in-house designed parts. A specialized Torqeedo electric outboard ( www.torqeedo.com ), which can be dropped into a drive slot, adds a forth dimension to this multi-tasking multihull. The Torqeedo comes complete with a remote battery and throttle control, and whether it’s used for mini-motorsailing, or for light tackle fishing by the angler who prefers to troll quietly and sail home—Hobie has hit the mark with this latest innovation.

As sailors skeptical of boats that try to offer too much of a good thing, we were a little concerned about the HMTI’s mega multitasking. We hoped it would prove to be a sequel to the woodworker’s Shopsmith, an elegant power tool that can be morphed from a table saw into seven different power tools.

At the heart of Hobie’s new sailing design is a ruggedly built, roto-molded, two-seat, sit-on-top kayak, a kayak concept that Hobie and many others have been building for a decade or so. Added to that foundation are two well-proportioned amas set on articulating crossmembers (akas), creating a very stable multihull platform. This mono-to-multihull transformation solves the righting moment requirement linked to sail carrying. A boomless roller-furling sail on a two-piece carbon-fiber spar that can be stepped as easily as a beach umbrella can be planted in the sand completes the sailing part of the package. The heel of the mast simply clicks into a deck-mounted receiver.

A double-ended mainsheet allows trimming at either cockpit location. The old who’s-the-sheet-hog rule prevails, and as with any double-ended sheeting arrangement, lines occasionally need to be reshuffled between the crew.

Steering is actuated via small levers situated on the sidedeck, to port of each seat well. These mini tillers work the opposite of a conventional tiller, but by reminding yourself to treat the lever like a wheel, the steering quickly becomes second nature.

Testers found the seats to be both comfortable and effectively located with all controls within easy reach. The centerboard has a simple lever-operated up-and-down control that retracts the foil completely for easy beaching.

Getting underway from a dock entails setting up the outboard ama ahead of time, and then, after a push away from the dock and a couple of either pedal cycles or paddle strokes, simply swinging the dockside ama into its place. Once both of the ama’s locking struts have been engaged, a tug of the sheet unfurls the sail and the usual trim-and-steer routine takes hold.

In 10 knots of breeze, the boat’s a blast to sail. Being so close to the water makes even modest boat speed exhilarating. The HMTI offers middle-of-the-fleet windward performance plus great reaching ability. It would be a stretch to call the HMTI an efficient light-air sailboat. However, among the fringe benefits of this multipurpose multihull are the mix-and-match propulsion modes. Sailors who want to work the quads a little while sailing can bolster light-air performance by pedaling the boat and increasing the airflow over the sail, creating a significant boost in boat speed. If you’re less inclined toward human propulsion, set the boat up with the Torqeedo outboard option, and the silent electric drive redefines the concept of motorsailing.

In truth, regardless of whether the amas are folded in, the HMTI is not a whole lot of fun to paddle when it’s decked out in sailing trimaran configuration. The increase in windage and wetted surface are just too much. But on days when kayaking is the goal, leave the mast, amas, and akas at home, and you’ll have a fun double kayak to paddle—a great way to explore an estuary or narrow river. Take along the Torqeedo if you want a break or if you want the ability to extend your exploration range. This is a versatile boat that seems to have a wide range of boating appeal, and it’s a prime example of electrical propulsion put to good use.

The complete list of trimarans.

There is no single trimaran that is best for everyone. Where some prefer luxury cruisers for long trips with family and friends, others might opt for a high performance racing tri for thrilling rides at breakneck speeds. With the recent spike in trimaran popularity, these days there is a perfect tri for every sailor. So to help prospective trimaran owners decide which boat is just right for them, we here at WindRider have put together a comprehensive list of the best trimarans on the market today! Read through for simple at-a-glance trimaran comparisons of boats both big and small, exhilarating and relaxing, and for all price points.

Jump to a specific sailing trimaran: Neel Weta Corsair WindRider Dragonfly Catri Astus Hobie Sea Pearl Farrier Sea Cart Multi 23 Triak SeaRail Warren Lightcraft Diam Radikal Challenger

Known for their award-winning luxury trimarans,   NEEL   is based in La Rochelle, the capital city of sailing in France. NEEL trimarans are built for fast cruising with an average cruising speed of about 10 knots, and are even configured to facilitate that sustained speed under motor propulsion. The NEEL 45 was notably named Cruising World’s Most Innovative Vessel in 2013, and by all accounts is an easy-to-sail, high performance boat that is just plain fun.

At a glance:

Models: NEEL 45, 65

Length: 45’ – 65’

Cost:   $$$$$

Use: Luxury cruiser

A fan favorite,   Weta trimarans   are fast, stable, and remarkably easy to rig. This single-sailor tri has a capacity of up to three, and the ease with which it can be transported and stored makes this a great, versatile boat for beginners. The Weta was named Sailing World’s 2010 Boat of the Year, and one ride is enough to know why: simply put, the Weta is an absolute ton of fun to sail regardless of skill level.

Models: Weta

Length: 14’5”

Cost:   $$ $$$

The high-end   Corsair trimaran   definitely holds its own in the categories of versatility, performance, and convenience. Boasting a rigging time of 30 minutes from trailer to sailor ,   the Corsair 42 – whose convenient folding amas makes trailering possible – is a simple option even for single sailors, though cabin space is suitable for two adults. These boats are wicked fast, capable of reaching speeds of 20+ knots, and were made for skilled sailors seeking solid construction and high performance vessels, not for beginners.

Models: Pulse 600, Sprint 750 MKII, Dash 750 MKII, Corsair 28, Cruze 970, Corsair 37, Corsair 42

Length: 19’8” – 37’

Cost:   $$$$ $

Use: Sports cruisers

Built for the sailor who wants to maximize the joys of sailing while minimizing any hassle, WindRider trimarans are notoriously fast, very safe, and a blast to sail from start to finish. With several models that can hold between 1 and 6 riders, including adaptive designs to allow participation from sailors of all levels of mobility, there’s something to suit every sailor’s needs. The WindRider 17, an exhilarating ride perfect for families or camper sailors, has been known to reach speeds of up to 20mph. This easy day sailor goes from trailer to sailing in under 30 minutes and is sure to fit in perfectly with whatever adventures you have planned.

Models: WR 16, 17, Tango, Rave V

Length: 10’11” – 18’3”

Cost:   $ $$$$

Use: Day sailor

The Danish-built   Dragonfly   trimarans come in a variety of models ranging from 25’ – 35’, all known for their spry performance, comfortable ride, and ease of use. Every model comes equipped with the unique “SwingWing” feature, a motorized system that can unfold the amas even while the boat is already underway – making it accessible to marinas and slips, and even makes trailering possible. Perfect for those who don’t want to sacrifice their comfort for high performance, the Dragonfly can breeze along at 13 knots while remaining one of the quietest compact cruisers out there.

Models: Dragonfly 25, 28, 32, 35, 1200

Length: 25’ – 39’

Designed for both safe cruising as well as for high speed racing,   Catri trimarans   will make your day. Especially noteworthy is the Catri 25, a stable yet wildly fast foiling trimaran with accommodations for up to 6 people. With profiles optimized for speeds of 25+ knots when foiling, this is no beginner’s sailboat. The special attention paid to stability in the foil design allows the Catri to be a single sailor vessel, even at foiling speed, with no special physical abilities. Whether you’re taking a small crew for longer rides at shuddering speeds or bringing the whole family along for a shorter, but still thrilling sail, the Catri is truly one of a kind.

Models: Catri 25

Length: 25’

Use: Cruiser/racer

A popular brand of trimaran in Europe,   Astus   has recently made its way to the US market to the delight of sailors on this side of the pond. Designed to offer maximum pleasure with minimum hassle, all models of Astus trimarans are fast to set up, quick on the water, inherently stable, and always a joy to sail. Their outriggers are mounted on telescopic tubes for easy stowage and towing, and can even be extended and retracted on the water for access to narrow passageways and monohull slips in marinas. With models in all sizes and price points, Astus trimarans are a great option for any sailor.

Models: Astus 16.5, 18.2, 20.2, 22, 24

Cabin: Some models

Length: 16’ – 24’

Use: Sport cruisers

HOBIE ADVENTURE ISLAND

Great for beginners and adventurers alike, the   Hobie Mirage Adventure Island   series is nothing if not just plain fun. With the option to use as a kayak or as a very basic trimaran, the Hobie is transportable, versatile, unintimidating, lightweight, and wonderfully affordable. The pedal system known as “Mirage Drive” allows a person to pedal the kayak using their legs for an extra kick of movement in slow winds. Amas tuck close to the main hull for docking or car-topping, adding serious ease and convenience to the exhilarating experience of the Hobie.

Models: Hobie Mirage Adventure Island, Mirage Tandem Island

Length: 16’7” – 18’6”

Use: Convertible kayak/trimarans

Best known for its use in camp cruising excursions, the   Sea Pearl   offers a roomy main hull and particular ability to sail in very shallow waters, making beaching and launching a breeze. The lightweight Sea Pearl trimaran is easy to tow, and the larger-than-expected cabin opens this vessel up for overnight adventures with plenty of storage space. The simple design makes the Sea Pearl notoriously low maintenance, and the ease it takes to rig and sail it add to the overall delight of owning this boat.

Models: Sea Pearl

Length: 21’

Use: Camper cruiser

Quick, lightweight, roomy, and trailerable,   Farrier trimarans   are made for versatility to fit every sailor’s needs. Different Farrier models are available in plan or kit boat form for those who appreciate building their boat themselves, but of course, also as the full production sail-away boat for the rest of us. Single-handed rigging and launching takes under 10 minutes from start to finish, minimizing hassle and getting you on the water fast. All non-racing Farrier designs use a minimum wind capsize speed of 30 knots or more to ensure safety for all those aboard. Add the roomy cabin and high speed capabilities to the equation and you’ve got a boat that is great fun for everyone.

Models:   F-22, 24, 25, 82, 27, 28, 31, 9A, 9AX, 9R, 32, 33, 33R, 33ST, 36, 39, 41, 44R

Length: 23’ – 39’4”

One of the biggest names in the game,   SeaCart   is internationally noted for its high performance trimarans that far exceed expectations for a production boat of its size. The SeaCart trimaran performs as brilliantly off the water as it does on with its super-light and efficient harbor folding system, making light work of trailering. Notoriously easy to manage and maintain, the SeaCart 26 One Design is the ultimate day racing trimaran, designed for both course and inshore/coastal distance racing. Absolutely worth the international buzz it has garnered, the SeaCart is a thrill from beginning to end.

A high performance racer class, the   Multi 23   is a lightweight, powerful trimaran known for its wicked speed of up to 25 knots. Multi trimarans of both available configurations were designed to give beach cat thrills and speed without any of the stability or seaworthy concerns. Open ocean sailing is no issue for the Multi’s big bows, which do their job to keep her stable. Built for sailors with a need for speed, the Multi makes a perfect weekend boat for racers, especially those with a taste for boat camping.

Length: 23’

Another dual outrigger sailing kayak/canoe design,   the Triak trimaran   was designed to be effortless and fun, especially for beginners. Paddle the kayak with sails furled, use the foot pedals for an extra kick of momentum, or sail with just the mainsail – the only boat in its class to feature an asymmetrical spinnaker – for exhilarating speeds and a blast on the water. Car-top the Triak anywhere for a quick sail or plan for a week long expedition, but always count on having a great time on this easy little boat.

Length: 18’

Use: Convertible kayak/trimaran

SeaRail trimarans   are known for being affordable, light weight, trailerable trimarans that offer the perfect combination of exciting and relaxing experiences to a wide range of sailors. Whether it’s day sailing with your family, resort or camper sailing, SeaRail trimarans are ideal leisure vessels. Leave the hassle to the other boats – the SeaRail takes you from trailer to sailor in 15 minutes. But don’t let its reputation as a leisure tri fool you: if speed is what you want, rest assured that the SeaRail can deliver that as well.

WARREN LIGHTCRAFT

Warren Lightcraft trimarans , another example of a convertible kayak-to-sailboat option, are known for their aesthetically pleasing designs that are also, as the name implies, very light for simple transportation and ease of use. Convert the kayak into a fast, high performance sailboat in just minutes, fly around on the waves all day long, then simply car-top the 68lb Warren for a maximum enjoyment, low-hassle day on the water. Perfect for sailors and paddlers of all skill levels, the Warren Lightcraft is the best of both worlds and an absolute joy to sail.

Built strictly with racing in mind,   the Diam 24   is a light, powerful one-design class trimaran and a notoriously exceptional performer. Boasting blistering speeds of up to 30 knots, Diam trimarans are not intended for beginners. For racers who crave the very best in terms of intense speeds, smooth handling and impeccable performance, the Diam is the red-hot one-design racing tri for you.

Models:   Diam 24

Length: 24’

For the sailor who prefers the finer things in life, the   Radikal 26   delivers. Perfect for bringing the whole family out for a day on the water, this high performance, trailerable sailing trimaran strikes the most luxurious balance between quicksilver speeds and a smooth, comfortable ride. The Radikal 26 trimaran is as convenient to transport and set up as it is pleasant to sail, with a folding system that minimizes rigging hassle and also makes this a trailerable tri. Built for a fast and comfortable sail rather than a hold-onto-your-seats thrill, one-the-water safety and overall pleasure makes the Radikal 26 what it is.

Models:   Radikal 26

Use: Sport cruiser

A solidly-built, single-handed trimaran, the Challenger also doubles as an adaptive design – meaning it is made to accommodate sailors of all levels of physical mobility. Best suited to lakes, the Challenger is a very safe, seaworthy boat for sailors of all ages and experience levels. Add to this the ease of owning, transporting and maintaining the Challenger trimaran and what you get is a simple, fun sailboat perfect both for beginners and those seeking a cheap thrill alike.
