2004 Meridian 459 Motoryacht “Play N Hooky”

2004 Meridian 459 Motor Yacht | Freshwater | Twin Cummins Diesels | Bow & Stern Thrusters

This 2004 Meridian 459 Motor Yacht presents an outstanding opportunity for a buyer seeking a well-maintained, spacious and proven cruising yacht with an all-freshwater history. Powered by dependable twin Cummins 6BTA diesel engines, she combines comfortable performance with economical cruising characteristics, making her an excellent choice for extended trips, weekend cruising or spending extended time aboard.

Currently kept in a covered slip on the navigable Tennessee River, this Meridian has been very well cared for and has recently undergone a complete exterior buff and wax, giving her a clean, polished appearance that reflects the level of care she has received.

Comfortable & Efficient Diesel Cruising

The twin Cummins 6BTA diesels provide the reliable performance for which Cummins marine engines are well known, while offering an attractive balance of cruising speed and fuel efficiency.

Handling around the marina is made considerably easier with both bow and stern thrusters, giving the operator excellent control when docking, maneuvering in tight quarters or dealing with wind and current.

At the helm, a Raymarine electronics package provides the equipment needed for confident cruising and includes GPS/Chartplotter, radar and autopilot.

Exceptional Interior Volume

The Meridian 459 is particularly well known for the amount of usable living space incorporated into her design, and this boat is an excellent example.

Her desirable two-stateroom, two-head layout provides comfortable accommodations and privacy for owners and guests alike. Whether entertaining for the weekend or embarking on an extended cruise, the 459 offers the space and amenities to make time aboard genuinely comfortable.

The salon is exceptionally spacious and features a large sofa with three reclining positions, creating an inviting area for relaxing and entertaining. Large interior spaces combined with an abundance of storage throughout the yacht give the 459 a residential feel that is difficult to duplicate in many boats of comparable size.

Fully Equipped Galley

The galley is designed for owners who intend to truly use their boat and is equipped with both a convection microwave and traditional oven, providing considerably more cooking flexibility than a typical cruising galley.

Storage is plentiful throughout the galley and surrounding accommodations, making extended provisioning easy.

For longer trips, the onboard washer and dryer are another highly desirable feature and further enhance this yacht’s suitability for extended cruising or spending significant time aboard.
