Step aboard this beautifully appointed 2005 Meridian 381 Sedan Bridge, a luxurious cruising yacht that perfectly blends spacious accommodations, confident performance, and effortless handling. Powered by twin 420 HP MerCruiser 8.1S HO V8 inboard engines with dependable Velvet Drive transmissions, this Meridian delivers smooth cruising while offering the comfort and amenities expected from one of the most popular sedan bridges in its class.
The 381 features a bright, open salon with panoramic windows, warm wood cabinetry, and an inviting layout that feels much larger than its size suggests. The well-equipped galley offers generous counter space, ample storage, a cooktop, microwave, dual sinks, and refrigeration, making meal preparation easy. The thoughtfully designed two-stateroom layout comfortably accommodates family and guests. A private forward master stateroom, spacious guest cabin, and enclosed head provide overnight accommodations with all the comforts of home. Four marine air conditioning units ensure exceptional climate control throughout the vessel.
The elevated sedan bridge offers outstanding visibility, comfortable seating for family and friends, and a well-appointed helm complete with Garmin navigation electronics, Raymarine VHF radio, depth finder, hydraulic steering, Bennett trim tabs, and excellent all-around sightlines for confident operation. Docking is made remarkably easy thanks to both a 12-volt bow thruster and a Side-Power stern thruster, providing precise low-speed maneuverability in virtually any marina. A Kohler 7.3 kW generator supplies dependable onboard power away from the dock, while the Magnum 2,800-watt inverter/charger and Xantrex charging system add additional convenience for extended cruising.
Outside, you'll find a spacious cockpit with a full canvas enclosure, molded swim platform with boarding ladder, electric Lewmar windlass, remote spotlight, radar arch, dinghy davit, and plenty of room to relax, entertain, or enjoy time on the water.
The July 2026 marine survey found the hull to be structurally sound overall, with percussion testing indicating no significant structural defects and generally low moisture readings throughout the hull below the waterline. The interior was noted to be clean and well maintained, reflecting conscientious ownership.
