Research 2009 - Meridian Yachts - 408 Motoryacht

The 408 Motoryacht proves that a midsize yacht can offer all the comforts of home in the ultimate cruising package. She features a spacious salon with entertainment center, a fully-equipped galley with recessed cooktop and innovative in-floor storage and impressive guest accommodations with a large island berth, innerspring pillowtop mattress and private access to the day head. What's more, her full-beam master suite has separate en-suite head and shower compartments with an elegantly designed vanity between them. The 408 also features a broad aft deck with wet bar, a bridge deck with generous seating, a well-appointed helm station and underwater exhaust for maximum cruisability. Step aboard the 408 and you'll find that a midsize yacht can indeed be your home away from home.
