The Hobie Mirage Compass is a tried-and-true design and one of the most popular kayaks in the Hobie lineup. The narrow, sleek hull design allows this kayak to slice through the water quickly and quietly. Coupled with the MirageDrive 180 that comes standard on this kayak, you’ll have power and precision on any body of water. The Compass maximizes buoyancy and stability with its wide hull, allowing it to handle all your activities without sacrificing its easy-to-paddle ability. The Compass is a great kayak that slots between the Hobie Passport and the Hobie Outback kayaks based on its features and construction.

Whether you’re spending the day on the water fishing or enjoying the beautiful weather, the Compass offers a variety of features for everyone. With plenty of room to spare from the cockpit to the cargo area, it’s up to you to find the best fit for you. The covered bow storage area leaves plenty of room and concealment to keep things out of the way. At the same time, the rear cargo features an open plan with crisscross bungees that hold your fishing crate or cooler. You’ll also find plenty of space under your chair, allowing for more storage for tackle boxes and other amenities. Along the side of the kayak, you’ll find a bungee attachment to hold the included two-piece fiberglass paddle. Storing it out of the way but ready for use.

Enjoy the revolutionary MirageDrive 180 while you sit comfortably in the breathable optimal seating design chair. The ripstop fabric constructed chair is adjustable and removable, allowing you to use it for more than just on the kayak but also on the beach or around the campfire after a day on the water. The 8″ twist and seal hatch at your feet allows you to access the hull. Fully adjustable MirageDrive pedals will enable you to find the optimal comfort level to pedal all day. The Hobie H-Track accessory mounts on each side allow you to add your favorite accessories without drilling or additional hardware. Easy fish finder installation with the single scupper allows your wires and transducer to be mounted efficiently.

Important with any kayak is its accessibility when transported to and from the water. Under the seat, you’ll find two handles to help when moving your kayak on top of your vehicle or carrying it from the side. Overall, the Hobie Compass is ideal for any recreational kayaker and fisherman because the open floor plan design allows you to customize your experience, whether adding a Power-Pole Micro Anchor on the rear or adding one of Hobie’s accessories, such as the sail kit or Bimini. There is a variety to choose from to help meet your needs for this kayak. Don’t hesitate; let the Hobie Compass take you on your next adventure today!

MirageDrive 180

The Hobie MirageDrive 180 is an efficient, durable drive that features forward and reverse – designed with high-end components to withstand fresh and saltwater and the obstacles you will face in both scenarios. The glide technology reduces friction in the drive, providing a smooth and powerful peddling experience. One of the ultimate tools of the MirageDrive 180 is the Kick-Up Fin technology. This revolutionary design allows you to come fin to fin with obstacles in the water without slowing you down. When you come into contact with the bottom, rocks, and stumps, the fins will easily kick up and lock back in place so you can continue peddling. These durable square-tip fins slice through the water swiftly and effectively, getting you where you need to go. Operating and adjusting the 180 Drive is simple. To adjust your peddles, press the buttons at the top of the cranks and slide forward or backward for the most comfortable fit. Engaging forward or reverse is as easy as pulling the red or green forward shifter. Installing your 180 Drive is as easy as dropping and locking it into place. There is no need for extra work and hassle with hardware or other tools. With the right technology, Hobie has created a kayak all anglers will love. Simple to maneuver and navigate, experience the Mirage Drive 180 in one of the finest kayaks on the market.
