S/V Luffin Life — a 2008 Gemini 105MC located in Marina Tropical, Dominican Republic, for sale by broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary.
S/V Luffin Life is a 2008 Gemini 105MC catamaran located in Luperon, Dominican Republic, and offered for $87,000 USD. US flagged and owned by her third owner, she is a proven, cruise-ready platform that has recently completed a family voyage from Florida to the Caribbean.
Well equipped for comfortable liveaboard and island hopping, she is fitted with modern power and communications systems. The diesel engine runs strong, and her shallow draft and lifting appendages allow access to anchorages most boats can’t reach.
Below and on deck, Luffin Life is set up for practical cruising with comfortable accommodations, climate control, and protective canvas enclosures. A recent bottom job with primer and antifouling, along with structural reinforcement aft, adds further peace of mind.
This is an ideal entry-level cruising catamaran that has already proven herself as a capable and enjoyable family boat. While not without cosmetic and maintenance items, she is ready to sail today with minimal work required. Located in the welcoming cruiser hub of Luperon, she offers the perfect starting point for Caribbean adventures, with the option for delivery assistance or onboard orientation for new owners.
