Features Include:
The galley is located in the forward port side of the salon and features top quality appliances and a large opening window that provides the family chef with beautiful views while preparing meals. The galley base cabinets are capped with Karadon solid surface countertops and the cabinet design provides plenty of food preparation space.
The combination of wall, ceiling and bedding materials with the cherry wood cabinetry gives the owners stateroom an open and contemporary feel. The pedestal island queen bed offers six built-in storage drawers. There's plenty of space to store your clothes with the two hanging lockers, cabinets and additional drawer storage. There is even a huge, mirrored, full-length cabinet adjacent to the third stateroom. The two skylights over the bed and the four opening port lights bring in abundant natural light.

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.
