The Meridian 381 Sedan has earned a reputation as one of the most popular cruising yachts in her class, offering the perfect combination of reliable diesel power, spacious accommodations, and owner-friendly handling. Designed for comfortable weekends aboard or extended cruising, the 381 features an expansive salon, an easy-to-navigate flybridge, and a thoughtfully designed two-stateroom layout that makes her ideal for couples, families, or entertaining guests.
This 2003 Meridian is powered by dependable twin Cummins 6BTA M-3 5.9L 270 HP turbo diesel engines, providing an excellent balance of performance, fuel efficiency, and legendary reliability. Docking is made remarkably simple with Meridian's Docking on Command (D.O.C.) system, featuring both bow and stern thrusters for confident maneuvering in tight marinas and changing conditions.
Comfort underway and at anchor is enhanced by two-zone reverse-cycle heat and air conditioning, allowing separate climate control throughout the vessel. A 9 kW generator provides ample power for extended stays away from the dock while operating all onboard systems with ease.
The flybridge offers outstanding visibility along with generous seating for family and guests, while the lower helm provides an excellent all-weather operating station. Navigation equipment includes radar, GPS/chartplotter, autopilot, VHF radio, and depth finder to make coastal cruising both safe and enjoyable.
Below deck, the bright salon features large windows that fill the interior with natural light, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. The well-equipped galley offers abundant storage and counter space, making meal preparation easy whether you're spending the weekend aboard or cruising for extended periods. Forward, the owner's stateroom features an island queen berth, while the guest stateroom provides comfortable accommodations for additional family or friends. The spacious head includes a separate stall tub-shower for the comfort and convenience typically found on much larger yachts.
Whether you're looking for a comfortable Delta cruiser, a coastal cruiser, or a liveaboard-ready sedan bridge yacht, the Meridian 381 continues to be one of the most sought-after models in her size range thanks to her spacious layout, dependable Cummins diesel power, and exceptional ease of operation.
