Sunseeker 65 Sport Yacht

As I ran the Sunseeker 65 Sport Yacht from what the builder calls the SkyHelm on the flybridge, one word came to mind: fun.

This yacht, powered with optional 1,000 hp Volvo Penta IPS1350 diesels paired to pod drives, streaked across the Gulf Stream’s 3- to 5-footers at just shy of 35 knots. As we left Florida in our wake, the 40-ton yacht maneuvered like a sports car. No matter how hard or fast I cranked the wheel, it just banked solidly and asked for more.

The Sunseeker 65 Sport Yacht is aptly named—for more than one reason. Designers penned the flybridge layout from a blank sheet to create a youthful, chic style. They studied today’s supercars, such as England’s 217 mph Aston Martin Valhalla. Two low-slung bucket seats are separated by a carbon-fiber, silver-lacquered console that would look at home in the latest Gulfstream G700 business-jet cockpit, right down to the throttles under the skipper’s hand.

To me, the coolest feature—an idea clearly borrowed from personal watercraft—is the steering pod that hinges up and locks in position. Yes, it has a steering wheel instead of handle bars. And, it allows the skipper to do two things: gain easy access to and from the bucket seat, and stand next to the SkyHelm, with its joystick controlling the twin pod drives and Side-Power bow thruster, providing an unrestricted view of the vessel while docking. It is a brilliant setup.

Sunseeker 65 Sport Yacht

Stepping into the salon, I found coolly serene styling similar to a Cannes, France, penthouse overlooking La Croisette or a top-floor Miami suite on Biscayne Bay. Nearly 360 degrees of glass, low and comfortable furniture, and calmness exude from the smoked eucalyptus woods and nubby upholstery. The salon is designed for entertaining, with a settee to port around a folding/sliding table and a couch opposite. A notable feature is the single-level sole from the transom to the windshield, with no steps. The 7-foot-3-inch headroom adds to the feeling of spaciousness.

Aft is an optional teak hydraulic swim platform that can lift a Williams 345 SportJet. If owners don’t want the tender on the transom, they can use the garage that’s tucked in the transom; it can handle that same 11-foot-3-inch tender, with the rollers and chocks offset to port, so there is also room for Seabobs, paddleboards, dive gear or other toys.

The cockpit has a settee with a table. The yacht’s aft-galley arrangement helps the space blend with the salon. Doors framed in stainless steel slide away, and the galley’s electric window drops for pass-throughs.

Sunseeker 65 Sport Yacht

The galley has a Miele three-burner cooktop, undercounter convection oven, dishwasher, ice maker, and stowage for glasses, dishes and silverware, all fiddled to prevent rattles. Rather than a full-height fridge that would block views, the 65 Sport Yacht has twin fridges under the counter to starboard.

The lower helm station has a pair of bucket seats with arms, as well as twin 15-inch Garmin displays. The design team injected a retro look on the console with round, analog gauges reminiscent of older Corvettes, and provided niceties such as stainless-steel footrests and an opening window next to the skipper.

Owners have several choices for the accommodations deck, including a galley-down layout, but I particularly liked the three-stateroom plan on this yacht. Each stateroom is en suite with Villeroy & Boch vessel sinks and Tecma heads. There is also a day head, so the staterooms remain private.

Access belowdecks is via a foyer that really should be called an atrium lobby because it is voluminous and opens to the windscreen above it. To starboard is a guest stateroom with twin berths and a full-height hanging locker (no crumpled clothes) with the en suite just forward. The VIP stateroom fills the bow with an island queen berth, drawer stowage, a hanging locker and more stowage below the berth.

Sunseeker 65 Sport Yacht

The master stateroom uses the yacht’s 16-foot-8-inch beam to house a centerline berth and, on this yacht, a settee to port with a vanity/ desk. Windows with opening ports bring in light and a view, and the 6-foot-6-inch headroom adds to the airiness. One interesting option is to close off the passage to the master stateroom (this boat had a washer/dryer there) and add a desk or fourth stateroom with a bunk.

Access to the crew cabin is via a hatch from the cockpit under the bridge ladder. This cabin could be a teenage hangout; it has a single berth, sink and head, but no shower. The stairs to the bridge fold into an overhead recess.

The Sunseeker 65 Sport Yacht should prove a willing partner for whatever the mood: quiet entertaining in the cockpit and salon, gracious nights in the staterooms, or a playful romp across the ocean waves. The options are almost as endless as the horizon ahead.

Fortress of Quietude

With its resin-infused construction, the Sunseeker 65 Sport Yacht emitted nary a creak or groan while running across the lumpy Gulf Stream. Solid insulation meant that at full throttle, my decibel meter in the salon barely registered 75, which is about the level of a vacuum cleaner. With the engines off, there was no way to know if the 17 kW generator was even running without looking at the instruments. 

A Glazed Look

Sunseeker uses windows and ports to deliver light to the interior and create panoramic views from inside. Windows that are 6-by-4 feet line the salon, so seated guests have uninterrupted views on all sides. From the exterior, the glazing uses automotive technology for frameless flush mounting, turning the dark-tinted window shapes into rakish styling lines on the hull sides and house.

OUR ADVANCED TOOLKIT

carene-infografiche_RGB

TRIPLE POD PROPULSION COMBINED WITH CARBON FIBER

The adoption of triple Pod propulsion, combined with the optimization of the water lines and the extensive use of carbon fiber, reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 20 to 30%* in the main speed range.

*compared to vessels of the same weight and size with a traditional hard-chine hull and shaft line propulsion

Carbon tech_0012_S7

Azimut’s pioneering use of carbon fiber lamination goes beyond pure performance. The Carbon Tech Generation offers expanded volumes onboard, while maintaining excellent dynamic stability and perfect handling. Preserving the yacht’s low center of gravity, the carbon fiber was focused on the upper parts of the yacht, lightening the laminated components by up to 30% and reducing the natural roll momentum up to 15%.

Azimut_TF_Active-trim-control

Automated interceptors optimize the trim at every speed to maintain ideal hydrodynamics for performance and efficiency, at the same time negating any lateral imbalance due to sidewinds or weight distribution. With the pilot’s peace of mind assured, the driving experience is simpler and more enjoyable.

Azimut_TF_Garmin-Control-and-Monitoring-System

The custom-installed Garmin electronics have been integrated to control and monitor every onboard system: from engines and alarms, to bilge and water discharge pumps, tank levels and engine room ventilation, right through to the sound system and the air conditioning units. The system can be accessed onboard from both the interior and exterior helm stations and, with the mobile app, remotely from a tablet or smartphone.

Azimut_TF_Advanced-Joystick-Controls

The Joystick acts as an analog for the yacht, offering intuitive, one-handed control in every situation. When the yacht is stopped, moving the Joystick forward or back, side to side, and twisting clockwise or counter-clockwise activates the engines to mimic that motion. It’s the easiest way to pull off precise maneuvers. When Joystick Driving is activated, the autopilot is immediately engaged. For a simple course correction, the pilot just needs to twist and release the joystick to change it by a fixed increment, or twist and hold to change it by by multiple increments.. The Autopilot keeps a forward course after the Joystick is released.

Sunseeker’s 75 Sport Yacht Blends Opulent Luxury with Sporty Performance

  • Writer Craig Ritchie

Plenty of luxury yachts come wrapped in a sporty exterior styling suggesting a muscular foundation capable of performance to match their bold look. But not all deliver on that promise. After all, it’s no easy task getting 40 or 50 tons of boat to soar like a racer and slalom like an Olympic champ.

sports yacht

Looking at the 75 Sport Yacht from the water, the first word that leaps to mind is athleticism. One frequently hears the terms “sleek” and “elegant” used to describe sport yachts, but the Sunseeker 75 looks more like a cat crouched low and ready to pounce. A big part of that is its iconic sports bridge, steeply raked vertical surfaces, and distinctive glazing treatments, but there’s more at play here.

Boarding at the sprawling, hydraulically actuated swim platform that yields direct water access, four steps to either side lead up and forward into the cockpit. Between them, the first step extends the full width of the stern to provide a handy spot for donning swim fins or towelling off after a dip. The starboard side opens to reveal a substantial tender garage, large enough to conceal a Williams 395 and fitted with an integrated tender recovery roller system for effortless launch and recovery. Look more closely, and you’ll spot the neatly integrated deck lighting that adds a warm ambiance and striking appearance.

sports yacht

The design of the 75 Sport Yacht neatly blends outdoor and indoor spaces into a single, continuous entertaining area thanks in part to its innovative cockpit door design. The door slides to starboard then lowers beneath the cockpit decking to disappear when not needed. A wide promenade leads forward to the foredeck, with its expansive U-shaped, forward-facing seating area and a second sun pad.

The port side of the cockpit provides access to the 75 Sport Yacht’s fantastic sports bridge. On the upper deck, there is a variety of appealing seating options, a wet bar with water, a refrigerator, and an available barbecue grill and ice maker. Four Fusion Audio speakers provide concert hall sound to create exactly the right atmosphere whether underway or on the hook.

Inside, the main deck salon features a fold-out table to starboard, a large HDTV to port, and flexible seating throughout. Being a Sunseeker, the fittings, upholstery, and overall fit and finish of the yacht are, as always, in a class of their own. Expansive glazing and a panoramic, sliding sunroof overhead flood the space with both natural sunlight and fresh air.

The standard belowdecks arrangement is a three-stateroom arrangement with a full-beam owner’s suite, a huge VIP stateroom in the bow, and a roomy twin stateroom amidships. Owners can also choose a four-stateroom layout, if desired.

The galley space features high-end Miele appliances, including a fridge-freezer, plus dedicated cabinetry for crockery, cutlery, and glassware and an available 20-bottle wine cooler. The lower deck also includes a roomy saloon for early morning or after-hours relaxation in greater privacy.

We Took Sunseeker’s New 75-Foot Sports Yacht Out for a Cruise. Here’s What It’s Like on the Water.

A sea-trial in rough offshore conditions made us understand how the predator got its name., howard walker, howard walker's most recent stories.

Last week, I had the chance to do a sea trial on the new Predator flagship. The other models in the series include 55- and 65-foot models. The 75, which replaces the 74 XPS, shares the same hull as the Sunseeker 75 Sport Yacht, but without its flybridge. The long foredeck and swept-back hardtop of the new Predator makes it look fast, even at the dock in Fort Lauderdale.

Sunseeker Predator 75

The 75’s theoretical top end of 40 knots comes courtesy of the upgraded 1,900 hp MAN V12 turbo diesels. A whopping 3,800 horses. Smaller, standard 1,550 hp versions are available. But as Loran Stavrou of OneWater Yacht Group, the U.S. distributor, puts it during the test: “It’s a Predator. Why would you want smaller engines?”

The Predator concept has been a staple in the British yacht builder’s line since 1996, when the first 80 was launched. The idea was to create a yacht that was fast and beautiful, but with a sizable interior. The lack of a flybridge means that you’re steering inside from the helm on the main deck, rather than up top in the open air.

Sunseeker 75 Predator

It was a feisty day out in the Atlantic as we exited Fort Lauderdale via the cruise ship channel, with a strong northerly throwing up four- to five-foot waves. We closed the sunroof to fend off the inevitable spray, pushed forward the throttles, and to the accompaniment of a lovely, throaty turbo whistle, the 52-ton Predator climbed up on plane.

With the wind behind us, we got close to the Sunseeker’s claimed 40-knot top speed, but the water was too rough to see what the boat could really do at speed in flat conditions. That day was more about running through, avoiding and occasionally slamming into the ocean swells. Throttling back to the yacht’s 30-knot sweet spot put the Predator right in its element, turning the slamfest into a fun ride.

We spent close to an hour offshore. Hard-over turns on the 75’s deep-V hull delivered the kind of super-tight response one might expect from a 30-foot sport boat. The turns became even more dramatic when the Predator’s Side-Power Vector fin stabilizers temporarily acted up, creating even sharper leans as we did tight circles.

The Sunseeker 75

After playing in the surf, we returned to the dock, noting how well the 75 maneuvers in tight quarters with the bow thruster.

During a walkthrough, the Predator’s softer side became apparent, especially the way the salon flowed into the rear cockpit, courtesy of big, power-sliding glass doors that drop out of sight. The ability to open the boat to the elements, or close down instantly with the push of a button, is key to understanding the Predator ethos.

Sunseeker Predator 75 sport yacht

Back inside the boat, the galley-down arrangement may not be too thrilling to those who would rather cook on the main deck with everyone else. But the glass sunroof, windshield, and lower-deck side windows delivered plenty of natural light. The galley was equipped with Miele appliances, including a full-sized fridge, freezer, and 33-bottle wine cooler.

Sunseeker Predator 75 sports yacht

The Predator shares the same three-bedroom layout as its 75 Sport Yacht sibling. The full-beam master amidships, large VIP cabin in the bow, and a guest cabin with twins were all ensuite, boasting seven feet of headroom. There was also a stateroom for two crew, though a surprising number of 75s are owner-operated. Sunseeker also used quality materials throughout, with high-end finishes like carbon fiber, Calacatta quartz, bleached oak and stainless steel. Fit and finish was universally strong.

Pricing for this new Predator 75 starts at around $4.6 million, with our heavily optioned test boat stickering for $5.72 million. After our lively sea trial, I also realized that, as part of its DNA, each Predator comes with a license to thrill.

Sunseeker reveals new 55 Sport Yacht model

Sunseeker has introduced a new addition to its Sport Yacht fleet with a brand new 17.1-metre model. The 55 Sport Yacht is set to launch in 2025 and is built on the proven technical platform of the Superhawk 55.

The new model will have the same signature speed and performance of the Sport Yacht line, with the added benefit of a flexible interior designed to suit a range of owners. The yacht will offer two helming positions, including an upper helm with companion seating as well as a traditional interior helm console with twin bolstered seats. 

Other al fresco areas include an aft cockpit which is shaded by the Sport Bridge above and offers space for six guests to comfortably gather. A sunpad can be raised to reveal steps directly into the water, and also doubles as a storage space and launch system for a Williams TurboJet 325. Stowage for two SeaBobs is integrated on the underside of the garage door and there is a hydraulic bathing platform that lowers diagonally into the water.

The standard configuration comprises two cabins on the lower deck which are separated by a dining and utility space. The forward VIP cabin benefits from scissor berths, storage units and an en suite, and Sunseeker has said that both cabins have generous head heights that make the 55 Sport Yacht suited for long-distance cruising.

There is plenty of scope for customising the layout on this model, including the option to add an additional twin en suite cabin or amp up the size of the galley. 

Andrea Frabetti, Sunseeker's CEO said: “We are thrilled to reveal the 55 Sport Yacht concept as part of our plan to offer the broadest range in this category. The 55 Sport Yacht opens a new dimension of space in this size category. The second helm on the Sports Bridge offers that wind-in-the-hair feeling. It is a dynamic yacht that offers a level of separation for morning to evening cruising.”

The yacht is equipped with Twin Volvo Penta IPS 950 engines, totalling a top speed of 35 knots. During the yacht show, Sunseeker used the opportunity to reveal a first look inside its Ocean 182 model.

Weeks Before Mike Lynch Died in Yacht Sinking, He Spoke About Making the Most of 'Second Life'

Lynch was looking forward to "making up for lost time" with his family, a reporter who spoke to the businessman about his acquittal tells PEOPLE

British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch spoke about having a new lease on life and how he was looking forward to spending time with his family in the weeks before his death, according to a journalist who spoke with Lynch about his life after being acquitted of fraud.

On Thursday, Aug. 22, an Italian government official said Lynch's body had been retrieved  from the luxury yacht that sank off the coast of Sicily  days earlier, while his family and friends were celebrating his legal victory.

PEOPLE previously reported that  five bodies had been found  in the days after the  Bayesian  went into the water.

Although the Italian coast guard has not formally identified the bodies that have been recovered, an official with the Italian interior ministry,  confirmed to Reuters  that Lynch was one of the victim's found while his  daughter Hannah remained missing .

The father-daughter pair had been among six passengers missing in the aftermath of the sinking, while Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, was one of 15 people who were rescued.

The remaining victims reported as missing were Christopher Morvillo , a New York City attorney, his wife, jewelry designer Neda Morvillo; as well as Chairman of Morgan Stanley International Jonathan Bloomer, and his wife, Judy .

The body of victim, identified as chef Recaldo Thomas , was recovered shortly after the yacht went down.

In the weeks before the ill-fated trip, Lynch's life changed after being acquitted of multiple fraud and conspiracy charges following a lengthy legal battle.

Speaking with The Sunday Times in an interview that was published on July 27, the father of two said that when the verdict came in, it felt like he had been given a "second life."

But, he added, "The question is, what do you want to do with it?”

In 2018, federal prosecutors in California indicted Lynch on several counts of securities fraud and conspiracy, per the  Associated Press  and the  BBC . The indictment related to the 2011 sale of Autonomy, a business software company he founded, for $11 billion to Hewlett Packard, per the AP.

At the time, the sale made him one of the richest people in the U.K., according to CBS News .

Lynch, who faced spending up to 25 years in U.S. prison, spent years fighting extradition, according to the BBC. Last May, he was finally extradited from Britain and then spent 13 months under house arrest while waiting for the trial to begin, per The Sunday Times .

“If this had gone the wrong way, it would have been the end of life as I have known it in any sense," Lynch told the outlet , noting at another point that he also had "various medical things that would have made it difficult to survive."

The trial began in 2024 and in June, he was acquitted on all 15 counts.

As he wondered what he would do with his freedom, he even told the newspaper he was interested in creating a British equivalent to the American nonprofit the Innocence Project .

Speaking with PEOPLE before Lynch's body was recovered, Danny Fortson — who interviewed Lynch for the  The Sunday Times  — said that he felt the businessman was "excited and very thankful," but also still "struggling to accept" his new reality after such a sudden change.

He was also looking forward to "making up for lost time" with his family.

"This case, especially as it got closer to trial, became all-encompassing and so he missed out on a lot of stuff with his daughters," the journalist added.

According to The Sunday Times , Hannah was set to study poetry at Oxford while her older sister, 21, was studying physics at Imperial College, just like her father.

Hannah's disappearance left her former school Latymer Upper School in London "incredibly shocked."

In a statement obtained by PEOPLE before her body was found, a spokesperson said, "our thoughts are with their family and everyone involved as we await further updates."

The final body from the  luxury yacht that sank off the coast of Sicily has been found.

Italian coast guard sources told PEOPLE on Friday, Aug. 23 that the "last person still missing in the Palermo shipwreck is identified."

The discovery comes after four bodies were recovered on Wednesday, Aug, 21, while a fifth body was found in the wreckage.

The  Bayesian , a 183-foot vessel, sank around 5 a.m. local time on Monday, Aug. 19, while moored around a half mile from the coast of Porticello, according to an Italian coast guard statement previously obtained by PEOPLE.

At the time of the disaster the yacht was carrying 22 people. Immediately after it sunk, 15 people were rescued and 1 body was recovered — later identified as chef Recaldo Thomas.

On Thursday, Aug. 22, an Italian government official confirmed that British tech entrepreneur  Mike Lynch was among the dead.

While the Italian authorities have not formally identified the recovered bodies, an Italian interior ministry official confirmed that Lynch was one of the bodies found, reported Reuters . His  daughter Hannah remained missing at the time.

The father-daughter pair had been among six passengers missing in the aftermath of the sinking, while Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, was one of 15 people who were rescued.

Others missing have previously been identified as Chairman of Morgan Stanley International  Jonathan Bloomer, his wife, Judy , and New York City-based lawyer  Christopher Morvillo  and his wife, Neda.

A source close to the investigators dealing with the incident previously told PEOPLE that authorities are focusing on the victims before looking into what happened.

"Obviously the priority is being able to work out what has happened to those that are missing and recover any bodies," the source said. "At the moment,  no one has been placed under investigation  because until they find the bodies, they cannot evaluate any sort of accusation or charge."

“That's why he took his closest friends and colleagues on the trip,” the source said.

Morvillo  had represented Lynch  in the fraud case and other firm employees were on the  Bayesian  as well, a spokesperson for Clifford Chance, his law firm, said in a statement.

In story published on July 27 by  The Sunday Times  in a story published on July 27, Lynch said that he felt like he could have have died in prison had he been convicted.

“I have various medical things that would have made it difficult to survive,” Lynch, a father of two children — Hannah, 18, and another daughter, 21 — told the paper.

He wrote, "The terrible irony is that when we sat down last month, he made it clear that he felt he had won a new lease on life.’ ”

Divers uncover the 6th missing body after luxury superyacht sank in freak storm off Sicily. Here's what we know about the incident.

Rescue crews recovered the sixth and final missing body off the coast of Sicily, the Italian coast guard said Friday.

It's been five days since the Bayesian, a luxury superyacht, sank after it was caught in the middle of an unexpected and violent storm. Six passengers were reported missing at the time.

British tech magnate Mike Lynch, who seemed to have been hosting a celebration on the yacht after being acquitted of fraud charges in June, was one of those missing. His body was recovered on Thursday.

While Italian officials did not identify the last body, Lynch's 18-year-old daughter was the only person unaccounted for.

An investigation has been launched looking into the sinking. Naval marine experts said a boat like the Bayesian should have withstood the storm. Giovanni Costantino, the CEO of the Italian Sea Group, which owns the company that made the Bayesian, alleged to Reuters that the shipwreck was caused by "indescribable, unreasonable errors" made by the crew and not any design or construction issues.

What happened?

The Bayesian capsized about half a mile off the coast of Porticello, a small fishing village. There were 22 people on board — 12 passengers and 10 crew members. The City Council of Bagheria said in a statement that seven adults were taken to the emergency room following the rescue, but “it seems that none are in serious conditions.”

While crews searched for the remaining bodies, others are trying to confirm why the boat sank in the first place. According to a BBC report , a heavy storm hit the coast of Sicily and created waterspouts , which are tornadoes that form over water. The waterspout winds were so powerful that they broke the boat’s mast in half, causing the ship, which was anchored, to lose its balance and sink.

The U.K.’s Marine Accident Investigation Branch plans to send a team of four investigators to make a preliminary assessment of why the Bayesian sank and why people were still on board.

As the ship was going down, 15 people were able to make it to safety and were rescued by a nearby boat.

The crew on a Dutch-flagged vessel nearby noticed the yacht had disappeared and saw flares being set off in the sea. They went to help survivors before the Italian coast guard could arrive.

One British passenger, Charlotte Golunski, told reporters she kept her 1-year-old daughter alive by holding her up above the water until they got on a lifeboat.

The wreck was found around 164 feet beneath the water's surface. More than 400 people, including 28 specialist divers, were involved in the rescue efforts.

What to know about the Bayesian

Charter sites list the yacht’s weekly rent as $215,000, the Associated Press reported .

Boat International , a superyacht and luxury yacht guide, reported that the Bayesian had the tallest aluminum mast in the world at over 240 feet, making it one of the 50 largest sailing yachts in the world.

Who is Mike Lynch?

Lynch, 59, founded the software firm Autonomy and recently faced a legal battle with U.S.-based Hewlett-Packard after the tech company accused him of inflating Autonomy’s value in an $11 billion sale in 2011.

Lynch was acquitted of multiple fraud charges in June after a three-month trial, avoiding a potential 20-year jail sentence.

Body of British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch recovered from yacht, Italian official says, as divers search for his daughter

Porticello, Italy (CNN) —  The body of British tech entrepreneur  Mike Lynch  has been recovered from the sunken Bayesian superyacht, Italian interior ministry office Massimo Mariani told Reuters Thursday.

Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter Hannah is still missing, Mariani said, and divers are still  searching  the area where the vessel sank.

Earlier Thursday, a fifth body was brought to shore from the wreck of the boat, which sank earlier in the week. A CNN team on the ground saw Italian authorities move the body from a rescue boat to ambulances at the Sicilian port of Porticello.

As investigators probe the cause of the wreck, the CEO of the firm that owns the vessel’s manufacturer said the Bayesian was “unsinkable.”

“Sailing ships, it is well known, are the safest in the most absolute sense,” Giovanni Costantino, CEO of The Italian Sea Group, told Sky News in an interview. “First of all, because they have very little surface compared to a yacht facing into the wind. Second, with the structure of the drift keel, they become unsinkable bodies.”

Constantino said he was in a state of “sadness and disbelief” since learning that the Bayesian – built in 2008 by the Italian company Perini Navi, which was acquired by The Italian Sea Group in 2021 – sank early Monday.

The British-flagged vessel, carrying 22 people on board, rapidly sank after its mast, one of the world’s tallest, broke in half during a violent storm. Fifteen people were rescued on Monday and one body was recovered – thought to be that of the onboard chef Recaldo Thomas. Six others were initially reported missing.

The six individuals reported missing were Lynch and his daughter; Morgan Stanley International director Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy Bloomer; prominent American lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife, Neda Morvillo.

Italian authorities are not yet disclosing the names of all those whose bodies have been brought ashore. This is likely because in Italy, a person close to the deceased must formally identify the body, before a coroner or the prosecutor’s office confirms this.

Given that the sinking of the Bayesian is under criminal investigation, formal identifications will likely come from the prosecutor’s office. Italy’s civil protection agencies do not have the authority to confirm victims’ identities.

Since the boat sank, emergency crews have battled difficult conditions to enter the wreck, which is around 50 meters underwater (approximately 150 feet.) Divers have had around only 12 minutes to reach and explore the site before having to resurface.

Initial reports suggest a small  waterspout , which developed over the area the boat was in Siciliy on Monday morning, could have been behind the yacht’s sinking.

Four days in, Italian authorities are still trying to understand how the 56-meter (184-foot) yacht sank so quickly. Separately, the United Kingdom’s Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) has also opened an investigation, saying on Wednesday that it would deploy a team of four inspectors to Palermo to conduct a preliminary assessment of the scene.

CCTV shows footage of sinking

Waterspouts, a type of tornado, are spinning columns of air that form over water, or move from land out to water. They are often accompanied by  high winds, high seas, hail and dangerous lightning . While they are most common over tropical oceans, they can form almost anywhere. Waterspouts in Sicily, however are rare.

Costantino, CEO of The Italian Sea Group, stressed that there was no indication that the design or construction of the boat was at fault in the ship’s sinking. “This episode sounds like an unbelievable story, both technically and as a fact,” he said.

Unverified security camera footage released on Wednesday appears to have shown the moments that the tornado sank the yacht. As rain pelted down on the port, a grainy video shows the boat being battered by the storm, rocking violently from side to side before capsizing.

One witness, the owner of a villa looking out to where the Bayesian was anchored, said that after news of the sinking yacht emerged, he watched back his CCTV footage, where the boat could be seen sinking.

“In just 60 seconds, you can see the ship disappear,” he told Italian outlet ANSA. “You can see clearly what’s happening. There was nothing that could be done for the vessel. It disappeared in a very short time.”
