Greåker, Norway, Based CITO Shipyard
In 2023, Rino Berntsen founded CITO Boat, based at Greåker, Norway, driven by his deep passion for boats and extensive expertise in the field of boat building garnered over numerous years.
That’s What We Like to See
The first model presented at BOOT 2024 was the CITO XR7.
They use Vinylester, which is stronger than ordinary polyester. Also 4-axled fiberglass mats combined with Kevlar as well.
Future models are the XR9 (featuring a console and a bed) and the XR11 that incorporates a pilothouse.
It has minimal weight, and a low center of gravity.
The V-Air step hull generates enhanced efficiency and lift. Rigged outboards are from 200 to 300 hp.
What drew my immediate focus was the sleek and minimalist design of the steering console. I’m intrigued to see how clients will respond to this.
Enhanced by high-back suspension seats from Ullman Dynamics, the driving experience becomes truly smooth.
So proud to share that Ullman Dynamics is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.
