Hobie Mirage Passport 10.5 R Fishing Kayak

The Hobie Mirage Passport 10.5 R Fishing Kayak is a compact pedal-drive fishing kayak designed for anglers who want hands-free propulsion, easy maneuverability, and a practical fishing platform. Powered by the Hobie MirageDrive GT pedal system with Kick-Up Fins, this kayak allows you to cover water efficiently while keeping both hands available for casting, retrieving lures, and handling tackle.

At 10 feet 6 inches long, the Passport 10.5 R provides a useful combination of compact size, stability, and fishing functionality. Its manageable dimensions make it well suited for anglers who want a pedal fishing kayak that is easier to transport and store while still offering the essential features needed for a day on the water.

MirageDrive GT Pedal System

The integrated Hobie MirageDrive GT provides smooth, hands-free pedal propulsion. The pedal system allows anglers to move forward and reverse while maintaining control of their fishing gear.

The Kick-Up Fins are designed to automatically retract when they encounter an underwater obstacle, helping protect the drive system in shallow or obstacle-filled water. The drive can also be removed when needed for transport or storage.

Stable Fishing Platform

The Passport 10.5 R features a stable sit-on-top hull designed for recreational and fishing use. Its open deck provides anglers with room to cast, organize tackle, and access equipment without feeling confined.

The kayak’s compact profile also makes it responsive and easy to maneuver around docks, shorelines, vegetation, and other common fishing areas.

Comfortable Seating

The Hobie Passport Seating System provides an elevated and supportive position for fishing and paddling. The breathable seat material promotes airflow, while the adjustable design allows anglers to find a comfortable position for longer sessions on the water.

The elevated seating position also provides improved visibility and convenient access to gear stored around the kayak.

Fishing-Ready Features

The Passport 10.5 R is designed with the practical needs of kayak anglers in mind. Its open layout and accessory mounting options make it easy to organize fishing equipment and customize your setup.

Convenient Gear Storage

The H-Track system also gives anglers convenient mounting points for compatible fishing accessories and electronics.

Compact and Easy to Transport

One of the biggest advantages of the Hobie Mirage Passport 10.5 R is its compact 10.5-foot design. The manageable size makes it easier to transport and store compared with larger pedal fishing kayaks.

For anglers who frequently fish from different launch locations, this compact design can be particularly useful when loading the kayak onto a vehicle or moving it from storage to the water.

Customize Your Fishing Setup

The H-Track accessory system allows anglers to personalize the Passport 10.5 R with compatible fishing accessories. Depending on your setup, you can add rod holders, fish-finder equipment, camera mounts, navigation accessories, and other kayak fishing gear.

This customization makes it possible to create a fishing platform that suits your preferred techniques and equipment.
