Mirage Passport 10.5 Description
Power through the water with the fast and efficient MirageDrive with Glide Technology and Kick-Up Fins. Our patented Kick-Up Fin technology delivers care-free kayaking. Logs, kelp, shallows, rocks? No problem. Our fins automatically "kick up" on impact. We bring you closer to nature and further from the hustle and bustle. The Passport takes you anywhere you want to go with ease and world-class authority. Every feature is designed with your entertainment in mind. Sail open water or fish the flats. We made sure you can do both thanks to the vertical accessory tube and molded in rod holders. Dual mounting tracks keep your accessories within reach while the 8” Twist-n-Seal Hatch provides extra storage. The easy-to-use steering system and simplified version of our twist-and-stow rudder puts navigation at your fingertips and a smile on your face. A paddle is included for times when you want that extra arm workout.

What a great entry level…
What a great entry level pedal drive kayak. Leaves your hands free to fish, live-stream or just relax. Once you go Hobie pedal drive you never go back!!

The Hobie passport 10.5 is a wonderfully engineered kayak. I love how light it is (65 lbs). It
is easy enough to lift it off my bench, walk it past my wife’s car through our 1-car garage and onto the soft racks of my Ford Explorer. Nice heavy duty handles. Very comfortable seat with great cockpit layout. My primary interest is in using the 10.5 to troll Lake Michigan for trout and salmon on calmer days. I’ve since added a Hobie cart, a small fish finder (strapping the battery in the hull scupper posts under the seat, added rechargeable navigation lights, and two additional rod holders (placed just behind the seat). All said, it’s works great! Have no problem setting up three rods. Have had it 1.5 years, not sure I would ever want a different kayak. The only drawback is the hull scratches really easy. Be especially careful to avoid any contact to concrete or rocks.
My wife had tried many kayaks…

I bought 2 as soon as they came to market. These are a great deal in the land of Hobie MirageDrive kayaks and are well made with the new 2 piece body manufactured design. They can handle 100 lbs more payload than the Sports, the smallest model, without being much bigger. Stability is great and they are set up for fishing if needed with rod holders and dual mounting tracks for accessories. The seat is comfortable enough and is easily removed when you stop somewhere as a nice handy beach chair. Cool! Not the fastest Hobies of course as not their design, but when you add the turbo fins, which is extra cost, you can get a little more speed as with all the Mirage models when added. They are stackable, but probably just for a short time for transport. I don't like leaving weight on kayaks especially in the 1000 degree Summers here in Phoenix. I managed to get both in my 2016 Sorento with seats flat and passenger seat all the way forward and only sticking 15 inches out the back. I have a trailer for them now that I adopted from a single jet ski trailer. I have owned 6 Hobies and several other kayaks previously so I know some about these kayaks. I recommend these as a fun, all around pleasure and fishing kayak. Both of my thumbs are up. Check them out. (I don't work for or in anyway connected to Hobie. Just a fan of fun.)

my parents just recently bought this for me, so I can't say toooo much about it yet. But it's been an enjoyable experience each time I get in the water with it. I call him sharkie and I see many more years together ahead of us. THANKS FOR ALWAYS PUTTING OUT THE BEST PRODUCTS
I bought 2 as soon as they…
I bought 2 as soon as they came out and could get them. . I have had 2 Sports and 1 Revolution 11 and 3 Revolution 13s. Not as fast as the Revos of course but more stable and can carry more wait than the Sports. Seat is comfy and supportive enough. I am 5' 10" and 205lbs. I'll add turbo fins soon and if they have a bigger rudder as well and then will be a 5 star... but then great price point is passed... but many get turbos for the other kayaks anyway. Cant beat the price to get into a new Hobie.
