2003 Meridian 411 Sedan “Big Wave”

• 2025 Highfield Classic 340

Step aboard Big Wave from the extended swim platform and enter the welcoming cockpit. Nonskid flooring adds security, while the Highfield tender offers an invitation to explore beyond the anchorage. Wide side decks lead toward the bow, and a sliding glass door opens directly into the salon.

Inside, large windows fill the living space with natural light. An L-shaped sofa with twin recliners sits opposite a curved loveseat, creating a comfortable setting for conversation or a quiet evening aboard. Just one step up and forward, the well-equipped galley and generous U-shaped dinette keep cooking, dining and entertaining connected, an inviting arrangement for extended cruising.

Below, two private staterooms provide room for owners and guests to settle in. The forward owner’s cabin features a centered queen berth and an ensuite head with a separate enclosed shower. The midship VIP cabin also offers a queen berth, ample storage and direct access to the guest wet head.

Returning to the cockpit, molded stairs lead up to the enclosed flybridge. A two-person helm seat, generous surrounding seating and a wet bar make this a natural gathering place underway or at the dock. With the shoreline unfolding around you, it’s easy to picture the next leg of a Great Loop adventure, or simply another beautiful day on the water.

The salon is the social heart of Big Wave. Broad windows welcome the surrounding scenery, and the sliding glass cockpit door keeps indoor and outdoor living closely connected. Settle into a recliner with a book, share an evening with friends or enjoy a quiet movie after a day on the water.
