RYBOVICH BOATS West Palm Beach FL |

Most recent update: October 22, 2021. |
||||||||
John Rybovich & Sons Boat Works was started in the 1930s, as a repair and refit center. After WWII, John Rybovich's three sons took over and began building sportfishing boats. They sold the yard in 1975 and it has changed the ownership structure several times since then, resulting in a wide variety of corporate entities. Visit the yard at www.rybovich.com and see it from the air on Google here. In addition, visit the latest incarnation of the company at www.MichaelRybovichandSons.com, which includes the definitive directory of Rybovich boats. The table below has been extensively revised but is still very confusing and has some gaps: please send any additions or corrections to timcolton@aol.com. |
