2004 Meridian 459 Motoryacht

The Meridian 459 Cockpit Motor Yacht is known for its thoughtful layout, blending the comfort of a true motor yacht with the added versatility and accessibility of a cockpit design. From the moment you step aboard, the flow of the boat feels intuitive, offering seamless movement between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The cockpit provides a functional and inviting entry point, perfect for line handling, water access, or simply enjoying time at the dock or anchorage. One of the standout features of this layout is the signature sliding door from the cockpit directly into the primary stateroom—a highly desirable design element that offers private, convenient access without needing to pass through the main salon. Whether returning from a swim, stepping aboard from the dock, or hosting guests, this feature adds a level of practicality and privacy that sets the 459 apart.

Moving up into the main living space, the salon and galley are well-positioned to take advantage of natural light and open sightlines, creating a comfortable environment for relaxing or entertaining. The transition between spaces feels natural and open, while still maintaining defined areas for living, dining, and meal preparation.

Below, the sleeping quarters are arranged to provide separation and comfort for both owners and guests, making the vessel well-suited for extended cruising or time aboard. Overall, the layout of Meant 2B strikes a balance between usability and comfort, offering a setup that works just as well for weekend cruising as it does for longer adventures

The full-beam salon aboard Meant 2B is one of the true highlights of the vessel, offering an open and inviting space designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Surrounded by panoramic windows, the area is filled with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere that enhances the overall sense of volume.

Comfort is front and center with twin settees and abundant seating, complemented by comfortable leather furnishings that provide a warm and welcoming feel. Underfoot, tasteful luxury vinyl plank flooring adds a modern touch while offering durability well-suited for life on the water.

Thoughtful features throughout the space make extended cruising even more enjoyable, including an integrated vacuum system and a washing machine conveniently located in a locker beneath the salon steps, adding a level of practicality rarely found in this class.

This is a salon that truly lives large—equally suited for quiet evenings aboard or hosting family and friends.

The galley aboard Meant 2B is thoughtfully integrated into the main living space, creating a natural connection to the salon while still maintaining a defined and functional cooking area. This layout allows the chef to remain part of the conversation, whether entertaining guests or enjoying time with family.

Finished with tasteful luxury vinyl plank flooring, the galley carries a clean, modern feel that complements the surrounding space while offering durability for everyday use. Equipped with a Norcold refrigerator, Kenyon 2-burner electric cooktop, and ample storage, it provides all the essentials needed for extended cruising or comfortable liveaboard use.

Well-positioned and practical, the galley is designed to support both quick meals underway and more relaxed dining experiences at anchor or the dock.

Meant 2B is powered by a dependable pair of Cummins 6BTA diesel engines, each rated at 370 horsepower. Known for their reliability, simplicity, and widespread parts availability, these inline 6-cylinder engines are a proven platform for both cruising and extended use.

A key highlight is the starboard full rebuild, offering added peace of mind and long-term confidence in the vessel’s propulsion system.

Power is delivered through ZF Hurth transmissions with a 2.0:1 reduction, turning 2.5” shafts and four-blade Nibral propellers, a setup designed to provide smooth, efficient performance and solid handling characteristics.
