Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R Kayak Features

MirageDrive Powered: The Glide Technology Drive features legendary bioengineered performance. For reverse gear, see our other kayak lines with the MirageDrive 180.

Accessory H-Track Mounts: Keep your accessories close with H-Track accessory mounts.

8" Twist and Seal Hatch: The twist and seal is a unique mechanism that allows for one hand operation and it ensures that the hatch is sealed. The hinged lid keeps the hatch lid with the kayak at all times and the rubber gasket keeps the hatch dry.

Recessed Hull Space for MirageDrive: The Mirage Passport features a recessed hull space which helps protect the fins from catching on debris or rocks in the shallows or while beaching. This gives the Passport easy access to more places for more fun.

  • H-Bar Ready
  • Transducer Cavity & Mouthing Plate

Frequently Asked Questions About the Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R

Who is the Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R designed for?

The Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R suits buyers who want the Passport hull with more length, capacity and rigging: 12 ft, 400 lb, and a padded standing platform.

It adds a transducer cavity and a Power-Pole Micro mounting pad that the shorter Passport does not have. If a fishfinder or a shallow-water anchor is in the plan, this is the Passport that takes them.

Which MirageDrive does the Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R use, and does it have reverse?

The Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R uses the MirageDrive GT with Kick-Up Fin technology, and a reverse function is not specified for this configuration.

The GT comes with Glide Technology and fins that collapse on impact and redeploy. Forward and reverse are confirmed for the MirageDrive 180, so if you need to back off structure without turning the hull, choose a model fitted with that drive.

What are the dimensions and weights of the Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R?

The Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R is 12 ft long and 34 in wide, weighing 73 lb fitted and 83 lb fully rigged.

Deck height runs from 12.25 in at the middle of the kayak to 14.25 in at the tallest point, which matters for garage clearance and for a cover. Pull the drive and seat before loading, and check your rack ratings.

How much weight can the Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R carry?

The Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R has a published 400 lb capacity and a separate 275 lb seat capacity.

That is 75 lb more than the shorter Passport, which is the practical reason to step up if you fish with a battery, a fishfinder and a loaded crate. The seat rating applies to the person using it; keep practical margin below the overall figure.

Can you stand up and fish from the Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R?

The Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R has an EVA padded standing platform, on a hull 34 in wide and 12 ft long.

No standing-specific limit or sea-state qualification is published, so it comes down to your balance, the load and the day. Judge it conservatively and stay seated when the water is not calm. The shorter Passport carries no standing description at all.

How does the Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R handle shallow water?

The Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R has Kick-Up Fins that collapse on impact and redeploy once clear. Its stowable rudder twists out of the way for shallow water and beaching.

No minimum operating depth is stated for this drive. Get it up before the fins are dragging, then paddle across. Retract the drive and rudder before beaching: that damage is excluded from warranty coverage.

What comes with the Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R?

The Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R ships with the MirageDrive GT, a suspended mesh aluminum-frame seat, a two-piece aluminum paddle, two rod holders and an 8 in Twist-n-Seal hatch.

It also has two accessory tracks, tackle storage, bow and stern storage with bungee, and a stowable rudder with seat-side control. A cart, fishfinder and shallow-water anchor are all sold separately.

Can you fit a fishfinder, accessories or a motor to the Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R?

The Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R has accessory H-Track mounts, a transducer cavity with a mounting plate and a Power-Pole Micro bracket indent.

Those are provisions rather than hardware, so the fishfinder, transducer and anchor are bought separately. No motor mounting point is published for this hull, and no electrical hardware is supplied. Anything added counts against the 400 lb capacity.

How do you care for the Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R, and what warranty applies?

Rinse the Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 R, drive, rudder and fittings with fresh water after saltwater use, and brush grit off the standing pad. Keep it shaded and evenly supported.

Eligible 2019-and-later hard-shell kayaks carry a three-year Hobie kayak warranty. Take the kayak and proof of purchase to the authorized dealer you bought it from within 30 days of finding a defect, or to the nearest dealer if you have moved or are traveling.
