Gre\u00e5ker, Norway Based, CITO Shipyard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, Rino Berntsen founded CITO Boat. The company is based at Gre\u00e5ker, Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was driven by his deep passion for boats. He also has extensive expertise in the field of boat building garnered over numerous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s What We Like to See<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first model presented at BOOT 2024 was the CITO<\/a> XR7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They use Vinylester, which is stronger than ordinary polyester. Also 4-axled fiberglass mats combined with Kevlar as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future models are the XR9 (featuring a console and a bed) and the XR11 that incorporates a pilothouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has minimal weight, and a low center of gravity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The V-Air step hull generates enhanced efficiency and lift. Rigged outboards are from 200 to 300 hp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhanced by high-back suspension seats from Ullman Dynamics, the driving experience becomes truly smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

So proud to share that Ullman Dynamics<\/a> is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
