ROSE - RYBOVICH / RYCO FOR SALE

60' Custom Cold‑Molded Luxury Sportfisher • 1998

Crafted in the United States and built to roam blue water with grace, this 60-foot custom cold-molded yacht blends timeless lines with the quiet strength and agility that seasoned captains prize. Her broad 17-foot beam delivers a commanding stance and incredible volume, while the cold-molded hull and deck provide a uniquely smooth, solid ride—warm, hushed, and confidently surefooted in a seaway.

Twin Caterpillar inboard diesels sit at the heart of this vessel, offering the dependable torque and long-legged efficiency for which the marque is known. A robust 1,500-gallon fuel capacity invites ambitious passages and tournament weeks alike, and a 250-gallon freshwater reserve keeps life onboard easy and self-sufficient. Whether you’re chasing horizons or billfish, she answers with poise, range, and satisfying throttle response.

Step aboard and you’ll find the kind of open, work-ready cockpit that serious anglers and active families appreciate—broad, uncluttered, and designed to move, rig, and relax with equal confidence. The cold-molded deck underfoot feels substantial and quiet, a hallmark of custom construction that elevates every moment onboard. From the helm, sightlines are superb, controls are intuitive, and the ride is reassuring—predictable tracking, crisp turns, and an athletic balance between performance and comfort.

Inside, the salon welcomes with warm, handcrafted joinery and a layout that encourages lingering sunsets and easy conversation. Natural light pours in, softening the boundary between sea and sanctuary. A well-equipped galley serves as the social hub, and the accommodations below are arranged to host family and guests in comfort, with generous storage and thoughtfully appointed heads. It’s a space designed not just to travel, but to live well—quiet mornings at anchor, festive evenings after a perfect day offshore, and everything in between.

With the soul of a custom build and the stamina to match, this 1998 beauty stands as a rare opportunity: a true bluewater performer with elegant proportions, enduring materials, and an inviting, upscale presence. Lying in the United States and ready to impress, she’s equally at home cruising refined coastal playgrounds or leading the charge in the canyons.
