What’s in this video

This is my full on-water review of the 2019 Hobie Passport 10.5 MirageDrive pedal kayak. It’s not a paid promotion. I went to my local Hobie dealer, Estero River Outfitters, and tested one on the water, covering steering, pedaling and the interior.

I also go in depth measuring some key areas, then try the fun accessories like the Bimini shade and the Mirage Sail Kit. It fits paddlers up to 275lbs max seat capacity and holds 325lbs total for paddler and gear.

Key moments

Quick takeaways

  • Max seat capacity is 275lbs, with 325lbs total for paddler and gear.
  • It works with Hobie accessories like the Bimini shade and Mirage Sail Kit.
  • With a high back seat like this, pick a life jacket made to fit high back seats.
