2012 Custom Carolina Ritchie Howell 60 Sportfish: A Legacy of Craftsmanship
The 2012 Ritchie Howell 60 Sportfish is more than just a vessel; it is a testament to the rich legacy of custom sportfishing boat building. Designed and crafted by one of Wanchese, North Carolina's most respected builders, this yacht reflects decades of expertise, innovation, and dedication to quality.
Ritchie Howell: A Builder's Journey
Ritchie Howell's journey to becoming a master craftsman began as a commercial tuna fisherman, where he honed his understanding of the sea and the demands of sportfishing. Howell built his reputation as a boutique boat builder focused on creating vessels tailored to their owners, with a meticulous attention to detail that ensures every boat is both functional and a work of art.
From his first hand-drawn designs to today’s computer-engineered precision, Howell’s designs have evolved dramatically. With a dedication to building only one or two boats at a time, every Ritchie Howell vessel is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and innovation. Owners enjoy a personal relationship with Howell throughout the build, ensuring a truly custom experience.
Unmatched Performance and Luxury
This 60-foot sportfish embodies Howell's commitment to excellence. Highlights include:
- Superior Power and Handling: Twin Caterpillar C18 engines and ZF 4000 series pods deliver unmatched performance and maneuverability. The vessel's joystick control stations make docking a breeze.
- Fishing Excellence: Designed with anglers in mind, it features an in-deck fish box, Hooker livewell systems, and multiple freezer boxes to support long fishing trips.
- Luxurious Comfort: The three-stateroom layout, complete with a forward king master suite, midship double bunk room, and aft twin bunk room, ensures ample space and comfort for guests. Five-zone air conditioning keeps the interior cool and inviting.
- Modern Amenities: The Raymarine GS series electronics suite, Starlink connectivity, and new ultra-leather upholstery elevate both functionality and aesthetics.
Custom Carolina Heritage
Ritchie Howell boats stand out in the crowded world of sportfishing yachts for their balance of classic design and modern innovation. Built in the heart of Wanchese, North Carolina, each vessel carries the DNA of a rich boat-building culture that values tradition, precision, and performance.
