Description
2008 Meridian 459 Motoryacht — Summer Breeze
Now offered with assumable moorage at Ladysmith Marina — an added bonus and immediate value for her next owner.
There are Meridian 459s on the market, and then there is Summer Breeze.
Originally purchased new at the Vancouver Boat Show in 2009, Summer Breeze spent the majority of her life protected inside a boathouse until 2023. Due to the original owners leaving the country shortly after purchase, the vessel saw remarkably little use, accumulating only 120 original hours prior to being acquired by her current owners in the fall of 2024.
Today, Summer Breeze has only 210 original hours and represents one of the lowest-hour Meridian 459s available anywhere.
Recognizing the rarity and long-term potential of the yacht, the current owners invested heavily into a complete recommissioning and modernization program, with over $120,000 spent through several highly respected local marine companies and one of the Lower Mainland’s major shipyards. Their intention was to create a long-term ownership vessel, not simply prepare it for resale. The result is a yacht that presents far newer than her model year and stands apart dramatically from comparable Meridian 459s currently on the market. In both cosmetic condition and mechanical pedigree, Summer Breeze is much more representative of a vessel built 10 to 15 years later.
Major recent upgrades and service work include:
Complete propulsion system service Dripless shaft seals
Updated 2024 Garmin navigation electronics
New refrigerator
Fresh canvas & upgraded enclosure windows with thicker Isinglass. Extensive recommissioning completed to factory standards Comprehensive refresh of mechanical and cosmetic systems
The Meridian 459 Motoryacht succeeds at every level. She offers exceptional cruisability while still providing the privacy and separation owners appreciate during extended trips.
Her forward guest stateroom features its own private head facilities, while the full-beam master suite is positioned aft with a private ensuite head and shower. One of the most unique features of the 459 is the master stateroom’s direct access to the cockpit through large sliding glass doors — a layout rarely found in this class and one that gives the owner’s suite a true luxury yacht feel.
Thoughtfully designed for entertaining, Summer Breeze offers a spacious bridge deck, generous aft cockpit, abundant natural light and panoramic views throughout the salon. Large windows create an open and airy feeling throughout the interior, while the rich cherry wood cabinetry and gloss finished joinery provide timeless warmth and sophistication.
Step aboard and immediately appreciate the sense of care and quality throughout. The salon is inviting and comfortable, ideal for entertaining family and guests, while the galley is well-equipped with modern appliances, abundant storage and an open layout that makes extended cruising easy. Above, the expansive flybridge provides exceptional visibility, generous seating, a wet bar and an ideal setting for sunset cruises, entertaining or simply relaxing at anchor.
Powered by twin Cummins QSB diesel engines, Summer Breeze delivers excellent reliability, smooth cruising performance and economical operation. Combined with Meridian’s proven hull design and Docking on Command system with both bow and stern thrusters, she is exceptionally easy to handle for an owner- operator.
For buyers comparing Meridian 459s, it is important to recognize that Summer Breeze is simply not representative of a typical 2008 vessel. With extraordinarily low original hours, boathouse-kept history, over $120,000 invested into recent upgrades and recommissioning, and prepaid moorage included, this is an opportunity to acquire a truly standout example.

Summer Breeze is not simply another Meridian 459 — she is a rare, exceptionally low-hour example that has been upgraded, recommissioned and maintained to a level seldom seen in the marketplace. For the buyer seeking a turnkey luxury motoryacht with pedigree, condition and long-term value, Summer Breeze deserves serious consideration.
Engine Notes
Powered by twin Cummins QSB diesel engines, Summer Breeze delivers excellent reliability, smooth cruising performance and economical operation. These engines have been professionally maintained throughout the vessel’s life and have undergone a full recommissioning as part of the current owners’ extensive upgrade program. Fluid samples were taken at multiple stages to help confirm the health and condition of the engines, further supporting that they are truly reflective of the vessel’s exceptionally low original hours and careful ownership history. Combined with Meridian’s proven hull design and Docking on Command system with both bow and stern thrusters, she is exceptionally easy to handle for an owner-operator.
