The legendary Meridian 490 has an incredible amount of volume utilizing four levels of living space.  They are very capable and spacious cruisers.  With her full beam salon, modern galley, three staterooms and two heads with separate showers (one with tub) you will have all the comforts of home. 

"Charisma" is a unique opportunity to own one of these high quality vessels in exceptional condition.    She spent her life in FRESH WATER until 2018, and has always been stored in a covered slip until 2021.   Her Gelcoat shines, and her bilges are very clean.   Her engines  run like new with only 319 original hours.  

In 2019 her owner added a stern thruster to complement the bow thruster.  At that time an electric Freedom Lift dinghy storage system was also added.    This frees up the entire flybridge for lounging and entertaining.

Manufacturer Provided Description

While the 490SE Pilothouse features the comforts and standard features that modern cruising boaters have come to expect from Meridian, she also has a seafaring soul. This first-class yacht provides the responsive handling and solid construction that inclement weather requires, and she will deftly manage temperamental waterways, yet she also effortlessly accommodates up to six people in three well-appointed staterooms. Creature comforts include generous salon seating, a full-service galley with teak-and-holly flooring and Karadon custom solid-surface countertops, a master head with bathtub, a guest head with separate enclosed shower and a convertible third stateroom. For the boater who wants comfort in a solid coastal cruiser, the 490SE is the perfect choice.
