Launched in 2010, motor yacht SUNRAYS is an 85.5m (280'6") OceAnco vessel, built under the project number Y705. A superior vessel, in size, design and quality, the yacht represents a very important accomplishment for the Dutch yacht builder, boasting striking exterior design by Bjorn Johansson Design and naval architecture by Azure Naval Architects while her elegant and modern interiors were created by Terence Disdale Design. SUNRAYS sleeps 12 guests in 9 deluxe cabins.

Superyacht SUNRAYS has a softly curved teal coloured aluminium superstructure - an exterior design shape which was designed by the masterful Bjorn Johansson Design which was built with a steel hull and topped with an aluminium superstructure. Indeed an interesting feature of the design is that all of her 4 exterior decks reveals soothing water features - blend perfectly with the beautifully curved superstructure.

On her bridge deck resides the Spa Pool spa, as well as a bamboo-finished lounge which can be transformed into a movie theatre arena. The owners’ input is evident in the layout of the spa lounge which can also be converted into a movie theatre. On the sun deck a semi-enclosed air-conditioned bar, fully equipped with cooking facilities, separates the forward spa area from the aft sun-bed lounge deck.

Luxury yacht Sunrays had her naval architecture produced by Azure Naval Architects Oceanco, and her heavenly interior design is the work of Terence Disdale, as aided by the yacht’s owner. Whilst the interior offers generous living areas including a full-beam lounge and spacious dining room. A multifunctional interior is created with built-in table tops which have been recessed and hidden in the ceiling. This means the luxury yacht can be flexible for various entertaining and private occasions.

M/Y SUNRAYS also boasts a foldable exterior bulwark allowing her dinner guests wonderful unobstructed ocean views.

Superyacht SUNRAY (Y705) is based on the proven technical Oceanco Y700 platform. Her exterior is by Björn Johansson Design and her interior by Terence Disdale Design and she is certain to stand out amongst other large yachts.

The large dining room can be converted into a video conference room with the optional use of the adjacent library. The standard foldable exterior bulwark assures guests an unrestricted view while dinner is served.

SUNRAYS Enquiry

"Radical design for the sake of being radical rarely stands the test of time. In other words, style is fleeting while class is permanent." - “Buying a yacht isn’t an over the counter [purchase]; it is the very opposite. The magic is not only in the owning and using the yacht, but in the slow process of slowly seeing your baby being built and your ideas come to life one by one. I am here to help you achieve that.” - Terence Disdale

Salon Selective

Sunrays’ bridge deck is home to a trend-setting spa salon equipped with a steam room, treatment rooms and two dedicated onboard spa therapists. When so desired, the generous relaxation lounge designed for post-treatment indulgence seamlessly converts into a home cinema with room for all 12 guests to gather for a night of silver screen viewing.

Few yachts enjoy the selection of games and entertainment found aboard Sunrays. Even fewer afford an entire games deck dedicated to play. This level boasts a billiards room with a gyroscopic table, which prevents guests from blaming high seas for pocketing the cue ball, and a Tee-On golf system for range practice on the aft deck. A video conference room and AV/IT systems keep guests connected. When it’s time to party, crank up the volume with the DJ deck and speakers.

Bayesian superyacht ‘sank with Mike Lynch’s two hyper-encrypted hard drives that may contain MI5 secrets’

  • James Halpin
  • Published : 13:48, 17 Sep 2024
  • Updated : 14:23, 17 Sep 2024

THE Bayesian superyacht sank with Mike Lynch's two hyper-encrypted hard drives that may contain MI5 secrets, reports Italian media.

The billionaire businessman tragically died with his daughter on board the doomed yacht off the coast of Sicily last month when the vessel was hit by a tornado.

The Bayesian sank off the coast of Sicily last month killing seven

Reports claim the tech entrepreneur had a pair of hard drives that may hold secret information on the world's most powerful spy agencies on board.

Divers are now scouring the sea floor for the crucial disks at the bottom of the sea before they fall into the wrong hands, reports La Repubblica - Italy's second-biggest newspaper.

Sources told the paper the disks held: "the great digital archive of the IT entrepreneur whose clients included the British MI5, the American NSA and the Israeli services".

The Italian newspaper said the "super drives" are protected by "cutting-edge encryption".

But the drives now could be a target for the hostile spy agencies of Russia, China, and Iran as they seek to steal valuable secrets.

Lynch reportedly did not trust the cloud to save his high-level business secrets so always had the hard drives on him.

The billionaire partly made his wealth by creating algorithms and software widely used by top Western security agencies.

His company Autonomy won high-profile contracts with governments, including a deal to provide infrastructure to the US Homeland Security for the post-9/11 war on terror.

The Bayesian is also reported to hold other documents in the ship's safe that could also be highly valuable.

James Bond fan Lynch also co-founded the cybersecurity company Darktrace and employed high-ranking intelligence agents for the firm.

Investigators from Palermo have pulled no personal effects of the seven victims and 15 survivors from the ocean yet.

But last week, divers recovered surveillance equipment from the yacht that will hopefully be able to shed light on its final moments afloat.

Divers have also recovered the ship's onboard hard drives as they continue their investigation.

However, the ship had no black box and there are worries the Bayesian's hard drives may not be water resistant.

CCTV showed the Bayesian superyacht moments before it sank

The captain of the doomed Bayesian,  James Cutfield, 51, is being investigated for manslaughter .

Kiwi Cutfield, along with two other members of his crew, are being investigated by Italian authorities for culpable shipwreck and multiple manslaughter.

Prosecutors are also probing ship engineer  Tim Parker-Eaton, from Clophill, Beds, and sailor Matthew Griffith, 22  under the same charges.

The 184 ft Bayesian was carrying 22 people when it sank within minutes of being hit by a downburst - a strong, localised wind - while anchored in Porticello near Palermo.

The  luxury  vessel was caught up in a tornado which caused it to sink in the early hours of the morning.

Fifteen of those on board were rescued on a life raft, while the yacht’s cook Recaldo Thomas was discovered dead in the water shortly afterwards.

Specialist divers recovered the bodies of billionaire Lynch, 59, and four of his guests, from the first cabin on the left.

Officials said the victims had scrambled to reach air pockets in the yacht, which sank 164ft stern-first before rolling onto its right side on the seabed. 

Investigators are understood to be rifling through CCTV footage and photographs taken by locals on the night of the storm to understand why the boat sank so quickly. 

Chief Prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio said the victims would have been asleep when a tornado-like waterspout struck the boat, leaving them unable to escape.

Lynch had just won a court case over the sale of Autonomy to tech giant HP after being accused of fraudulently raising the price.

The 59-year-old had been living under house arrest in San Francisco, US, with just his beloved dog Faucet for company, for well over a year.

He was finally acquitted just months ago and spoke about longing to spend time with his wife, Angela Bacares and their two daughters.

In 1996, he started software company Autonomy, which would be used to analyse huge swathes of data from unstructured sources like phone calls, emails and videos.

Describing his small team he said: “Eccentric people working really hard on a project. No bureaucracy. No admin. Lots of late nights, lots of eating cold pizza”.

Inside The Bayesian's final 16 minutes

sunrays yacht ranking

By Ellie Doughty, Foreign News Reporter

Data recovered from the Bayesian's Automatic Identification System (AIS) breaks down  exactly how it sank  in a painful minute-by-minute timeline.

At 3.50am on Monday August 19 the Bayesian began to shake "dangerously" during a fierce storm, Italian outlet  Corriere  revealed.

Just minutes later at 3.59am the boat's anchor gave way, with a source saying the data showed there was "no anchor left to hold".

After the ferocious weather ripped away the boat's mooring it was dragged some 358 metres through the water.

By 4am it had began to take on water and was plunged into a blackout, indicating that the waves had reached its generator or even engine room.

At 4.05am the  Bayesian fully disappeared  underneath the waves.

An emergency GPS signal was finally emitted at 4.06am to the coastguard station in Bari, a city nearby, alerting them that the vessel had sunk.

Early reports suggested the disaster struck around 5am local time off the coast of Porticello Harbour in Palermo, Sicily.

The new data pulled from the boat's AIS appears to suggest it happened an hour earlier at around 4am.

Some 15 of the 22 onboard were rescued, 11 of them scrambling onto an inflatable life raft that sprung up on the deck.

A smaller nearby boat - named Sir Robert Baden Powell - then helped take those people to shore.
