Her high grade aluminum hull was designed to be strong, light weight, very fast, and extremely dry and stable. This is one very sea-worthy and sea-kindly vessel. She has Wesmar Stabilizers and a Side Power Bow Thruster.

Designed by Jack Hargrave, one of the most revolutionary naval architects of the twentieth century, HERE TODAY exemplifies his creativity in space utilization, seaworthiness, and performance. The cockpit, foredeck and flybridge provide ideal spots for lounging, fishing or entertaining, and when combined with the comfortable, spacious interior, create the illusion of a much larger yacht.
