With two Ryboviches under his belt, the owner of Persistence, Hull No. 5 by Michael Rybovich & Sons, knew exactly what he wanted for boat number three. As a summertime giant bluefin tuna fisherman, great lengths were taken when laying out a vessel that would not only meet the Rybovich standard, but also the needs of her owner. And when you want to ride to the fishing grounds and back in one day, speed and comfort was high on the priority list.

In the highly competitive boatbuilding world, one brand stands above all others. The resilience of the Rybovich name has been spotlighted, stripped, rehashed and reborn many times throughout the decades, but the true story has never been spoken. From the inside, I discovered that truth is usually stranger than fiction. For those who ever wondered: “What’s the real story?” I put on a hat I never thought I’d wear, and braced myself for the fallout. Turns out, Michael Rybovich appreciated the journalistic effort and answered every one of my questions without objection.

The award is named in honor of TBF’s Founder, a well-known angler, philanthropist and owner, at the time, of Allied Marine in Miami. Rockefeller sought scientific advice to identify the most pressing billfish research needs. He was told stock assessments, which dictated TBF’s first research commitment, followed by many other areas of research, though stock assessment science remains a priority. He also was committed to introducing children to fishing.

According to Dusty Rybovich, Hull No. 6 will be the largest boat the Rybovich family has built to date, and also the first straight-sheer boat it has constructed in more than a decade. It will feature an oversize cockpit and a stand-up tackle room below the mezzanine, in addition to a host of other fishing- and travel-friendly features.

Sport fishing is a lesser part of the overall boating scene in South Florida. Most boat owners are in it for cruising along. But considering the enormous scope of the marine industry in the state, fishing boats are still a major economic factor. And unlike much of the industry, which sees major yachts built all over the world, sport fishing boats, including the finest custom designs, are concentrated in Florida. There are four builders in the Stuart area alone.
