Founded in 1985 by Egil Ranvig, Cormate has its origins in the heart of Hydro-Design, known for crafting exceptional watercraft that reshape the boundaries of speed and performance. Emerging as a key player in the industry, Cormate started by revolutionizing waterski boats and quickly moved to dominate the center console boat market with classics such as the F-18 and F-20.
Ranvig's expertise, coupled with a commitment to quality, has resulted in a new era of sophisticated racing boats. When manufacturing rights were regained, a fresh chapter began. Cormate, with its CADCAM construction methods, represents a leap forward, marrying timeless lines with modern layouts suited for today's boating lifestyle.
Achieving accolades like 'The Boat of the Year' at the Norwegian Boat Show, Cormate has consistently impressed with models like the T-28. This recognition continued internationally with awards at the Warsaw boat show, solidifying Cormate's reputation for unmatched seaworthiness and pioneering designs.
With a rich legacy in offshore racing, Cormate boats carry with them the essence of hydrodynamic expertise. Tested and perfected in Norway, each model is a testament to more than 30 years of advanced innovation in high-performance boating, ensuring that heritage and racer’s edge live on.
