Rybovich 32 Express Walkaround Sportfish Charmer

Boat Overview

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.
