In a bold move to make luxury yachting more accessible, the stunning and rare classic 1955 fishing machine, S/F TWENTY, has announced a significant price reduction. Originally listed at a higher value, this meticulously refitted masterpiece is now available for a remarkable USD 420,000.
S/F TWENTY, commissioned in 1955 by Carl Badenhausen of Ballentine Brewing, holds a unique place in maritime history. The decision to commission this vessel was influenced by the legendary Ernest Hemingway, who believed that owning a Rybovich would redefine the sportfishing experience with unparalleled style and class.
Crafted with the expertise of Johnny & Tommy Rybovich, the minds behind its design, TWENTY features the distinctive ‘broken sheer’ Rybovich signature style in its hull. As the 20th hull of its kind, this classic is a true embodiment of timeless elegance, constructed with exquisite mahogany plank on frame.
Following an extensive refit in Japan in 2014, TWENTY has been diligently maintained and continuously kept in impeccable condition. The engines, generator, and interior furnishings have been replaced with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a seamless blend of classic charm and modern functionality.
Despite its age, S/F TWENTY is not just a showpiece but an active participant in fishing tournaments, consistently showcasing its prowess on the water. The commitment to its preservation is evident as the vessel has been stored out of the water when not in use, with marine professionals providing dedicated care.
This price reduction presents a rare opportunity for enthusiasts to acquire a perfectly preserved piece of maritime history. With a new price tag of USD 420,000, S/F TWENTY invites discerning buyers to experience the allure of classic sportfishing in a vessel that effortlessly combines tradition and sophistication.
