Michael Rybovich & Sons: III Amigos

January 4, 2022 By InTheBite Digital Editor

Four generations have persevered in keeping the Rybovich family business afloat and hull #6 built at the Michael Rybovich & Sons yard represents many significances. This functionally luxurious 94-footer is the largest boat ever built by the Rybovich clan and the first to feature an enclosed flybridge.

III Amigos is also the first Rybovich to display a straight-sheer profile since Almar was splashed in 2007 and incorporates design cues from the family’s first naval architect and marine engineer—Dusty Rybovich. Despite the many novelties, III Amigos is a classic Rybovich through and through, retaining a clean foredeck, moderately raked house and cold-molded construction techniques.
