Hobie’s new Mirage Passport 12 (available November 2019) is a longer (12 feet), wider version of the company’s well-received Passport 10.5, introduced in 2018. As such, it supports a wider variety of fishing venues and applications, and provides increased stability while sitting or standing. Storage is also increased.
The maneuverable pedal-driven kayak features Hobie’s Rudder Control system that provides easy fingertip steering of the rudder, which can be easily deployed and stowed.
