The Hobie Mirage Compass Duo is designed for fishing. It has all of the great features you’ll find in the Mirage lineup with the capacity for two anglers.
Hobie’s design for the Compass Duo is very similar to the original Compass, and is simply the tandem version of what many consider to be Hobie’s budget-minded kayak. The removable mesh seats mean that a single user can operate the kayak alone if needed without much change to the overall performance on the water. Despite being only slightly longer than a normal Compass, the Duo provides plenty of space for both anglers to fish comfortably and operate the kayak on any waterway.
