From her classic looks to her refined interior and tournament-ready cockpit, “Rhino” stands as both a preserved icon and a living expression of timeless maritime excellence.

“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.

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.

Her construction is double planked mahogany over cedar, bronze fastenings, and white oak framing— with planks adhered at their seams via epoxy for watertightness.
