MEANWHILE is one of the best equipped and maintained 500s on the market. It is an owners version - 4 cabin . 4 head boat with 75 hp Yanmar diesels, watermaker, hardtop bimini with full enclosures (helm as well), 13.5 KVA Onan generator supported by solar panels and a wind generator. Vessel comes with a Jones Act waiver allowing MEANWHILE to be used in charter operations within the U.S.
Layout & Accommodations Owner’s version 4 cabins 4 heads (2 electric, 2 manual). This version includes three VIP cabins with a companionway at the forward end of the salon to starboard. The advantage of this layout is an additional cabin identical to the forward port cabin but a slightly shortened owner’s suite. Maximum comfort has been designed into this boat that features a forward cockpit with face-to-face seating, numerous lockers and a full view forward. Facilitating the passage towards the transoms and the foredeck, the aft passerelle is totally independent from the cockpit, the helm station on the flybridge or the main saloon entrance on the same level. The cockpit table can be stowed in the cockpit roof. The Lagoon 500’s helm station is a superb living space with access from each side, lockers, and a long six-seat bench. Six dual AC/Heat systems (3 new CT-10 10BTU units, 1 older unit inop). Six 12V cabin fans. Midea washer/dryer. Sony 6-speaker stereo system (salon and topside). 40" salon TV, three 24" cabin TVs, TV antenna.
