MERIDIAN is a 2006 Tayana 48, a highly regarded Robert H. Perry-designed offshore cruising yacht built by Ta Yang under the Tayana name. The Tayana 48 occupies a sweet spot in the bluewater market: large enough to provide real passagemaking comfort, tankage, storage, and systems access, yet still manageable for an experienced cruising couple.
The Tayana 48 reflects the evolution of Perry's cruising design work from the earlier heavy-displacement era into a more modern performance-cruising form. Her moderate displacement, cutter rig, skeg-supported rudder, encapsulated ballast keel, and practical center-cockpit arrangement give her the strength, stability, and deck security serious offshore sailors expect, while still delivering rewarding sailing performance and a comfortable motion at sea.
MERIDIAN has been owned by her current owners since 2012 and has been cruised extensively from the Pacific to the Caribbean. The care shows. She has the kind of upgrade history that matters to buyers who intend to go cruising rather than simply admire a yacht at the dock: oversized Dyform stainless standing rigging, Raymarine Axiom electronics, Victron inverter, solar, watermaker, newer water tanks, updated refrigeration plates, bow thruster battery updates, fresh exterior canvas, renewed upholstery, maintained sails, and careful varnish work.
Below deck, MERIDIAN offers the warmth and substance that made Taiwanese-built yachts famous: solid teak joinery, teak-and-holly sole, a spacious saloon, proper dedicated navigation station, offshore galley, three-cabin/two-head layout, large aft owner's stateroom, and a notably accessible engine space. This is a yacht designed around real life aboard, with storage, handholds, ventilation, systems access, and practical details placed where cruising owners actually need them.
For a buyer seeking a proven Caribbean-ready bluewater cruiser in the 45 to 50 ft range, MERIDIAN stands out. She combines the pedigree of Robert Perry design, Tayana build quality, offshore systems, thoughtful ownership, and a strong list of meaningful upgrades in a package that is already positioned in Grenada for the next owner's cruising plans.
