About PARSIFAL III

View all yachts for charter

As a charter guest you could begin your day with a sunrise yoga session on the large foredeck or have an early morning swim in the ocean before taking breakfast on the main deck aft. Here a large curved sofa and loose seating surround an oval dining table shaded by the overhang of the flybridge deck. After breakfast, some of the guests may choose to relax in the many lounging areas while others might want to take advantage of the calm waters and jump in to learn a new watersport. An extensive toybox has something for all ages to enjoy. However you choose to spend the morning, coming together for an al fresco lunch, perhaps prepared on the Teppanyaki grill, is the perfect opportunity to regroup and catch up with your friends and family.

Numerous entertainment options will keep the entire family entertained throughout the afternoon. Relax in the jacuzzi or on the sumptuous sunloungers, or enjoy some relaxation time in the main lounge, perhaps with a movie, all while PARSIFAL III sails on to your next port of call; if the winds are in your favour you could even be moving along under full sail at exhilarating speeds of up to 18 knots.

With the sun setting on the horizon, enjoy more time on deck taking in the view with a cocktail, followed by dinner either in the formal dining room or al fresco on the main deck aft. When it’s time to retire, PARSIFAL III's vast master suite is located aft and benefits from direct access to an extra-large swimming platform – perfect for a private early morning swim. Amidship there are two further doubles and two twins with additional pullman berths. As with all of the interior guest areas, the décor is streamlined and minimalistic, with polished dark ebony and wenge woods contrasting with fine furnishings of cream leather, glass and stainless steel. A stunning retreat, your guests will feel cosseted in luxury as they fall into a deep slumber ready for another day of fun.

PARSIFAL III Perini Navi | From EUR€ 195,000 /wk

Sailing yacht PARSIFAL III is a superb 54 meter Italian created Perini Navi luxury sailing boat which has won the 2006 International Superyacht Design Award. She is available for luxury charters in both the Caribbean & Mediterranean seas. Her stylish sleek lines and a jet-black hull exudes excellence in style whilst she also maintains first-rate levels of comfort, practicality, and performance for up to 12 charter guests. At 177’ in length, 35’ wide, and with a large above deck superstructure and flybridge S/Y Parsifal III provides the most discernable guests with ample light, interior and exterior space as well as privacy.

NOTABLE FEATURES for PARSIFAL III: Pedigree design with sleek lines and excellent performance capabilities ~ Vast exterior living ~ Chic interior decor ~ Beautifully appointed guest staterooms ~ On deck jacuzzi ~ Assortment of water toys ~ Crows nest for 2 ~ Hydraulic swim platform ~ Wifi

Parsifal III’s lovely aluminum hull, carbon fiber rig, and in furling boom create a powerful sailing performance and an enjoyable sailing experience. Parsifal III is thought to be one of Perini Navi’s quickest sailing yachts built so far with her finned bulb keel. Her dark hull creates a sticking image against the brilliant white of her superstructure.

Luxury sailing yacht Parsifal III also has a striking and upbeat interior as designed by the world famous Remi Tessier. Her magnificent interior design is highlighted with the blending of dark ebony woodwork, light sycamore wood, stainless steel, and fine leathers. She features exquisite design and craftsmanship which creates an ultra-modern and stylish yet warm, inviting and relaxed feeling, as made possible with the intelligent use of natural and restful textures.

The large sailing yacht features a plunge pool, an array of sunning and excellent entertainment areas, a Japanese Teppanyaki style Barbeque, and modular type seating in her saloon. Parsifal III is one of the most sought after sailing yachts on the charter market due to not only her size and grace but also her vast array of practical features.

PARSIFAL III Specifications

Named after an Arthurian knight, Parsifal III is the result of a modern-day 6-year quest by two sailing veterans. Their Holy Grail was a luxurious super-yacht that epitomized the best design, was perfect in all aspects of its build and provided performance under sail that could rival any yacht of her type. They found fellow shining knights in the Italian yacht builder Perini Navi naval architect designer Ron Holland.

And the result, according to a review in ‘Boat International’, are all the hallmarks of a Perini Navi: “…a classically proportioned ketch whose powerful hull displays a seamanlike bow and a long, elegantly curved sheer line that runs aft over a pleasingly proportioned freeboard to a half-moon of the forward-raked transom. The stylishly rounded deckhouse is topped by a flying bridge that extends aft to a long sundeck providing shade for the guest cockpit below.” Furthermore, notes Boat International, “performance is a notch higher than any of the company’s previous vessels”.

Yacht Charter Accommodation

Luxury sailing yacht Parsifal III provides accommodation for up to a maximum of 12 charter guests in five or six luxurious staterooms. The yacht’s main owner's suite features its own saloon which can be divided into two independent double rooms, if need be. She also offers two permanent double rooms and two further twin Staterooms. All of the cabins provide full en suite bathroom facilities. She has a separate crew accommodation for 9.

On board with Parsifal III owner Kim Vibe-Petersen

The owner of 54 metre superyacht Parsifal III – a star cast member of hit TV show Below Deck – tells David Edwards the origin story of his innovative sailing yacht...

Kim Vibe-Petersen likes to call his pride and joy, the 54 metre sailing yacht Parsifal III , a “game-changer”. He likes to call the TopBrewer coffee maker he designed and manufactures a game-changer as well. But coming from him this is no lazy cliché. The Dane, with almost perfect English, chooses his words carefully and changing the game is simply what he does. In fact it completely defines him.

For if you ask the 65-year-old CEO of coffee firm Scanomat how he would describe himself, he replies without hesitation: “I’m an inventor.” Although he quickly corrects himself: “I’m as much a businessman as I am an inventor. When you run a small business, like we did in the beginning, you have to be able to do everything.” That may be true but you don’t need to spend long in his company to see that, at heart, he’s an ideas man, a restless bundle of thoughts and ambitions, many of which he’s been able to realise.

Even a conventional education wasn’t for him – “I didn’t fit in to the school system. I got pretty bored, I couldn’t enjoy myself going that slow” – and he couldn’t wait to leave and join his parents’ vending machine business, in which he’d already been working since the age of 14.

He set about transforming this simple firm. “I started my own business within their business. We were importers of machines from abroad. I started to invent products. I invented the first fully automatic cappuccino machine in the world. It went from zero to 95 per cent of the business within two years.”

Vibe-Petersen was off and running, doing everything, as he says. But the business would have been nothing without the product, the invention. Where does that creative spark come from? He doesn’t know. Not from his father, a salesman who clearly passed on the business sense. “I’m only interested in doing something that no one else has done,” he explains. “I’ve always wanted to do things differently. I’m interested in new things, in developing this world and hopefully doing things better and more easily than they were done before.”

That approach goes a long way to explaining Parsifal III and how that remarkable yacht came about. Kim and his wife Nina had owned and chartered out two Parsifals : the 34 metre Valdettaro now called Unplugged and her sister ship now known as Ree . But the inventor in him wanted to do something new. “ Parsifal III was a game-changer in the sailing yacht industry,” says the game-changer. “We were one of the first to use (designer) Rémi Tessier and we did the complete boat with him. That made his business grow.”

Boat interiors at the time (2004) were, in Vibe-Petersen’s words, like 16th century castles or English pubs. Even though they own a 300-year-old house five minutes’ drive from Scanomat’s HQ in Kokkedal, north of Copenhagen, he and Nina didn’t want that tired, traditional style. “All the other boats had a lot of small rooms, which I couldn’t see any use for. We made Parsifal III open, so you could see 360 degrees around from the main saloon. There was no special dining room, or special pantry, or anything that disturbs your sight. I wanted it to be one big thing. That was new. Also, we wanted the outside to correspond to the inside of the boat, with a very modern look.”

It was a meeting of minds between owner and designer. “Me and Rémi are very close, yes. When I visited him in Lyons for the first time, his showroom was full of Danish furniture. There was Poul Kjærholm and Arne Jacobsen and all these famous Danish designers. He was in love with Danish design. But he was very talented because he understood what we wanted to do, so in combination with me and Nina, we developed the curved, round design. Minimalism was the key word and luxury was the next. We liked the luxury, with the chrome and so forth, but we liked it in a lower-key way.”

Charter customers and awards judges liked it, too. Long before the boat emerged from Perini Navi’s yard, one client booked it for 17 straight weeks. “From 2006 to 2009 we didn’t use the boat ourselves because it was totally chartered out: 25 weeks a year, which is unheard of,” says Vibe-Petersen. “We could have got five times the amount of bookings for it.” Among the five awards Parsifal III won in 2006 was Sailing Superyacht of the Year at the Boat International   World Superyacht Awards .

“We inspired the whole industry,” says Vibe-Petersen proudly. That same pride is evident when he asks, as I arrive, if I’d like a cup of coffee. We are in the light and airy foyer of the Scanomat building in Kokkedal, north of Copenhagen, with several glass-topped plinths around us.

He takes a glass from one and places it below a stainless steel tap. Next to the tap is an iPad, with the TopBrewer app open on its screen. He asks what coffee I’d like; how strong and how much milk. I could have specified the tamper pressure I’d like applied to the coffee that is being ground behind the counter. He slides a few gauges and taps a button and 25 seconds later I have my espresso. And it’s really good.

“You get a lot of lousy coffee around the world,” Vibe-Petersen says. “You have to give quality coffee every time and that’s why people have to use our coffee with our machines, so we make sure they don’t put bad coffee in them.” Again, as he talks, the inventor in him is so apparent and so appealing. He is completely immersed in this product, and is responsible for every element, particularly the machine itself hidden under the counter. If, as he says, he wants to do things better and more easily than they were done before, then TopBrewer is a roaring success.

Just like with Parsifal III , customers and judges are agreeing. Apple has installed TopBrewers in its Caffé Macs employee cafeteria in Cupertino; Bloomberg has done the same, as has Level39 in London. McDonald’s is testing a bespoke TopBrewer system that will cut the time it takes to serve coffee by two-thirds. Beyoncé and Jay-Z have one, Steven Spielberg has one. “TopBrewer is getting very big. It’s very trendy to use our product,” says the proud inventor.

The original TopBrewer, costing from £5,000, was launched in 2012, but a new model will be able to make iced drinks thanks to a second, adjacent swan-neck tap, as well as deliver whipped cream for hot chocolate and provide all kinds of soft drinks.

But the really clever part of the product is revealed in the TopBrewer Café in Copenhagen, which I visit on my way home. There, via my phone I can order and pay for my very own customised coffee. Malou, who works there giving demonstrations to intrigued customers, says people are rapidly getting used to it. “We can change people’s coffee habit,” says Vibe-Petersen. “If you want to compete with Starbucks, which everyone wants to do, then you have to come up with a game-changer like ours, to do that kind of quality of coffee. This is about the best you can get.

“And can you imagine what kind of potential that has on a worldwide scale? You don’t have to have staff. At the airport you don’t want to wait in a queue. If you are in Hong Kong, Singapore, London or Copenhagen, you can always get the same coffee, your favourite. The one you love.”

Clearly for Vibe-Petersen, it is not just about the invention itself. Its application and the joy and benefits it brings to people complete the process. In this, making a coffee machine is the same as chartering out a boat: done well, they both bring great pleasure.

Business and life for the Vibe-Petersens is a family affair. Their sons Sebastian and Frederik work for the company: Frederik is involved in the IT department, and worked on TopBrewer’s integration with the app; Sebastian, like his father, is more technical and product-focused. Nina, 10 years Kim’s junior, is a central figure in their charter business.

“It was always the whole family who created the atmosphere of our businesses,” says Vibe-Petersen. “One thing is that the boat looks nice, the interior looks nice. But you have to have a good crew and you have to train them how to operate; how to take care of the people and make them feel good. “All my family are very service-minded, they all have that service gene. This is so important in the charter business. You have to understand what you like yourself and whether other people will like the same thing. If they don’t, you have to find out quickly what they do like.”

Vibe-Petersen’s formula for what charter customers like – and his record indicates that it’s a winning one – is to gently encourage them to try new activities. “Make them active, make them do things they didn’t know they would like to do. Get them out on a Hobie, a top jet ski , a Laser, get them out on a paddleboard, on a kayak. Try to convince them to try other things that they wouldn’t normally do. Then they are so happy for themselves if they take a step into a new world they maybe were afraid of. There’s a lot of teaching that the crew can do: talk to people, swim with them...

“People like to be pushed a little bit. But don’t push them too much! When it works you get a big reward for it. These people are so happy and they want to come back; [the company] gave me a good holiday. That’s basically what we’re selling. On top of that, you always have to have the best chef. You can repair a lot with good food!”

Vibe-Petersen’s 60 plus years have taught him many things but there are two principles that he believes are central to who he is and what he has done – and may still do. “You have to be prepared to make mistakes. If you do not make mistakes you do not invent. And it’s important that you get bored. When you are bored your brain works behind the scenes. When you are busy and stressed and on your phone too much and on the internet too much you do not develop many things. I love it when I’m bored and can just walk around, that’s when I create ideas.”

At his age many people’s thoughts turn towards home and the garden but Vibe-Petersen says he could never retire. “I work 24/7. I do not have weekends like others. I relax, I have fun and we go to parties and this and that, but in my mind I always work. And that’s not a problem for me.” That’s how you change the game.

• Year 2005 / 2012
• Builder Perini Navi

PARSIFAL III is such an impressive yacht that she won five prestigious awards the year she was launched.

She’s such a show-stopping luxury superyacht that you may recognise her as the star of the reality show Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

Interior Design & Engineering

The 53.8-metre custom-built Perini Navi sailing superyacht offers a rare blend of performance yachting and exceptional comfort. This makes the PARSIFAL III yacht not only one of the fastest Perini Navis on water but also one of the most appealing.

Amongst her accolades, she won Superyacht of the Year (sailing yacht) and Best Interior (sailing yacht) at the Boat International Awards following her 2005 launch.

Equipped with high-tech carbon masts, fully automated boom furling and a winged keel, the PARSIFAL III yacht can reach top speeds in the region of 18 knots under full sail.

The interior, designed by Remi Tessier, features a blend of dark ebony and light sycamore complemented by natural textiles and fine leather accents.

The main salon and dining area of the PARSIFAL III sailing yacht opens fully onto the aft deck and can be opened forward to the wheel house. This gives a unique 360-degree view from within.

She accommodates 12 guests in six en suite cabins. The owner’s suite is full-beam and has direct, private access to an extra large swimming platform. The rest of the accommodation comprises a spacious master suite that can be divided into two separate double cabins if required and a further two twins with additional Pullman berths.

Yacht Facilities & Entertainment

PARSIFAL III’s main salon includes a circular sofa overlooking a large television and leads to the open-plan dining area with a sit-up bar facing out through portside windows. There’s also a smaller round table and bar on the main deck aft, with a fixed eight-person table and seating area aft.

The upper deck of the PARSIFAL III yacht is full of different spaces to relax and entertain. You could sit back and enjoy your morning coffee on the plush seats, enjoy a refreshment at the sit-up bar, or soak yourself in the Jacuzzi located at the very aft of the deck. If you prefer to soak up the sunshine, head to the main deck aft and stretch out across the sun loungers.

Toys & Crew

A crew of nine will ensure your PARSIFAL III yacht charter is memorable.

You’ll get easy access to the water - and the toys - via the large swim platform. There are lots of water toys to enjoy, from Seabobs, water skills and wakeboards to kayaks, SUPs and windsurfers. You can even head out in the four-person Hobie cat wave or the Open Bic sailing dinghies.

When you want to explore ashore, there’s a 21’ guest tender and a 19’ tender that will be able to transport you.

All aboard PARSIFAL III for Below Deck’s hit spin-off, Below Deck: Sailing Yacht

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Paloma Shemirani   20 October 2023

It is now 10 years since Bravo’s hit series, Below Deck first captivated audiences round the world with its enticing blend of the yachting industry’s opulence and all the drama from reality tv. In 2020, the show launched the spin-off series, Below Deck: Sailing Yacht which marked a departure from the motor yachts that have always been used in the franchise. Here’s an inside look on board the luxury sailing yacht, PARSIFAL III , which has been the setting for all four seasons of the spin-off. 

What sets Below Deck: Sailing Yacht apart from the other series in the franchise is, as the title suggests, that it takes viewers on board a whole new type of yacht: the sailing yacht . With this change comes a set of brand new challenges (read: drama) as this type of boat depends heavily on wind conditions– requiring a seasoned crew equipped with handling unforeseen conditions that will affect both the vessel’s maneuverability and thus the charter guests’ on-board comfort. 

Sailing definitely adds an element of unpredictability … there’s always danger in everything.' - Captain Glenn Shephard 

Too close for comfort

Unlike motor yachts, sailing yachts also have considerably less space: from smaller galleys and crew stations to cramped and crowded crew quarters close to the guest cabins, the crew are under more pressure than ever to provide top quality service to guests as tensions and love triangles have little room to be aired out. With many of the deck duties taking place in the midst of guest areas, it is tough to hide any squabbles and mishaps which will affect the all-important tip that the charter guests leave before they disembark. 

Who to expect

As in the other Below Deck series, each season is filmed over 6 weeks in the summer charter season, with a new group of charter guests appearing each week.

Navigating the Mediterranean waters is PARSIFAL III’s full-time captain, Glenn Shephard who has worked on the vessel for over 10 years. Keeping both the captain and the boat the same across all 4 seasons, this marks yet another first in the franchise, which has typically varied the boats from season to season and has replaced the full-time crew with a temporary cast during filming. Fan favourites among the cast include Chief Officer Gary King and Chief Engineer Colin Macrea who have been caught in a love triangle in the latest season. There might be some franchise-firsts in Below Deck: Sailing Yacht , but drama remains a steady constant. 

Sneak preview of the latest season's drama

What is parsifal iii like.

Delivered by the Italian shipyard, Perini Navi in 2005, PARSIFAL III is famed for her tasteful, ultra-modern interior. She can hold up to 12 guests across 5 cabins, which include the master suite, 2 double cabins, and 2 twin cabins. Each room features stunning high-gloss wood panelling in either dark ebony or light sycamore, which perfectly complements the white furniture and upholstery. In addition to the monochrome color palette, the boat also boasts of having a deck jacuzzi and a hydraulic swim platform– offering luxury charter guests flexibility in where they choose to soak. 

After a day of watersports, take advantage of the al fresco cinema set up with your favourite drink in hand. With such an impressive list of amenities, it is no surprise that PARSIFAL III was chosen for the Below Deck franchise’s latest instalment– she is indeed one of the most sought after sailing yachts on the charter market. 

Where was Below Deck: Sailing Yacht filmed?

The boat and crew might stay the same, but each season of the spin-off show has been filmed in different locations across the Mediterranean:

The first series was filmed from the start of June until the end of July 2019 around Corfu in the Ionian Sea. Cruising at a speed of 10 knots, Captain Glenn took charter guests round the island and to neighbouring beaches on the mainland.

Filmed in the summer following the outbreak of Covid-19, Glenn cruised round Split, Croatia from the end of July until early September.

The luxury yacht returned to where she traditionally charters in the Balearics , sailing all around Menorca from mid-July 2021 until the end of August that year.

Remaining in the West Mediterranean , the fourth season was filmed on the northeastern coast of the beautiful Italian island, Sardinia from June until August 2022. 

While season 5 has not aired yet, our intelligence shows that it has been filmed between June and July 2023 around Ibiza – returning again to the Balearic Islands.  

How much does it cost to charter the Below Deck sailing yacht?

S/Y PARISFAL III charters from approximately $248 000 plus expenses. If you are interested in recreating the Below Deck sailing charter experience in the Mediterranean, then speak to your preferred charter broker about booking PARSIFAL III.

Video shows moments before superyacht went down in storm off Sicily

Newly released video captures a luxury superyacht being battered by a violent storm before it suddenly sank off Sicily with 22 people aboard Monday.

The grainy images obtained by NBC News and other outlets were recorded on closed-circuit television not far from where the Bayesian was anchored, about a half-mile from the port of Porticello, on Sicily’s northern coast .

The yacht's 250-foot mast, illuminated with lights and lashed by the storm, appears to bend to one side before it finally disappears and is replaced by darkness.

The speed with which a yacht built to handle the roughest seas capsized stunned maritime experts.  

“I can’t remember the last time I read about a vessel going down quickly like that, you know, completely capsizing and going down that quickly, a vessel of that nature, a yacht of that size,” said Stephen Richter of SAR Marine Consulting.

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and five of the 22 other people who were aboard the 184-foot vessel remain unaccounted for and are believed to be trapped in the Bayesian’s hull, nearly 170 feet underwater.

Officials confirmed Monday that at least one person, the ship’s cook, had died.  

Superyachts like the Bayesian, which had been available for charters at a rate of $215,000 a week, are designed to stay afloat even as they are taking on water to give the people aboard a chance to escape, Richter said. 

“Boats of this size, they’re taking passengers on an excursion or a holiday,” Richter said. “They are not going to put them in situations where it may be dangerous or it may be uncomfortable, so this storm that popped up was obviously an anomaly. These vessels that carry passengers, they’re typically very well-maintained, very well-appointed.”

Built by Italian shipbuilder Perini Navi in 2008, the U.K.-registered Bayesian could carry 12 guests and a crew of up to 10, according to online specialist yacht sites. Its nearly 250-foot mast is the tallest aluminum sailing mast in the world, according to CharterWorld Luxury Yacht Charters. 

On Tuesday, Italian rescue workers resumed the search for Lynch and the five other passengers still missing: Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah; Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife; and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife.

“The fear is that the bodies got trapped inside the vessel,” Salvatore Cocina, the head of civil protection in Sicily, told Reuters .

The Bayesian is owned by a firm linked to Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, who was one of the 15 people rescued Monday after it capsized.

“It’s extremely rare for a boat of this size to sink,” Richter said.

What’s not rare is the kind of storm that sank it , said Simon Boxall, senior lecturer in oceanography at Britain’s University of Southampton.

“People assume the Mediterranean is this rather calm and passive place that never gets storms and always blue skies,” Boxall said. “In fact, you get some quite horrendous storms that are not uncommon at this time of year.”

The president of Italy’s meteorological society has said Monday’s violent storm may have involved a waterspout, essentially a tornado over water, or a downburst, which occurs more frequently but doesn’t involve the rotation of the air.

Luca Mercalli, president of the Italian Meteorology Society, also said recent temperatures may have been a factor. 

“The sea surface temperature around Sicily was around 30 degrees Celsius [86 Fahrenheit], which is almost 3 degrees more than normal,” Mercalli told Reuters. “This creates an enormous source of energy that contributes to these storms.”

The Mediterranean sailing vacation was designed to be a celebration for Lynch, who two months ago was acquitted by a San Francisco jury of fraud charges stemming from the 2011 sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion.

Prosecutors alleged that Lynch, dubbed “Britain’s Bill Gates,” and Autonomy’s vice president for finance, Stephen Chamberlain, had padded the firm’s finances ahead of the sale. Lynch’s lawyers argued that HP was so eager to acquire Autonomy that it failed to adequately check the books .

Lynch had taken Morvill, who was one of his defense attorneys, on the luxury trip. 

Chamberlain was not on the Bayesian.

In what appears to be a tragic coincidence, a car struck and killed Chamberlain on Saturday as he was jogging in a village about 68 miles north of London, local police said.

“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’s lawyer, Gary Lincenberg, said in a statement .

Questions for Investigators Trying to Unravel Mystery of Luxury Yacht’s Sinking

The investigators searching for answers about the shipwreck, leaving seven dead, face questions about extreme weather and possible human error or problems with the yacht itself.

By Alan Yuhas

More than 180 feet long, with a mast towering about 240 feet and a keel that could be lowered for greater stability, the Bayesian luxury yacht did not, in the eyes of its maker, have the vulnerabilities of a ship that would easily sink.

“It drives me insane,” Giovanni Costantino, the chief executive of the Italian Sea Group, which in 2022 bought the company that made the ship, said after its wreck last week. “Following all the proper procedures, that boat is unsinkable.”

But the $40 million sailing yacht sank within minutes and with fatal results: seven dead, including the British technology billionaire Michael Lynch, his teenage daughter, four of Mr. Lynch’s friends and a member of the crew. Fifteen people, including the captain, escaped on a lifeboat.

Mr. Lynch had invited family, friends and part of his legal team on a cruise in the Mediterranean to celebrate his acquittal in June of fraud charges tied to the sale of his company to the tech giant Hewlett-Packard.

The Italian authorities have opened a manslaughter investigation, searching for answers from the survivors, the manufacturer and the wreck itself. They face a range of questions and possible factors.

An ‘earthquake’ in the sky?

When the Bayesian sank around 4 a.m. on Aug. 19, the waters in its area, about half a mile off the Sicilian port of Porticello, were transformed by an extremely sudden and violent storm, according to fishermen, a captain in the area and meteorologists.

But what kind of storm is still a mystery, compounded by the fact that a sailing schooner anchored nearby did not have its own disaster. Also unclear is whether the crew was aware that the Italian authorities had issued general warnings about bad weather the night before.

Karsten Börner, the captain of the nearby passenger ship, said he’d had to steady his ship during “really violent” winds . During the storm, he said, the Bayesian seemed to disappear behind his ship.

Severe lightning and strong gusts were registered by the Italian Air Force’s Center for Aerospace Meteorology and Climatology, according to Attilio Di Diodato, its director. “It was very intense and brief in duration,” he said.

The yacht, he said, had most likely been hit by a fierce downburst — a blast of powerful wind surging down during a thunderstorm. His agency put out rough-sea warnings the previous evening, alerting sailors about possible storms.

Locals have said the winds “felt like an earthquake.” A fisherman in Porticello said that he had seen a flare go off in the early-morning hours. His brother ventured to the site once the weather had calmed about 20 minutes later, he said, finding only floating cushions.

The Italian authorities have so far declined to say whether investigators had seen any structural damage to the hull or other parts of the ship.

Open hatches or doors?

The boat executive, Mr. Costantino, has argued that the Bayesian was an extremely safe vessel that could list even to 75 degrees without capsizing. His company, the Italian Sea Group, in 2022 bought the yacht’s manufacturer, Perini Navi, which launched the ship in 2008.

Mr. Costantino said that if some of the hatches on the side and in the stern, or some of the deck doors, had been open, the boat could have taken on water and sunk. Standard procedure in such storms, he said, would be to switch on the engine, lift the anchor and turn the boat into the wind, lowering the keel for extra stability, closing doors and gathering the guests in the main hall inside the deck.

At a news conference on Saturday, almost a week after the sinking, investigators said the yacht had sunk at an angle , with its stern — where the heavy engine was — having gone down first. The wreck was found lying on its right side at the bottom of a bay, about 165 feet deep.

12 guests occupied the yacht’s six cabins. There were also 10 crew members.

Open hatches, doors and cabin windows could have let in water during a storm, according to the manufacturer.

Water pouring into open hatches or doors could have contributed to the sinking, experts say, but that on its own may not account for the speed at which such a large boat vanished underwater.

Asked about the hatches at the news conference, the authorities declined to comment on whether they had been found open at the wreck.

The authorities have also not specified whether the boat had been anchored, whether it was under power at the time or whether its sails had been unfurled.

A retracted keel?

The Bayesian had a keel — the fin-like structure beneath a boat that can help stabilize it — that could be retracted or extended, according to its manufacturer. On some yachts, keels can be raised to let the large vessel dock in shallower water, and extended downward to help keep a boat level.

But like the hatches, the status of the keel alone may not explain why a large ship sank with such precipitous speed. Investigators have not disclosed what divers may have seen at the wreck, aside from saying divers had faced obstacles like furnishings and electrical wiring in tight quarters. Officials want to raise the wreck to better examine it, a process that may take weeks.

Human error?

Ambrogio Cartosio, the prosecutor in charge of the case, said at the news conference that it was “plausible” crimes had been committed, but that investigators had not zeroed in on any potential suspects.

“There could be responsibilities of the captain only,” he said. “There could be responsibilities of the whole crew. There could be responsibilities of the boat makers. Or there could be responsibilities of those who were in charge of surveilling the boat.”

It remains unclear what kind of emergency training or preparation took place before the disaster, or what kind of coordination there was during it. So far, none of the surviving crew members have made a public statement about what happened the night the ship sank.

Prosecutors said they want to ask more questions of the captain and crew, who have been in a Sicilian hotel with other survivors. They said that neither alcohol nor drug tests had been performed on crew members, and that they have been allowed to leave Italy.

Prosecutors also said they were also investigating why the captain, an experienced sailor, left the sinking boat while some passengers were still on board.

Besides possible manslaughter charges, the authorities are investigating the possibility of a negligently caused shipwreck.

The bodies of five passengers were found in one cabin, on the left side of the yacht, the authorities said. The five were most likely trying to flee to the higher side of the boat and were probably sleeping when the boat started to sink, they said.
