Description

ELEGANT, VERY WELL EQUIPPED AND READY FOR YOUR BOATING EXCITEMENT

The Meridian 540 is a stunning Pilothouse Motor yacht perfectly designed for luxurious living and comfortable all-weather traveling. The 540 features spacious living areas, and one of the widest beams in her class. The three stateroom, two head layout will comfortably sleep six, and a Flexsteel convertible sofa in the salon will also accommodate two additional layover guests. Crew and guests will appreciate the abundance of storage spaces throughout the entire boat. A focal point of the 540 is her large pilothouse with a wraparound dinette, centerline helm and a stairway to the flybridge. The raised pilothouse offers a 360-degree view and a door to the starboard side deck (great for locking). The chef will love the U-shaped gourmet equipped galley (to port). The inviting salon features an L-shaped ultra-leather convertible sofa, cherry plank fold leaf adjustable height dining table, leather swivel rocker w/ottoman, two bar stools and entertainment center, all surrounded by large windows offering a wide-open panoramic view. Outside, the cockpit features a portside storage locker, three lazarette hatches accessing the running gear and generator (as well as additional storage), and Meridian’s cleverly designed “Flip-up” steps that access the sundeck/flybridge. The steps raise up, providing direct access to the engine room. The portside transom door accesses a sizeable extended swim platform that features a Presto Marine hydraulic davit (dinghy is not included). Up top, the roominess theme continues with both the sundeck and a flybridge that features a large L-shaped settee (to port) with under-seat storage and table, a center line helm and captain’s chair beside a matching companion chair, wet bar with fridge/ice maker (to starboard), all under the protection of the bimini top and canvas/eisenglass side & rear curtains.

Whether your passion is traveling in luxury & comfort (a proven looper), entertaining at the dock or simply dropping the hook and enjoying alfresco dining while taking in the sunset, this beautiful pilothouse motor yacht will check your boxes.
