Michael Rybovich & Sons PERSISTENCE Yacht Sold

Northrop & Johnson is pleased to announce the sale of the 2020 Michael Rybovich & Sons 78 Sportfish, PERSISTENCE, with Yacht Broker Kevin Merrigan representing the buyer. Known for her design and renowned blue water performance, PERSISTENCE is built to elevate the sportfishing experience, blending Michael Rybovich & Sons’ craftsmanship with advanced technology and comfort.

At 78 feet, PERSISTENCE offers a comfortable onboard experience designed with four spacious staterooms, each with a private ensuite bath. The VIP stateroom forward features an oversized queen bed and elegant cabinetry, while the master stateroom amidships stretches nearly full-beam, with plenty of room to relax. In the companionway leading to the lower-level staterooms, you’ll find practical touches like cedar-lined double-hanging lockers, a laundry center and linen closets. Just aft, two additional guest staterooms with twin beds offer versatile configurations.

In the main salon, an L-shaped leather-trimmed sofa faces a concealed TV, complemented by a wine cooler and ice maker—perfect for relaxing after a day of fishing. Moving forward, the galley and dinette area is designed with concealed top-tier appliances, a walk-around island with three leather-trimmed bar stools and a comfortable booth-style dinette.

Outside, PERSISTENCE shines with her cockpit and mezzanine seating area—crafted with fishing in mind but ideal for lounging as well. Plush, air-conditioned seating, a varnished teak bulkhead and a wide overhang create a comfortable and shaded spot for anglers and guests alike. With the full Tuna Tower by Bausch Towers and top-of-the-line fishing tech, PERSISTENCE is ready to perform at any tournament, combining functionality and style with the quality craftsmanship that Michael Rybovich & Sons is celebrated for.
