The boat is outfitted with a suite of premium Simrad electronics, giving you access to cutting-edge navigation and communication systems. In addition, the integrated FLIR thermal imaging system provides enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, offering peace of mind during night passages. A stern mounted camera makes stern in docking a much easier experience for all.
For longer journeys, the yacht's 700-gallon-per-day watermaker is a game-changer, allowing you to remain self-sufficient for extended periods without needing to return to shore for fresh water. This capability, combined with the boat's 18KW generator, spacious layout and numerous amenitie, makes it ideal for serious cruisers looking to explore distant horizons.
Meticulously maintained by professionals throughout its life, this yacht remains in remarkable condition. Every inch of this Meridian 580 has been cared for, ensuring it is fully operational and ready for new adventures. The current owners' passion for cruising is evident in the upgrades and attention to detail found throughout the boat, from the mechanical systems to the luxurious living spaces.

She features raised toe rails and gunwales, molded-in steps and broad side decks for increased safety and ease of movement on the water. Her state-of-the-art amenities include wireless Docking On Command remote control, Northstar electronics, stand-up access to the engine room, transom docking lights and underwater exhaust.
