This boat combines the speed, agility and control of a small boat with the spacious, luxurious and relaxing abilities large yachts offer. The compact boat has been nicknamed a "[semi shape-shifter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-offgrid-house)" due to its deceivingly small stature that can grow at the touch of a button. The [modular deck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-electric-surfboard) has been designed with water-based retreats and parties in mind, offering more space to sun bathe and take in the gorgeous scenery with up to 12 guests. The yacht has two cabins and a bathroom, making for the perfect vessel to enable an ideal afternoon on the water. Designed in an electric blue, this dynamic device could revolutionize the leisure boat industry, providing a best-of-both-worlds scenario for boat enthusiasts and hobbyists alike.
