Price range: $3,190.00 through $3,590.00 Inc GST
Tough, stable, and ready for adventure — the Hobie Mirage Passport 12 R combines hands-free MirageDrive pedal power, fishing-ready features, and a repairable rotomolded hull for years of worry-free exploration.
Meet the Hobie Mirage Passport 12 R — your gateway to world-class pedal kayaking without the premium price tag. This kayak combines Hobie’s legendary MirageDrive GT with Kick-Up Fins technology, a rugged rotomolded polyethylene hull, and a fishing-focused layout ready for serious adventures from day one.
Whether you’re chasing snapper offshore, stalking bream in the shallows, or exploring your favourite river, the Passport 12 R delivers effortless pedal propulsion, hands-free fishing, and unmatched stability — all in one sleek, durable package.
Built Tough for Real-World Use
Unlike thermoformed kayaks, the Passport 12 R’s rotomolded hull is impact-resistant and plastic-weld repairable, so you can paddle, pedal, and fish in rugged Australian conditions without worry.
Fishing-Ready from the Factory
You get a kayak that’s purpose-built for anglers, including:
Dual rod holders for trolling or stowing
Transducer cavity for clean fishfinder installs
Power-Pole® Micro mount ready for shallow water anchoring
H-Track accessory rails for cameras, rod holders, or electronics
8″ Twist-n-Seal hatch for secure dry storage
Spacious bow & stern cargo areas with bungee tie-downs
Hands-Free Pedal Power
The MirageDrive GT lets you cruise with minimal effort — freeing your hands for casting, photos, or a drink. With Kick-Up Fins, shallow logs, rocks, or weeds are no problem — the fins retract on impact, then redeploy automatically.
Stand, Cast, Relax
The 34″ wide beam and EVA foam standing pads make standing casts stable and comfortable. The breathable mesh seat keeps you supported for hours.
Ready to Go
Fully rigged with a paddle, rudder system, and all hardware — you can be on the water the same day you bring it home.
