Meridian 408 Motoryacht

 2005 Meridian 408 Flybridge – Twin Cummins Diesels – Upgraded Electronics – Turnkey and Professionally Maintained This 2005 Meridian 408 Flybridge is a spacious, well-cared-for diesel motor yacht with extensive upgrades and thoughtful improvements throughout.

2 spacious state rooms plus 2 full baths.

Powered by twin Cummins diesel engines rated at approximately 380 HP each with about 2400 hours, paired with an Onan generator with roughly 4000 hours, this boat delivers reliable cruising performance along with the interior volume and comfort that made the 408 one of Meridian’s most popular models.

The boat has been continually upgraded and maintained without hesitation. A premium flooring refit features full GatorStep coverage across all exterior walkways, the cockpit, flybridge, and even the upper hardtop area for added traction and a modern look. The sound system has been professionally upgraded with more than $20,000 invested, including Wet Sounds and Bose components, two subwoofers, bow speakers, and clean power for exceptional audio quality throughout the boat. Underwater lighting includes color-changing LEDs that create a great evening atmosphere at anchor or in the marina.

Helm upgrades include an improved GPS display and a digital engine data monitoring system providing real-time RPM and engine metrics, plus rear-facing docking camera and an engine-room camera for peace of mind underway or during tight maneuvers. The boat is equipped with both bow and stern thrusters; the bow thruster is fully operational, and the stern thruster can be serviced if desired but has not been necessary for docking. Additional mechanical and comfort features include three recently replaced air-conditioning units (three of four), new isinglass canvas enclosure panels, upgraded props with an additional spare set, and a grill mount for cookouts on the aft deck.

The flybridge layout and aft deck spaces provide multiple areas for lounging and entertaining with excellent sightlines from the upper helm. A full-beam salon and well-appointed staterooms offer generous interior volume for family trips or extended cruising. There is no radar currently installed. This 408 has been owned and maintained with care, and expenses were never deferred when the boat needed service or upgrades. It is in excellent condition mechanically and cosmetically, and represents an opportunity to step into a turnkey diesel flybridge yacht with meaningful improvements already completed.
