Bayesian, i numeri del super yacht da record affondato a Palermo

Il Bayesian affondato drammaticamente a poca distanza da Palermo era uno dei superyacht più evoluti al mondo . Costruita nei cantieri navali di Perini Navi presso Viareggio e decorata dall'interior designer Rémi Tessier, l'imbarcazione a vela di lusso, battente bandiera britannica, occupava il 677esimo posto nella classifica globale degli yacht più grandi. Con le sue 473 tonnellate di stazza lorda e 56 metri di lunghezza, il Bayesian si fregiava del record del più alto albero in alluminio, ben 75 metri .

Lo yacht, che ora giace a 49 metri di profondità a largo di Porticello, la località del Palermitano dove è affondato dopo essere stato colpito da una tromba d'aria, era stato costruito nel 2008 e solo quattro anni fa era stato ristrutturato, mettendosi a disposizione per crociere esclusive . Proprio come quella terminata in modo tragico nella mattinata del 19 agosto 2024, con per il momento un morto accertato - lo chef di bordo Ricardo Tomas - e sei dispersi su un totale di 22 passeggeri.

I numeri del Bayesian

(Perini Navi)

È stata una violenta tromba marina a decretare la fine del Bayesian , alle ore 5 del 19 agosto, mentre tutti i passeggeri stavano dormendo nelle proprie cabine. La tragedia è avvenuta in pochi minuti e a spezzarsi per primo a causa delle raffiche di vento è stato proprio i l gigantesco albero in alluminio da 75 metri, il più alto al mondo.

L'alluminio è il materiale scelto anche per la sovrastruttura dello scafo, mentre i ponti sono coperti dal tradizionale legno teak per un totale di 436 metri quadrati di area. Le sei cabine occupano uno spazio complessivo di 143 metri. La propulsione avveniva con l'imponente vela oltre che da due motori diesel a 8 cilindri con potenza di 965 cavalli, capaci di spingere lo yacht fino a 15 nodi (circa 28 km/h), per una velocità di crociera di 12 nodi (circa 22 km/h). Lo yacht è intitolato a Thomas Bayes, filosofo inglese del 18esimo e mente dell'omonima teorema che è stato la base per lo sviluppo del software di analisi dati di Autonomy, la società che ha fatto la fortuna di Lynch.

Il prezzo delle crociere sul Bayesian

Era di poco meno di 200.000 euro a settimana il costo del noleggio del Bayesian, che poteva ospitare 12 passeggeri e 10 membri dell'equipaggio. La proprietà dell'imbarcazione è della Revtom Ltd, società con sede sull'isola di Man (un paradiso fiscale) di proprietà di Angela Bacares, che è tra le persone messe in salvo dopo il naufragio nonché moglie del tycoon britannico Mike Lynch, imprenditore tecnologico tra i sei dispersi, insieme alla figlia diciottenne Hannah, e al presidente della banca d'affari Morgan Stanley International, Jonathan Bloomer.

Il salvataggio del cantiere navale

Il Bayesian è frutto del lavoro dei cantieri Perini Navi. A fine 2021 il salvataggio della storica azienda del Lucchese , dopo che il 28 gennaio il cantiere era stato dichiarato fallito e si erano succedute due aste che erano andate deserte. Fondato nel 1983 da Fabio Perini, il gruppo toscano alla fine è passato per 80 milioni di euro sotto il controllo di The Italian Sea Group per mezzo della società New Sail.

Perini Navi è specializzata nella produzione di imbarcazioni a vela di grandi dimensioni e di gran lusso. Tra i suoi clienti, il banchiere Ennio Doris, che aveva acquistato il principessa Vaivia dal gruppo di Viareggio. A maggio 2020 tuttavia l'azienda era andata in crisi e le proposte di salvataggio non avevano convinto il tribunale di Lucca, che aveva infine deciso per il fallimento. Oggi l'azienda che ha realizzato anche il Bayesian rientra nella galassia di The Italian Sea Group, operatore globale della nautica di lusso quotato in Piazza Affari che controlla i marchi Admiral, Tecnomar e Nca Refit.

James Bond-Themed Superyacht Called '007' Sinks Within Yards of Greek Beach

"In trying not to be sunk, he sailed closer to shore," a boat owner who watched the event unfold said of the captain's actions

Five passengers aboard a superyacht named in honor of British superspy James Bond had to be rescued after it capsized and began sinking yards away from a Greek beach Friday.

The 160-foot superyacht named "007" experienced a GPS malfunction around 50 feet from the beaches of Kolona Bay on the Mediterranean island of Kythnos, SWNS reported.

"They say that the captain had some depth problem and he hit the bottom," a boat owner said about the vessel's captain, per SWNS

"In trying not to be sunk, he sailed closer to shore, in less than 10 meters depth — and that's how the ship got to that position." Thankfully, nobody was hurt in the incident, added SWNS.

"The coastguard was immediately aware and sent help in the night," the local continued, per SWNS.

"Next morning they put an antipollution perimeter," the boat owner continued. "It appears there was no diesel leakage or damage to the scenery."

According to SuperYacht Times , the "007" was developed by Aegean Yachts in 2006 and can accommodate up to 10 people. It also has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure.

In true James Bond style, however, the identity of the owner has not been revealed.

The sinking of the 007 follows the demise of a 131-foot superyacht named My Saga, which capsized nine miles off the coast of Catanzaro, Italy in August.

Shocking footage released by the Italian coast guard showed the vessel sinking stern-first near the Catanzaro Marina.

According to the BBC , "the Italian coast guard rescued all nine people on board – four passengers and five crew. The outlet reported the ship was heading from Gallipoli to Milazzo.

An investigation of the incident is ongoing and it is still unclear what caused the yacht to sink.

Tributes paid to ‘kind, loved’ chef believed to have died in Bayesian yacht sinking

Share this with

Tributes have been paid to a chef whose body has been recovered near the site of the  Bayesian superyacht  sinking off the coast of Sicily.

Ricardo Thomas, a Canadian citizen with an Antiguan passport, died after a tornado over the ocean, known as a water spout, hit the luxury yacht owned by British tech tycoon Mike Lynch in the early hours of yesterday.

Mr Thomas has been named in local Antiguan media and on social media as Recaldo Thomas.

In a series of emotive posts online, friends described him as ‘kind’ and ‘a friend to everyone’.

Posting on Facebook, Jess Whiteley said: ‘Rest in Power big man. You always loved this pic of you.

‘I don’t know what else to say except I love you, and I always will. Too many memories to share all at once… and too many were supposed to be made.’

Bayesian chef described as ‘my dearest friend, my partner in crime’

More and more tributes have been pouring in for Ricardo Thomas after the Italian coastguard discovered his body in the water off coast of Sicily.

Facebook has been flooded with posts from his families and friends, saying their last goodbyes to the chef.

Rose Marie described him as ‘my dearest friend, my partner in crime’, adding: ‘An honour and a pleasure to have been your friend, it just wasn’t long enough ….we had so much to conquer.

‘Love to the Recaldo Thomas family… I am so sorry.

‘Such a very special person for many of us, the laughter, the great kindness the generosity… the love… he had so much to give… RIP Ric.’

Sharing pictures of parties, dinners and travels, loved ones described him as ‘the smiliest, friendliest, most supportive chef in the yachting industry’.

Flora Pickard posted on Facebook: ‘Looking at the moon shining bright for you Recaldo Thomas. I was so honoured to have you as a shoulder, as a hug every time I saw you, as a smile as a super friend – all over the world.

‘I am going to miss you like crazy dude! Cheers to the legend!’

Erica Lay wrote: ‘RIP to lovely chef Recaldo Thomas who touched the hearts of many over his vastly diverse and lengthy career at sea, and left lasting memories for all who crossed his path.

‘I know someone was up there was waiting for you with a large rum and a hug whilst his feet were tippy tapping my friend.’

Why did the superyacht Bayesian sink?

Hatches and doors left open overnight on the superyacht may have caused it to capsize, a sailing expert has said.

Sam Jefferson, editor of magazine Sailing Today, said that such incidents are ‘incredibly rare’, describing the chances of a vessel being hit by a waterspout as ‘minuscule’.

It is believed the vessel was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout.

Weather records show temperatures reached around 33C the day before the sinking, which may have led to the people on board to leave the doors open.

Mr Jefferson said: ‘I would have said that the boat got hit very hard by the wind, it was pinned over on its side.

‘I imagine all the doors were open because it was hot, so there were enough hatches and doors open that it filled with water very quickly and sank like that.

‘The reason it got pinned over so hard was because the mast is huge. It acted almost like a sail. (It) pushed the boat hard over on its side.

‘(The boat) filled with water before it could right. This is all speculation, but that’s the only logical explanation.’

In pictures: Divers facing rescue challenge in Sicily

Specialist divers continued their search for six people who remain missing in the water.

Divers ‘listening for timed banging noise, similar to Titan submarine’

Divers could be listening out for a ‘timed banging noise’ as they continue to scour the wreck of the superyacht off Sicily’s coast to find six missing people.

Dr Jean-Baptiste Souppez, who teaches mechanical, biomedical and design engineering at Aston University, said: ‘A sign the rescuers may be looking for is a banging noise at regular intervals.

‘This is common practice on submarines, and was one of the signs the search mission for the Titan submarine was looking for after it went missing last year.’

Whatever is left of Bayesian is currently 164ft underwater, posing a challenge to rescue teams.

There is still slim possibility that air pockets exist within the sunken sailboat, and the trapped passengers are still alive.

But Dr Souppez said such possibility was ‘simply impossible to predict’.

Former school of Mike Lynch’s daughter ‘shocked’ by tragedy

The former school of Hannah Lynch, Mike Lynch’s daughter, said its ‘thoughts are with their family and everyone involved’ as the pair remain missing at sea.

A spokesperson for Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith, in west London, said: ‘We are all incredibly shocked by the news that Hannah and her father are among those missing in this tragic incident.

‘Our thoughts are with their family and everyone involved as we await further updates.’

Crew survivor ‘spared by grace of God’

The mother of one of the rescued Bayesian crew members said she is ‘beyond relieved’ that her daughter’s life was spared.

Heidi Randall, the mother of Leah Randall, told Sky News: ‘I am beyond relieved that my daughter’s life was spared by the grace of God.

‘It does not make it any easier living with the heartache of those who have lost their lives or are missing.

‘My very deepest condolences to the chef’s family as they formed a great friendship.’

Haunting final Instagram post of chef before he died

This is Ricardo Thomas’ haunting post on Instagram – just 10 days before he died off the coast of Sicily after.

Mr Thomas had been working on the superyacht as a chef when the tornado struck. His body was recovered from the water near the site, more than 24 hours later.

His last picture on Instagram shows the sun setting over the sea near Santa Marina Salina, one of the main towns on Salina, one of the Aeolian Islands.

There is no caption accompanying the post, but since yesterday a number of people have commented, paying their tributes.

One wrote: ‘What a Last Photo Brotha RIP.’

Another survivor named

The Italian Coastguard has confirmed the name of another crew member of Bayesian who survived.

Spokesperson Vincenzo Zagarola said Leo Eppel was on board the sailboat that sank in the early hours of Monday.

Tributes paid to ‘kind, loved’ chef after body recovered

Tributes have been paid to a chef whose body has been recovered near the site of the Bayesian superyacht sinking off the coast of Sicily.

Ricardo Thomas, a Canadian citizen with an Antiguan passport, died after a tornado over the ocean, known as a water spout, hit the luxury yacht yesterday.

Two more survivors named

Two more survivors of the Bayesian yacht disaster have been named as Leah Randall and Katja Chicken.

The two women are South African, Sky News reported, and they were members of the crew on the boat.

Captain of rescue ship says yacht sank in ‘two minutes’

Captain Karsten Borner, who brought survivors of the Bayesian disaster on board his own boat, has said he took precautions to save his own vessel in the storm.

Again speaking to news agency Reuters, he said he made an effort to keep his Dutch-flagged ship steady before noticing something was wrong with the yacht nearby.

He told the agency: ‘I don’t absolutely know what they did. I only know that they went flat with a mast on the water and that they sank in two minutes.’

Borner blamed unusually warm sea temperatures for the extreme weather on Monday morning, which he describes as ‘very violent, very intense, a lot of water and I think a turning system like a tornado’.

Hannah Lynch’s school releases statement

Hannah Lynch, the 18-year-old daughter of Mike Lynch, is one of the six missing passengers on the boat alongside her dad.

Her former school, Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith, west London, has just released a statement.

It said: ‘We are all incredibly shocked by the news that Hannah and her father are among those missing in this tragic incident and our thoughts are with their family and everyone involved as we await further updates.’

Divers carry out searches in 10 minute segments

Emergency rescuers have just 10 minutes to search for those missing in the wreckage of the Bayesian, responders have told Giornale Di Sicilia.

The divers have faced challenges when searching for those onboard, with Marco Tilotta, who is coordinating the search and rescue, describing it as a ‘prohibitive’ search.

Emergency responder Luca Cari told Italian daily Giornale Di Sicilia: ‘They can stay underwater for a maximum of 12 minutes, two of which are needed to go up and down.

‘So the real time to be able to carry out the search is 10 minutes per dive.’

Law firm Clifford Chance ‘deeply saddened’ by sinking

A spokesperson for law firm Clifford Chance said it is ‘deeply saddened’ by the sinking of superyacht Bayesian off he coast of Sicily.

A spokesperson said: ‘We are in shock and deeply saddened by this tragic incident.

‘Our thoughts are with our partner, Christopher Morvillo, and his wife, Neda, who are among the missing.

‘Our utmost priority is providing support to the family as well as our colleague Ayla Ronald, who together with her partner thankfully survived the incident.

‘Our thoughts extend to the other passengers and crew and all those affected.

‘We have no further comment at this time.

‘We, and the families, ask that their request for privacy is honoured during this period.’

Mike Lynch and five other passengers may be inside sunken yacht

The Italian Coastguard believes Mike Lynch and five other missing people may still be inside the sunken yacht, a spokesman said.

Vincenzo Zagarola told the PA news agency this was the working theory of officials on Sicily because it is believed the boat sank quickly and search and rescue efforts by sea and air have so far delivered no results.

He said: ‘We think they are still inside the boat, that is our very hard idea.

‘Our search and rescue activity by sea and air has gone on for around 36 hours.

‘Of course, we do not exclude that they are not inside the boat, but we know the boat sank quickly.

‘We suppose that the six people missing may not have had time to get out of the boat.’

Bayesian ‘practically intact’ on seabed, diver says

The yacht which sank off the coast of Palermo yesterday morning remains largely undamaged at the bottom of the Mediterranean, a diver has said.

Speaking to Italian newspaper Il Messaggero , Marco Tilotta said the Bayesian was ‘practically intact’.

Mr Tilotta, who works for Palermo’s fire and rescue service, said: ‘It is resting on its side on the starboard side. It has no gashes, no signs of impact.’

Charlotte Golunski and her family pictured leaving hospital

Charlotte Golunski, who was one of the first Bayesian passengers to speak out after the sinking, has left hospital in Palermo.

She gave a memorable account of the terror she felt on Monday morning as a storm hit the boat in an interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica.

Ms Golunski said: ‘It was all dark. In the water I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I screamed for help but all I could hear around me was the screams of others.’

She saved the life of her one-year-old daughter Sophia by holding her above the waves, and the pair ended up at Di Cristina paediatric hospital in Palermo together.

Her husband James Emslie also survived the sinking and was taken to a different hospital in the Sicilian city.

The family of three was pictured leaving Di Cristina hospital together.

Divers manage to crack open way into the Bayesian

Diving teams have managed to make a way to get inside the Bayesian, which has sunk some 50 metres.

Giornale De Sicilia , a Sicilian newspaper, says diverts from the fire department and port authority have opened a hole in the hull.

The rescue teams also now have a clearer idea of the condition of the Bayesian – including that the hull is still intact.

The yacht, La Repubblica reports, shows no sign of colliding with rocks or other ships. It has tilted 90° to the right and has sunk 50 metres.

The working theory is that the ship was flooded with water from the stern or bow in a short amount of time. Furniture and debris have swamped the cabins.

Divers are working in 35-minute ships, taking 12 minutes to go back up to the surface.

Missing Judy Bloomer ‘brilliant champion for women’s health’

Judy, the wife of Jonathan Bloomer, is among the six yacht passengers missing.

She’s been described by the CEO of Eve Appeal, a gynaecological cancer charity she was a trustee of, as a ‘brilliant champion for women’s health’.

Athena Lamniso was ‘deeply shocked to hear the news that our very dear friend and her husband Jonathan, are among those missing’, the BBC reported.

‘Our thoughts are with Judy and Jonathan’s family, as well as all those who are still waiting for news after this tragic event,’ she added.

Family of Steve Chamberlain to recreate his final route

The family of Steve Chamberlain are hoping to complete his final running route after he died while out running in his home town in Cambridgeshire.

Teddy, his son, posted on the social networking website Strava that Mr Chamberlain’s family will run the route, starting from the outside of the town of Stretham, to Ely, in memory of Steve after his death.

Cambridgeshire Police said 52-year-old Mr Chamberlain died in hospital after he was struck by a car on Saturday.

A statement from his lawyer said he was hit ‘while out running’.

Under his dad’s final Strava post, Teddy wrote: ‘We are planning to complete this run for Dad (after I train of course!).

‘If any of you would like to pay tribute and run it with us I will keep you updated. I’m sure we will make a post about the day and time at a later date. He was such an incredible man and the pain we feel in unimaginable.’

Superyacht affonda a Palermo, com'era il Bayesian e cosa sappiamo della tragedia. FOTO

Il veliero superlusso con 22 persone a bordo si è inabissato all'alba al largo di Porticello a causa di una violenta tromba marina. Ristrutturato nel 2020 dal cantiere navale Perini Navi, l'imbarcazione vantava l'albero in alluminio più alto del mondo

• Doveva essere una vacanza da sogno nei mari del Mediterreano ma per le 22 persone a bordo dello yacht Beyesian il viaggio si è trasformato in una tragedia. Intorno alle 5 di stanotte l'imbarcazione si è inabissata nel golfo di Palermo a causa di una tempesta. Il bilancio provvisorio è di 1 morto (il cuoco del veliero, canadese con passaporto di Antigua) e 6 dispersi mentre in 15 sono stati tratti in salvo

• L'imbarcazione, battente bandiera del Regno Unito, era salpata dal porto di Rotterdam, in Olanda, e la scorsa settimana aveva raggiunto il Mediterraneo dopo aver attraversato lo stretto di Gibilterra. Prima di Ferragosto l'arrivo a Milazzo , nel Messinese, snodo per raggiungere le isole Eolie ed effettuare rifornimento

•  Tra le 4 e le 5 di questa notte il viaggio della Bayesian si è concluso bruscamente  a poche miglia a largo di Porticello , tra Palermo e Termini Imerese. Ieri lo yacht aveva navigato nei pressi di Cefalù prima di far rientro nel golfo, poi nella notte una tromba d'aria ha rovesciato in mare l'imbarcazione

• Costruito nel 2008 e ristrutturato quattro anni fa dal cantiere navale Perini Navi, lo yacht Bayesian faceva parte di una flotta di imbarcazioni extralusso  utilizzata per viaggi esclusivi destinati ad una clientela facoltosa

• Lo yacht misurava 56 metri di lunghezza, 10 di larghezza e, come affermano i costruttori,  vantava l'albero in alluminio più alto del mondo:  76 metri. Con una suite matrimoniale e altre 5 cabine doppie, l'imbarcazione affondata era dotata di numerosi confort come jet-ski, seabob e attrezzature per le immersioni

• Costruito con uno scafo e una sovrastruttura in metallo e ponti in teak, il Bayesian era alimentato da due motori dieselMtu a 8 cilindri. La velocità massima di crociera arrivava a 15 nodi mentre i serbatoi di carburante con 57mila litri di capienza gantantivano un'autonomia di 3.600 miglia nautiche

• Al momento dell'incidente a largo della costa settentrionale della Sicilia, il Bayesian ormeggiato era al massimo della capienza: 12 ospiti di nazionalità diverse tra inglesi, canadesi, americani, neozelandesi, irlandesi e con doppio passaporto francese e inglese. A questi si aggiungono 10 membri dell'equipaggio, in gran parte provenienti dallo Sri Lanka

• Tra i passeggeri c'era anche una coppia con una  bambina di un anno , soccorsa nella notte insieme alla madre. La piccola è attualmente ricoverata all'Ospedale dei bambini di Palermo e, come riferiscono i medici, non versa in pericolo di vita."Per due secondi ho perso la bimba in mare, poi l'ho subito riabbracciata tra la furia delle onde. In tanti urlavano. Per fortuna si è gonfiata la scialuppa di salvataggio e in 11 siamo riusciti a salirci sopra", ha raccontato all' Ansa  la madre

• I sommozzatori sono ancora al lavoro per recuperare il relitto, inabissato a 49 metri di profondità.  Fra i dispersi c'è anche il proprietario dell’imbarcazione e uomo d’affari inglese Michael Lynch, che aveva invitato alcuni suoi collaboratori per una vacanza. Manca all'appello anche la figlia 18enne Hannah. Invece sua moglie Angela Bacares, 57 anni, inglese, è tra i sopravvissuti

• I feriti soccorsi dai sanitari del 118 e portati in ospedale sono James Emsilie, 35 anni, con la moglie Charlotte Golunski 35 anni e la piccola Sofia di un anno. Poi come detto Angela Baccares, moglie di Mike Lynch; Sasha Murray, 29 anni irlandese; Myin Htun Kyaw, 39 anni, del Myanmar; Matthew Griffith, francese, capitano della nave; James Calfield 51 anni, della Nuova Zelanda; Ayla Ronald, 36 anni, e Matthew Fletcher, 41 anni, entrambi inglesi

Video captures the moment 160-foot ‘007’ superyacht sinks in greece.

Sunken but not stirred.

Footage captured the calamitous moment that a massive superyacht named “007” sank — with five passengers inside — in Greece

The maritime disaster occurred Friday night after the 160-foot vessel, which reportedly sails under a British flag but is owned by a Swiss businessman, experienced a GPS malfunction off Kythos Island, SWNS reported. This reportedly prompted the captain to bring it closer to shore than was advisable.

As a result, the James Bond-themed luxury boat hit the rocks, and began taking on water with five passengers inside.

“In trying not to be sunk, he sailed closer to shore, in less than 10 meters depth — and that’s how the ship got to that position,” explained a boat owner who witnessed the catastrophe.

Accompanying footage, uploaded to YouTube, shows the swanky vessel, which sports a helipad, lying half-sunken on its side around 50 feet from the nearby Kolona Beach.

Thankfully, all five passengers were rescued and transported to safety before the “007” sank. “No people were hurt,” described the aforementioned eyewitness. “The coastguard was immediately aware and sent help in the night.”

Rescuers also erected an anti-pollution perimeter in the area, although there was reportedly “no diesel leakage or damage to the scenery,” the bystander said.

Local authorities will launch a probe into the sinking of the “007,” which was delivered in 2006 by the Bodrum-based shipyard Aegean Yacht, but whose owner remains unknown.

Along with a helipad, the superyacht reportedly boasts five cabins, including a master suite, and can reportedly sleep ten people.

This isn’t the first time a luxury vessel has visited Davy Jones’ locker of late. Last month, heart-pounding footage emerged of a 130-foot superyacht capsizing and sinking stern-first into the water off the Italian coast.

In February, a Ukrainian man was arrested for partially sinking his Russian tycoon boss’s $7.7 million luxury super yacht in Spain in protest over the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine.

A superyacht named 007 has sunk after running aground off an island on Friday.

The 49-metre long vessel hit rocks off the Greek island of Kythnos and was seen lying on its side in the sea after the five passengers on board were rescued.

The James Bond-themed luxury yacht, which has a helipad, was seen lying semi-submerged about 15 metres from Kolona Beach, The Sun reports.

The boat hit rocks around 11pm on Friday and water then poured in as rescuers scrambled to get passenger on to another vessel and ashore.

The GPS reportedly malfunctioned and according to a local boat owner, the skipper then brought the vessel closer to shore.

“In trying not to be sunk, he sailed closer to shore, in less than ten metres depth, and that’s how the ship got to that position,” he said.

“No people were hurt. The coastguard was immediately aware and sent help in the night. Next morning they put up an anti-pollution perimeter.

“It appears there was no diesel leakage or damage to the scenery.”

The boat sails under a British flag but is owned by a Swiss businessman.

Anti-pollution barriers have been put in place in case of fuel leakage.

Local authorities will now conduct an investigation into the incident.

The 007 was delivered in 2006 by Bodrum-based shipyard Aegean Yacht but who owns it remains a mystery.

It has five cabins, including a master suite, and can sleep ten people.

The vessel was originally 32 metre long and called Royal Enterprise but underwent an extension.

It comes after the 39-metre superyacht My Saga sank off the coast of Italy after it was battered by a storm.

Nine people were rescued from the submerging vessel on Saturday as it sunk in the Gulf of Squillace, off the coast of Catanzaro.

Dramatic footage shows the superyacht on the water for a few moments before it completely sinks stern-first.

An investigation to determine what caused the vessel to sink has been launched.

More Coverage

According to the Super Yacht Times , My Saga was travelling from Gallipoli, Turkey to Milazzo in Italy under a Cayman Islands flag.

You could say that 2022 has not been a good year for superyachts in general, and you wouldn’t be completely off the mark. In between seizures and legal complications, and what seems like an increased number of totaling incidents, superyacht-watching has definitely gotten more… dramatic this past year.

We can now add another incident to that ever-growing list: 007, a superyacht delivered by Aegean Yachts in 2006, has sunk after running aground off the coast of Greece. It happened on Friday night (September 2), with reports in the local  media  saying that the captain hit rocks under the surface of the water.

The ship is now almost completely submerged in Kolona Bay in Kythnos, in the Cyclades island chain in Greece, only some 15 meters (49.2 feet) from the beach. The Greek Coast Guard has confirmed the incident but, for the time being, it can’t speak on the circumstances surrounding it – and for very good reason, since an investigation into the cause is still underway.

The good news is that the five people onboard the vessel were rescued by the Coast Guard and transported to safety. The other piece of good news is that Coast Guard personnel was able to contain the superyacht with a floating sea wall, and there have been no reports of pollution as of the time of press. Given the location of the wreck, it is very likely that a recovery operation will be attempted.

The captain called in for help after running aground, as the ship started taking on water. Shortly afterwards, 007 listed on the port side, and eventually capsized. Photos and videos have emerged on social media showing the extent of the damage, and you will find some of them included in this article.

007 is a 49-meter (160-foot) superyacht that wasn’t available for charter, but was often described as the perfect family boat. Initially delivered as a 32-meter (105-footer) under the name Royal Enterprise, at the Bodrum shipyard in Turkey, it’s been through several refits, which have contributed to its current explorer-like, more aggressive silhouette. These refits included a lengthening of the hull to 49 meters (160 feet), adding another deck, and a small touch-and-go helipad on top.

With a design by Yavuz Mete, 007 offered accommodation for 10 guests and 5 crew. Powered by twin Caterpillar engines that developed a total of 1,300 hp, it could travel at a top speed of 12 knots (13.8 mph / 22.2 kph). None of that matters now, as it’s come to what could possibly be its end on the rocky shore of Greece.

L’elegante imbarcazione – operante per viaggi di lusso, battezzata ‘Bayesian’ e lunga circa 56 metri – batteva bandiera inglese . Era stata costruita nel 2008 a Viareggio dal cantiere Perini navi e ristrutturata nel 2020. Secondo quanto apprende l'Ansa il veliero avrebbe un carico di combustibile e olii, nei serbatoi, pari a 18mila litri. La capacità dei serbatoi è in totale di 58.700 litri.

La maggior parte dei passeggeri erano cittadini britannici , ma a bordo risultavano esserci anche un neozelandese, un cingalese, due anglo-francesi e un irlandese. Tra le persone originariamente considerate disperse ci sarebbero quattro britannici, un canadese e due americani. È probabile che i dispersi fossero nelle cabine al momento della tragedia; potrebbero dunque essere rimasti bloccati . 

In particolare, ad aver inabissato lo scafo sarebbe stata una tromba d’aria che si è abbattuta sulla zona. I sommozzatori stanno attualmente cercando di raggiungere il relitto , che si troverebbe a circa 50 metri di profondità a circa mezzo miglio dalla costa. Sul posto anche diversi elicotteri. 

Le persone recuperate dalle acque sono stati assistiti da carabinieri, Protezione civile e dai sanitari del 118. Nelle prossime ore dovrebbero essere sentiti per fornire la loro versione : particolarmente attesa è la deposizione del comandante , Matthew Griffith, anche lui salvo. 

Le persone soccorse dai sanitari e sottoposte a cure ospedaliere sono Angela Bacares, 57 anni, inglese, moglie di Lynch, James Emsilie, 35 anni, con la moglie Charlotte Golunski, 35 anni, e la piccola Sofia di un anno. E ancora, Sasha Murray, 29 anni irlandese; Myin Htun Kyaw, 39 anni, del Myanmar; James Calfield 51 anni, della Nuova Zelanda; Ayla Ronald, 36 anni, e Matthew Fletcher, 41 anni, entrambi inglesi.

Stando alle primissime ricostruzioni di coloro che hanno vissuto l’incidente in prima persona, la Bayesan sarebbe stata ancora in rada (ovvero ancorata al porto) al momento dell’ inizio del tornado.  Il nubifragio che si è abbattuto avrebbe spezzato l'imponente albero a vela. Questo avrebbe provocato uno sbilanciamento dell'imbarcazione che ha provocato il naufragio. L’imbarcazione ancorata a fianco alla Bayesan è stata la prima a fornire soccorso. 

“Quell'imbarcazione era tutta illuminata: verso le 4.30 di mattina non c'era più – racconta un testimone oculare di Porticello – Una bella imbarcazione dove c'era stata una festa. Una normale giornata di vacanza trascorsa in allegria in mare si è trasformata in tragedia. L'imbarcazione non era distante dal porto. Bastava poco per alzare l'ancora e dirigersi in porto. Evidentemente sono stati sorpresi dalla burrasca che si è abbattuta improvvisamente e non sono riusciti ad evitare l'affondamento”.

“Nella mattinata di oggi, intorno alle ore 5:00, un incidente nautico si è verificato al largo di Porticello – fa sapere il comune di Bagheria – Un'imbarcazione è improvvisamente affondata, probabilmente a causa delle pessime condizioni meteo . Intorno alle 4 di notte un forte temporale ha condizionato il nostro territorio”.

A 160ft James Bond-themed superyacht named 007 has sunk just yards off a Greek beach.

The vessel, which is thought to be owned by a Swiss businessman but was sailing under a British flag, ran aground after hitting rocks just 49ft off the picturesque Kolona Bay on the island of Kythnos.

The boat's GPS allegedly malfunctioned and led the boat towards the shore before it started listing heavily on the port side as water started pouring in.

Coast Guard answered mayday calls and the five passengers on board were quickly rescued after it started sinking on Friday evening. By Saturday, the yacht was almost fully submerged.

A local boat owner told SWNS press agency: 'They say that the captain had some depth problem and he hit the bottom.

'In trying not to be sunk, he sailed closer to shore, in less than ten metres depth, and that's how the ship got to that position. No people were hurt.

'The coastguard was immediately aware and sent help in the night. Next morning they put an antipollution perimeter. It appears there was no diesel leakage or damage to the scenery.'

Macabre Twist in Shock Sinking of Missing Tech Billionaire’s Yacht

Mike Lynch is feared dead after his yacht sunk off the Italian coast—just days after his former VP was fatally struck by a car.

Mysterious circumstances that preceded the sinking of billionaire Mike Lynch ’s yacht on Monday morning have left the internet abuzz with conspiracies.

That’s because Lynch’s ex-colleague and c0-defendant in a recently-closed U.S. fraud trial was fatally struck by a car on Saturday—two days before authorities say a tornado abruptly sunk Lynch’s yacht off the coast of Sicily. Both men were acquitted following the trial.

Stephen Chamberlain, the financial vice president of Autonomy during Lynch’s reign as CEO, was critically injured by a car that crashed into him as he was out for a jog on Saturday. He was placed on life support but succumbed to his injuries on Monday, his attorney Gary Lincenberg confirmed.

Police in Cambridgeshire said a blue Vauxhall Corsa struck a man in his 50s, now known to be Chamberlain, ultimately killing him. Officers said the unnamed woman who struck him, aged 49, remained at the crash site.

“He was a courageous man with unparalleled integrity,” said Lincenberg of Chamberlain. “We deeply miss him. Steve fought successfully to clear his good name at trial earlier this year, and his good name now lives on through his wonderful family.”

Chamberlain stood trial alongside Lynch, 59, as they were charged with fraud in connection with the $11 billion sale of Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard in 2011—a case that ended with a San Francisco jury acquitting the men in June.

They faced more than 20 years in federal lock up had they been convicted.

Aboard Lynch’s ill-fated trip in his 184-foot sailing vessel Bayesian were the attorneys who’d led his defense against U.S. prosecutors. He’s now feared to be dead, along with five others who remained missing on Monday night.

Divers were dispatched to the sinking site of the Bayesian. Six people, including two Americans, remained unaccounted for by Monday night.

That tally includes Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, as well as one of his attorneys. Two Americans are also reportedly among the missing and another British national. Italian authorities said they’re still searching for those unaccounted for and that dive teams have been dispatched. The body of a Canadian chef has already been recovered from the vessel.

A lawyer aboard the Bayesian’s ill fated trip was the 36-year-old Ayla Ronald, the The Telegraph reported. Her father, Lin Ronald, said the trip was to celebrate Lynch’s acquittal.

Among the survivors of Monday’s tragedy was Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares. She told La Repubblica that she sustained abrasions to her feet during the chaos and is now unable to walk.

Witnesses of the Mediterranean storm told Italian news agency ANSA that the ship was anchored in front of the port of Porticello when a tornadic waterspout formed and struck the Bayesian. The vessel sank shortly after.

“I was at home when the tornado hit,” Pietro Asciutto, a local fisherman, told ANSA. “I immediately closed all the windows. Then I saw the boat, it had only one mast, it was very large. I saw it sink suddenly.”

The Bayesian, a 56-meter-long sailboat, was photographed (left) off the coast of Palermo just hours before sinking.

Baia Santa Nicolicchia/Fabio La Bianca

Fabio Cefalù, a trawler captain who was nearby, told the BBC that he went to where the Bayesian sunk not long after the waterspout passed. Within 10 minutes, all that remained of the vessel was a series of floating items from its deck. He said he saw no survivors in the water.

Loved ones of Lynch largely haven’t spoken out since his disappearance, possibly in hopes that he may miraculously reappear. Some reports have described the tech billionaire, who didn’t maintain a public social media presence, as admiring James Bond, building model railways, and breeding koi carp. He had a second daughter, aged 21, and six dogs, reported The Daily Mail .

“At the companies he ran, Lynch is said to have put his own personal stamp, indulging his penchant for James Bond,” reported The Guardian on Monday. “Conference rooms were reportedly named after Bond enemies, such as Dr No and Goldfinger, and Autonomy even had a piranha tank in the atrium, in a nod to the 007 caper You Only Live Twice.”

Astonishing moment spy-themed superyacht dubbed '007' SINKS as passengers saved

The "007" was reportedly led astray by its GPS before it ran aground near Kolona Bay on the island of Kythnos, Greece, with the coastguard rescuing the five passengers on board

• 16:54, 7 Sep 2022

This is the astonishing moment a spy-themed superyacht dubbed "007" sank off the coast of Greece.

The vessel was carrying five passengers when it ran aground near Kolona Bay on the island of Kythnos.

The coastguard rapidly responded to a mayday call and rescued the five people on board the boat.

Shocking images showed the superyacht keeling over after it hit some rocks under the waterline, the Daily Star reports.

The British-flagged vessel is believed to be owned by a Swiss businessman.

It was just 45 metres from the shore when it ran aground.

MailOnline reports that the boat had reportedly been led astray by its GPS, but soon began to lean heavily to one side as water flooded in through the damaged area.

The incident took place on Friday (September 2), and the boat had almost entirely sunk by the following day.

Adorned with the logo of Ian Flemming’s 007, the 10-person boat also had room for five crew.

The sinister-looking ship had an aluminium structure and a steel hull, although it wasn’t enough to prevent the catastrophic rock damage.

Fit for a Bond villain, it even had its own helipad.

Built in 2006 by Bodrum-based shipyard Aegean Yachts, it was hemmed in by the coastguard, which used a floating sea wall to trap it in place and stop it or any pollutants from floating off.

Officials are currently investigating.

According to the Superyacht times , it is the largest ship Aegean makes, and was sold in 2012.

With five cabins, the boat was able to cruise at 12 knots.

A local boat owner said: “They say that the captain had some depth problem and he hit the bottom.

“In trying not to be sunk, he sailed closer to shore, in less than 10 metres depth, and that's how the ship got to that position. No people were hurt.

“The coastguard was immediately aware and sent help in the night.

“Next morning they put an antipollution perimeter. It appears there was no diesel leakage or damage to the scenery.”

VIDEO: 007 superyacht affonda in Grecia

Monday, September 5th, 2022

Written by: Marine Industry News

In quella che sembra una serie infinita di storie di disastri quest'anno, un superyacht di 49 metri, noto come 007 – si è capovolto ed è ora semisommerso in Grecia, a 15 m al largo, in attesa di recupero (2 settembre 2022).

Secondo la Guardia costiera ellenica, cinque passeggeri sono stati salvati. Nessuno è rimasto ferito. L'incidente è avvenuto nella baia di Kolona, ​​Kythnos.

I media suggeriscono che il superyacht si è arenato venerdì sera, provocando un afflusso d'acqua che ha gradualmente inclinato la nave.

La guardia costiera ha risposto alle chiamate mayday e ha trovato la nave in uno stato semi-sommerso.

Secondo Cicladi24 , si è verificato un guasto nel GPS e l'imbarcazione si è arenata nelle secche, si è creata una breccia e si è verificato un grande afflusso di acqua che ha causato 007 appoggiarsi su un fianco nel mare. Questo deve ancora essere confermato.

Un rapporto alternativo da eSysman suggerisce che il capitano abbia deliberatamente cercato di mettere a terra la nave per impedirne l'affondamento dopo aver colpito gli scogli.

Il media greco afferma inoltre che non è stato causato alcun inquinamento marino e le procedure per la rimozione sono già state avviate. Una compagnia di rimorchiatori è arrivata a Kythnos e sta valutando come rimorchiare la barca ultralusso.

007 è stato lanciato come Amazzone A dal cantiere turco Aegean Yacht nel 2006. Originariamente era lunga 32 m, ma da allora è stata ampiamente modificata fino a 49 m.

"Scuoto, mescolato o con le rocce, signor Bond?" chiede un commentatore.

All'inizio di agosto, MIN segnalato sul affondamento di uno yacht di 39 metri in Italia, e prima ancora il 26m Kapky affondò al largo delle coste turche . UN Anche la goletta da 49 metri è affondata a giugno dopo essere stato colpito da una nave da rifornimento in un porto spagnolo.

Al via le indagini sull'affondamento del superyacht in Grecia.

Dispersi Mike Lynch (il “Bill Gates” inglese) e il banchiere d’affari

«Se mi avessero condannato, sarei morto in carcere» dice Mike Lynch due mesi fa, dopo che un tribunale americano lo assolve da pesanti accuse, tra cui la frode, al termine di un lungo processo in cui rischiava 20 anni di detenzione. «Soffro di una malattia ai polmoni - racconta quel giorno al Sunday Times - in prigione non ce l’avrei fatta». Lynch vede la fine di un incubo. Milionario tra i più celebri nel Regno Unito, è stato definito il “Bill Gates britannico”, è stato direttore non esecutivo della Bbc e consulente scientifico sull’intelligenza artificiale di David Cameron quando era primo ministro. Assolto da ogni accusa, Lynch vuole festeggiare con la sua famiglia e i suoi dipendenti con un lungo viaggio nel Mediterraneo sullo splendido yacht Bayesian che formalmente appartiene a una società che fa capo alla moglie Angela Bacares, 57 anni. Sull’imbarcazione c’era anche l’amico Jonathan Bloomer, presidente del gruppo assicurativo Hiscox e di Morgan Stanley International, che al processo aveva testimoniato a suo favore. Anche Bloomer è tra i dispersi. Spiegano i media britannici: «Lynch aveva invitato come ospiti in questa vacanza esponenti dello studio legale Clifford Chance e della sua stessa azienda Invoke Capital per celebrare la sua assoluzione a giugno». Doveva essere l’inizio della sua second life, della sua nuova vita, oggi il nome di Mike Lynch, della figlia Hannah diciottenne e di altri quattro viaggiatori compare nella lista dei dispersi dopo il naufragio dello yacht a un chilometro dalla costa siciliana. La second life del milionario Lynch, insignito dell’onorificenza di Ufficiale dell’Ordine dell’Impero britannico, imprenditore visionario della cybersecurity e dell’informatica ma anche appassionato di modellini di treni, non è mai cominciata, spazzata via da una tromba d’aria. INCUBO Torniamo indietro con il nastro. Nel maggio del 2023 il Regno Unito concede l’estradizione: Mike Lynch viene portato negli Usa, finisce agli arresti domiciliari a San Francisco, in California. Ha un braccialetto elettronico, può solo sognare di tornare libero. E di navigare sul super yacht con il secondo albero più alto al mondo, il primo se si considera solo quelli in alluminio (75 metri). Nato nel 1965 in Irlanda, è cresciuto nell’Essex. Figlio di una infermiera e di un vigile del fuoco, studia fisica, matematica e biochimica a Cambridge. Giovanissimo, fonda varie start up, tra cui, nel 1991 la Cambridge Neurodynamics, specializzata nel riconoscimento delle impronte digitali, da cui poi nasce il suo grande successo, Autonomy, il cui software consente alle aziende di analizzare enormi quantità di dati grazie anche all'inferenza bayesiana, una teoria statistica ideata nel XVIII secolo Thomas Bayes. Lo yacht, non a caso, si chiama Bayesian. Nel 2011 la svolta: Autonomy viene acquistata dal colosso americano HP per 11 miliardi di dollari, 800 vanno direttamente a Lynch. Successivamente fonda una società di investimenti che sostiene, tra le altre, la nascita di Darktrace, azienda di sicurezza informatica, e Featurespace, specializzata in software per rilevare e prevenire frodi e crimini finanziari. Il successo di Lynch però corre parallelo alla causa intentata contro di lui da HP per la vendita di Autonomy. Il colosso Usa svaluta il valore della società e lo denuncia per «gravi irregolarità contabili, carenze di informativa e false dichiarazioni». Inizia una lunghissima e logorante guerra legale, fino a quando Lynch perde una battaglia perché un tribunale inglese concede l’estradizione negli Usa, dove finisce agli arresti domiciliari e vede lo spettro della condanna in carcere. Per un anno resta ai domiciliari. A giugno l’assoluzione, il ritorno a Londra, dalla moglie Angela e dalle due figlie. Non solo: Stephen Chamberlain, vicepresidente di Autonomy, era coimputato nello stesso processo. In un drammatico scherzo del destino anche lui è morto pochi giorni fa, in un incidente stradale. Nella sua casa di Chelsea Lynch conservava un modello in miniatura del suo yacht e una sua foto in mare. Intervistato dal Times, un membro dello staff ieri ha ricordato: «Era fiero di quell’imbarcazione, mi ha parlato delle sue dimensioni e di quanto la famiglia amasse trascorrervi del tempo a bordo in mare. Avevano uno chef personale che lavorava sia a casa sia sullo yacht». Scrive The Guardian: «Si dice che Lynch abbia lasciato il suo marchio personale nelle aziende che dirigeva, assecondando la sua inclinazione per James Bond. Si dice che le sale conferenze siano state chiamate con i nomi dei nemici di Bond, come Goldfinger, e Autonomy aveva persino una vasca di piranha nell'atrio, in omaggio al film di “007 Si vive solo due volte”».
