There are certainly advantage to having a [small yacht](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-jet-ski-yacht) -- when you're in the marina.

The Fines Foldable Multi-Hull Boat is a brilliant concept motorboat that can actually increase its deck space on demand.

Squeeze out of your tight slip at the wharf and feel free to bring quite a few passengers. The moment that the bay opens up, you can send the [wing-like sides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina-foldable-trailer) of this watercraft outwards to double its area. Julian Pröll's clever vessel becomes a bit of a private island off the ocean's coastline. The Fines Foldable Multi-Hull Boat lets you and your companions spread out to lounge around and sunbathe with plenty of deck to share around.
