This Hobie Tandem Island is a proven, incredibly versatile sailing kayak that’s ready for serious adventure, touring, and relaxed coastal cruising. Well cared for and thoughtfully upgraded, this setup is ideal for anyone looking to get into sailing without the cost, size, and hassle of a traditional yacht.
The Tandem Island is famous for combining sailing, pedalling, and paddling in one ultra-stable trimaran platform. Whether you’re cruising sheltered bays, exploring islands, heading offshore on a good weather window, or loading it up for overnight camp-outs, this craft does it all with ease.
This particular boat presents very well and comes with a range of desirable upgrades that significantly improve comfort, versatility, and value.
Key Features & Upgrades:
Upgraded Hobie seats – far more comfortable and supportive for long days on the water or multi-day trips
Trampolines set installed – adds extra deck space for gear, kids, pets, or just stretching out while sailing

The Tandem Island is incredibly popular with couples, families, retirees, and adventure seekers. It’s stable enough for beginners, yet capable enough for experienced sailors wanting long-range exploration without marina fees, towing large boats, or complicated rigging. You can launch almost anywhere, beach it overnight, and access shallow or remote locations that larger boats simply can’t reach.

Why a Tandem Island?
Compared to larger sailboats, the Hobie Tandem Island is cheaper to own, easier to use, and far more flexible. No marina fees, no antifouling, no heavy towing requirements. You can sail it, pedal it home when the wind drops, and store it in a shed or garage. For island hopping, fishing, camping, and pure freedom on the water, very few craft come close.
A fantastic opportunity to own a fully set-up Hobie Tandem Island package that’s ready for immediate adventure.
