Why the affordable catamaran is always a Gemini

“Every affordable catamaran search I run ends at a Gemini. What am I actually choosing between?”

Scout's answer, frozen the day it was asked: one yard, forty years, six boats from $26,900 to $173,000 — the same narrow-beam idea at every age and price, so the year you pick is the only real decision.

Gemini 3000 1983 · $26,900 · Brick, NJ 08723

1983 Gemini 3000 at $26,900 — the original narrow-beam bet, and the cheapest way onto two hulls.

Gemini 3000 1989 · $35,000 · Port Isabel, TX 78578

1989 Gemini 3000 at $35,000 — the same design that cruised the Gulf Coast for its owners. (write-up coming)

1997 Gemini 105M at $49,900 — the mid-nineties refinement of the idea.

2006 Gemini 105MC 'Tropic Bird' at $69,000 — the diesel Westerbeke generation. (write-up coming)
