2026 Hobie Mirage Compass

The Hobie Mirage Compass is a 12-foot pedal kayak engineered for fishing and shallow-water exploration. Weighing 87 pounds fully rigged, it features the Mirage Drive pedal system with kick-up fins that automatically retract on impact with submerged objects, allowing hands-free propulsion over flats and reefs without concern for grounding.

The design prioritizes stability and functionality. Molded-in rod holders, H-Track accessory mounts, and a Lowrance-ready fish finder mount provide straightforward options for rigging electronics and tackle. The narrow beam and responsive turning characteristics suit maneuvers in tight quarters and around structure.

Storage and comfort features include bow and stern wells for gear, a Twist and Seal hatch for sealed storage, bow and stern handles for secure gripping, and an aluminum frame mesh seat that drains water and allows airflow. A cup holder offers basic convenience, and the steering system is designed for intuitive control during long days on the water.
