Hobie Mirage i12S Kayak

Hobie Mirage i12s

The Hobie Mirage i12s breaks down barriers. As easy to transport as it is to pedal & fish from.

Overview

A world of opportunities in the most portable kayak package possible. The Hobie Mirage i12S is designed with a PVC-vinyl hull and MirageDrive 180 that offer speed and performance without sacrificing stability or durability. Don’t forfeit your kayaking dreams to limited storage space or the lack of a roof rack. Hobie inflatable kayaks pack down into a compact rolling storage bag ready for you to tow anywhere your heart desires. The i12s provides generous hauling capacity for plenty of tackle and gear, making it perfect for weekend escapes and day trips alike. Whether you are taking it a few miles from home or checking it at the baggage claim, this kayak will become your new favorite method for getting out on the water.

• Powered by MirageDrive 180 - The ungainly paddle is replaced by the sheer efficiency of the MirageDrive 180, the original pedal kayak drive. With the largest human muscle group now in play, kayaking becomes easier and more efficient than ever.
• Drop Stitch Floor - “Drop Stitch” refers to a method of construction that allows for much higher inflation pressures. Thousands of tiny threads connect the top and bottom layers of the floor, counterbalancing air pressure when it is inflated. This allows for remarkable structural rigidity (and increased performance) without sacrificing portability.
• Rolling Storage Bag - The Hobie i-Series is the perfect choice for the kayaker who is short on space or storage. When portability is paramount, Hobie inflatables easily fold up and pack nicely within the included rolling travel bag.

FAQs

I want to buy this kayak and get out on the water. Do I really just add it to my cart?

Yup. Really, that's it. A growing portion of our customers just place their orders online. Can be faster and easier and less hassle than emails and phone calls. We don't mind either way, but once the order is in our system, then we get to work. As a summary, depending on stock status displayed on the kayak when you add to cart, we might start packaging it right away. Sometimes we have to wait for certain components - but our logistics team will start working on the delivery of your kayak from our warehouses to your shipping address. We'll package all the accessories, and then decide on the method of shipping. We have our own delivery van and trailer that handles a lot of the West Coast. We use contracted private drivers for places further away from us, and then we also use some normal shipping companies. You really don't have to worry about anything, that's our job. We line up the best option and then once the boat is ready, off it goes to you. It's not dissimiliar to ordering large appliances online - same processes with our own attention to detail to make sure it's as simple and transparent from order to delivery.

How much is shipping and how long does it take?

Your new Hobie Kayak will have a low, flat rate shipping price of $227 anywhere in the US (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). You will find this shipping method when adding your address in the shopping cart. Please contact us for rates outside the US. Each kayak's expected lead time is available as part of the product options right above the add to cart button (after you select any color options, if available). As some general guidance though, delivery times depend on stock status, your location and the size of your boat. For the majority of our kayaks that are in stock - they can be ready to ship in as little as 48 hours. That said, on average it's usually at least a week from order, to ‘ready for shipping to customer’.

How do you support your customers, especially if I buy a kayak randomly on your site?

We've got a Kayaks@WestCoastSailing.net email specifically for support over the life of your product. You can also can call or text us at 1-503-285-5536. We're here to help!
