2007 Meridian 408 Motoryacht

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 408 keeps everyone connected. The molded steps from swim platform to aft deck to bridge mean no ladders to wrestle with, and moving around underway feels secure and easy for guests of all ages. The side decks are higher and protected, so handling lines doesn’t feel like an acrobatic act. Inside, the full-beam salon and raised galley give you sightlines from helm to transom, making it a social cruiser’s dream. Generous headroom, real separation between the two staterooms, and plenty of storage make extended weekends feel more like living aboard than just visiting. Add in the wide beam and solid build, and you’ve got a platform that feels bigger than her length suggests.

This 408 Motoryacht is particularly well suited to the broad, open waters and quickly changing conditions common on large inland lakes. The wide beam and substantial displacement help her track steadily in a chop, while the higher freeboard and full enclosure keep crew dry when the breeze kicks up. Twin diesels and bow thruster make docking in tight, crowded marinas far less stressful. With the aft cabin layout and enclosed aft deck, you can stretch the boating season into the cooler shoulder months, enjoying comfortable evenings aboard even when the temperature drops and the wind comes off the water.
