  • Michael Rybovich has combined his current boat-building business (Ryco Marine Custom Boat Works) with that of his family’s (RYBOVICH), now owned by Wayne Huizenga Jr. A third-generation builder and 30-year veteran of the industry, Rybovich could not pass up the offer to work again with the company his grandfather, uncles and father pioneered. Rybovich commented that although it has been extremely rewarding to build boats under his own brand, the opportunity to bring himself and his entire staff back to building boats under the Rybovich name was something he could not turn away from.
