In 1986 the opportunity to become a partner in a Bertram dealership in South Texas sounded too good to pass up. Today, with 29 years of experience in the boat business behind him, Bill is able to provide his clients with the product knowledge and firsthand experience that have come to be his trademark.
The lack of high pressure selling and the ability to answer questions honestly and thoroughly have provided Bill’s clients with a comfort level that has kept them coming back to him for many years.
Specializing in large custom sportfisherman and motoryachts, Bill is always eager to help and guide his clients toward selecting the right boat. Be it new construction or brokerage, there is no substitute for firsthand knowledge and experience.
Bill’s latest endeavor is the founding of Michael Rybovich & Sons Yacht Sales, with Michael himself, at the new yard in Palm Beach Gardens.

In the 1970s Mike managed Bertram Yacht yard in Miami, for Dick Bertram, and later his family boat yard in Stuart, FL.
In 1980 Mike joined Rybovich & Sons Boat Works in West Palm Beach and remained there, working in many capacities including President, through 1991.
Mike has previously served as President of the Marine Industries Association in Martin County, Director of Marine Industries Association of South Florida and President of the Stuart Sailfish Club.
Mike’s job these days is running Gamefisherman Boats in Stuart, FL and now multitasking as a broker with Michael Rybovich & Sons Yacht Sales. Mike has actually owned two Rybovich boats himself. Mike says “It’s great to again be associated with the Rybovich Family!”
If you would like a knowledgeable broker to work for you, give Mike a call!
