About Rhino

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">“RHINO” is one of the rarest classic American sportfishing yachts ever built, one of only five Rybovich Yachtfish models produced by the legendary Palm Beach yard. Beautifully restored by Michael Rybovich, she presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a truly iconic example of American boat building.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Originally built in 1958, RHINO recently underwent a meticulous two-year stem-to-stern restoration, transforming her into a striking modern classic while preserving the timeless craftsmanship and pedigree that define a Rybovich. The result is a yacht that blends historic character with modern reliability, performance, and systems.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Her construction is double planked mahogany over fir, bronze fastening, and white oak framing, with planks adhered at their seams via epoxy for watertightness.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Powered by twin Cummins QSM11 715HP diesel engines, RHINO delivers impressive performance for a classic sportfisherman, cruising comfortably around 25 knots with a top speed approaching 30 knots.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The interior offers a well-appointed three-stateroom layout, including a full-beam master aft with private head and direct cockpit access, guest accommodations amidships, and crew quarters forward. The salon maintains the warm elegance expected of a classic yacht, featuring an L-Shaped settee with custom hi-low table, traditional joinery, and thoughtful detailing throughout. The galley and dinette retain the authentic Rybovich aesthetic with original cabinetry and modern appliances.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The air conditioned bridge deck showcases a varnished mahogany centerline helm with classic Rybovich gauges, modern Garmin electronics, and custom seating, combining vintage character with contemporary navigation capability.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In the cockpit, RHINO remains every bit the serious sportfisherman. Features include built-in bait freezers, livewell, tackle center and Eskimo ice maker, making her equally suited for offshore fishing or elegant cruising.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Professionally maintained and consistently cared for, RHINO stands today as both a capable sportfishing yacht and a highly collectible example of American maritime craftsmanship, a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored Rybovich with pedigree, performance, and presence rarely seen on the market.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Key Features:</span></p><p><br></p><ul><li><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Extremely Rare Pedigree – One of only five Rybovich Yachtfish models ever built</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Restored by Michael Rybovich – Extensive two-year stem-to-stern restoration</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Classic Wood Construction – Mahogany planking over cedar with bronze fastenings and white oak framing</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Twin Cummins QSM11 715HP Diesels – Approx. 25-knot cruise / 30-knot top speed</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Three-Stateroom Layout – Full-beam master aft with private head and cockpit access</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Air-Conditioned Bridge Deck – Varnished mahogany helm with classic instrumentation</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Garmin Electronics Suite – Radar, chartplotters, autopilot, SiriusXM weather and navigation systems</span>Starlink</li><li>Tournament-Ready Cockpit – Tackle center, bait freezers, livewell and Eskimo ice maker</li><li>Teak Decking and Mahogany Joinery – Timeless craftsmanship throughout</li><li>20kW Westerbeke Generator</li><li>500 Gallon Fuel Capacity / 250 Gallon Fresh Water</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Professionally Maintained – Above-average condition with extensive capital improvements</li></ul> <br> <i> Resolute Yachting is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel.
