**Why Choose the Herley 11 Explorer?** 

From the Herley Boats Manufacturer...

Confidence at sea At Herley Boats, we take great care in designing our vessels from the hull up to provide the ultimate ride and stability for our premium power boats. The Explorer 11 is no exception from the initial design phase, we prioritize engineering and craftsmanship to create a boat that not only looks great but performs exceptionally well on the water. Our team of expert pays close attention to every detail of the hull, ensuring that it is optimized for a smooth and comfortable ride, even in choppy waters. in addition to the hull, we carefully consider other important factors that contribute to the overall stability of the vessel, such as the weight distribution, center of gravity, and the balance of the boat. All of these elements work together to provide a stable and secure platform for any water-based activity. Whether you are out fishing, diving, or simply cruising, the Explorer 11 has been designed with your comfort and safety in mind. At Herley Boats, we are committed to providing the best ride and stability for all of our vessels, and the Explorer 11 is no exception. The plumb bow design on the Herley Explorer 11 is a key feature that provides both comfort and stability when out on the water. the plumb bow, which is a vertical stem at the very front of the boat, creates a sharper entry point into the water, which allows the boat to slice through waves more easily and smoothly. This means that even when the boat is underway in choppy waters, passengers will experience less jarring and bouncing, resulting in a more comfortable ride.in addition to providing a smoother ride, the plumb bow design also enhances stability when the boat is at rest. The sharper angle of the bow creates a larger surface area at the front of the boat, which means there is more buoyancy and a reduced tendency to pitch and roll. This can be especially important when fishing or at anchor, as it allows for a more stable and secure platform. Overall, the plumb bow design on the Herley Explorer 11 is a feature that greatly improves both comfort and stability, making it an ideal vessel for any water-based activity.

Equally suited for our adverse Pacific Northwest open waters & coastlines, this vessel combines durability, custom functionality, and comfort into one package—ready to take you from the tranquil waters of Puget Sound to the wilds of Alaska. Whether fishing, exploring, or cruising, it’s the perfect vessel for those who demand reliability and versatility.
