The luxury vessel has been described as designed by Darth Vader due to the shape of its expandable wings
The expandable wings are very unusual in their shape and are said to resemble TIE Fight Crafts in Star Wars
The boat is built with resin-infused fibreglass and decked out in teak.
Its wings will increase the deck surface area of the 42 foot long boat by about 40 per cent so that a bigger, 269 square feet lounge area is created in the rear of the boat.
It can be used as a sun deck with built-in deckchairs and a diving platform.
When the wing are folded, the sleek, black vessel resembles any other boat on the water.
Below deck there is a double cabin with wardrobe, bathroom and dining area, which do not expand.
The boat can travel at 38 knots and has a range of 300 miles.
A spokesman for Italian-based Evo Yachts, which has designed and built the Evo 43, said: 'Guests on board can make use of this technically complex innovation simply at the touch of a screen.
'The transformation is a means of achieving the comfort and space of a much bigger class.
'The platform can be used as a precious aid while boarding or disembarking the craft at the quay.'
