2003 Rybovich Convertible

Even though this 2003 Rybovich 65 Convertible sold for $2,500,000, it represented an exceptional opportunity for a discerning buyer. Rybovich is synonymous with custom craftsmanship, and this 65-footer, with its classic wooden hull, offered a ride and feel that modern fiberglass boats simply can't replicate. We had it listed at $3,200,000, and while the final sale price reflected market realities, the value was undeniable for someone seeking a true sportfishing legend. Its 18-foot beam provided a remarkably stable platform for offshore work, and the expansive cockpit was perfectly laid out for serious tournament fishing. For a boat of this caliber, the attention to detail in its build meant it was designed to handle big seas and deliver anglers to the bite in comfort. While specific bridge clearance wasn't a primary concern for its offshore purpose, its design allowed for easy navigation in most major fishing grounds. A Rybovich isn't just a boat; it's a piece of maritime art, and this 65 Convertible was a prime example of that legacy, offering a blend of performance and timeless elegance that few other brands can match. Yacht Access was proud to represent such a magnificent vessel.

The Rybovich 65 Convertible was perfectly suited for serious tournament sportfishing out of the Palm Beach area, with ample range for extended trips to the Bahamas or even the Caribbean. Its robust construction and generous cockpit made it ideal for chasing billfish and tuna in challenging offshore conditions.

This Rybovich typically attracted an experienced owner-operator who appreciates bespoke craftsmanship and the unique ride of a wooden hull, often upgrading from a production sportfish. It appealed to a buyer passionate about serious offshore fishing and who valued the heritage and prestige of the Rybovich name.
