Description
Experience the timeless allure of a true sportfishing legend with Charmer, a magnificent 1985 Rybovich 32 Express.
Originally commissioned as the Ruthie, this vessel has undergone two extensive refits, both meticulously executed by Mike Rybovich himself. Beyond her stunning aesthetics, Charmer's performance and fishability truly set her apart, allowing her to fish alongside boats twice her size in rough waters, thanks in part to her new bottom.
She boasts (2002) 500Hp Yanmar Diesel engine, bow thruster, AC/Heat and a full electronics suite. Her teak deck, varnished teak toe rail, cap rail, and helm pod exude classic elegance, while practical features like a transom door, Bluewater rocket launcher and Rupp swivel rod holders highlight her fishing pedigree.
Charmer is not just a beautiful boat, but a meticulously maintained testament to Rybovich's enduring legacy of craftsmanship and performance. Don't miss the chance to own this exceptional express fishing yacht and embark on your next unforgettable angling adventure. Call for an appointment to see this great boat!
She is now stored indoors heated building for the 2025-2026 winter season.
Ghost Yachts is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. This boat is centrally listed by Latitude Yacht Brokerage. It is offered as a convenience by this broker/dealer to its clients and is not intended to convey direct representation of a particular vessel
