From time to time in this spot we will be featuring a Captain and his boat. To kick this thing off, we chose Captain John Adams and the 60' Rybovich "FONDANA"
Captain John Adams has worked in and around the Rybovich yard since he was a kid. He began his career mating for the old guard, the likes of which include his father, Bobby (R.T.) Adams, and the infamous Sonny Barr. In 1992 John got his first command on the 48' Viking "OUTTA HERE". John fished multiple seasons on that boat and "OUTTA HERE II", a 54' Monterey, in St. Thomas, the Bahamas, the Carolinas, Florida, and the Dominican Republic.
In 2003 John took the helm of the 37' Rybovich "THISTLE" and oversaw a major refit to her at the Ryco yard in Riviera Beach. Following her refit, he delivered the boat to the Northeast where he fished her for the Tuna season. At the end of 2003, John consulted on the building of a 65' and 74' Viking and delivered both boats to Puerto Rico.
In 2004 John was hired by John Rollins to run "FONDANA", a 54' Rybovich. When Rollins sold the 54' in 2007, John took the helm of the new "FONDANA", a 60' Rybovich. With the FONDANA operation, John has supervised many projects in the Rybovich yard and fished both boats from Maine to Mexico to St. Thomas. His loyalty and hard work in the care and maintainance of our boats along with his passion for fishing, anytime/anywhere, puts him up with the best. We're proud to have him on our side.
