We’ve had our adventures living aboard and cruising over 4,000nm in the Western Caribbean. Now, Mother Jones is sailing with a wonderful new Captain and First Mate.
Below is info on her for any lookie-loos out there still searching for their own Gem. Happy hunting!

Hi Kim! Our boat is a 1993 and it is still for sale. I know there is also another gem for sale in Isla Mujeres but I can’t speak to it’s condition. What kind of cruising info are you looking for? With it’s shallow draft, the Gemini is the perfect boat for Mexico and Belize! We could talk about a delivery with any serious buyers. Let me know what you’re thinking. Thanks! – Laurie
Still for sale? I saw it on one website that it was no longer available. I am just 5 1/2 hours away from there and would like to see it.
Is your boat still for sale/available? Please contact us soon.
