Best NYC boat tours

1.  luxury brunch, lunch or dinner harbor cruise.

So this is how to really do an NYC boat tour. Choose which fine dining food option you fancy and then settle into a blissful tour around New York Harbor, with a live pianist your exceptional aural entertainment. And sure, the luxury dining and the music might be pretty good but you wait until you gaze out across the Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty and One World Trade Center from your private table with 360-degree panoramic views. 

Don't miss: The sultry sounds of the onboard jazz pianist who's on a mission to get people dancing.  

2.  Statue of Liberty Express Cruise

Perfect for the sightseer who knows exactly what he or she wants, this Circle Line express tour goes right to the Statue of Liberty – no pit stops this time. Listen to an expert guide point out some lower Manhattan landmarks before pausing for photos right next to Lady Liberty. And since this cruise only takes an hour, it’s easy to fit into even the busiest itinerary.

Don't miss: The perfect photo opp of the famous sculpture and other harbor landmarks. 

3.  NYC: Evening Jazz Cruise on the Yacht Manhattan

Here’s one for the schmoozy, romantic vacationers who are seeking a maximum NYC experience. This sunset sailing cruise with a live jazz band will have you gazing (and jiving) out as the sun drops below Manhattan. Sitting on a 1920s sailing boat, you’ll sail past NYC’s biggest landmarks (including the Statue of Liberty) while a live band plays a mix of beloved classics to contemporary R&B renditions. With an alcoholic drink in hand, live jazz in your ears, and the city lights sparkling in your eyes across the water, you’re in for a swingingly good time.

Don't miss:  Asking the band to play your favorite tune.

4.  Manhattan: Private Sailing Yacht Cruise

Don’t want to share your views of the city skyline? You don’t have to on this private tour of the Hudson River at sunset. It’s your party, so you can bring any food or drinks you like on board. You’ll feel like a high roller as you kick back on your private yacht for the evening.

Don't miss: Chill with your crew on any of the three lounge areas, including the outdoor deck and sun pad. 

5.  Circle Line: Best of NYC Cruise

How better to get your bearing in a city as enormous as NYC than by circumnavigation? The Circle Line’s two-and-a-half-hour tour does a full loop of Manhattan Island, taking passengers past plenty of the city’s most popular sights in the process. Spanning three rivers and all five boroughs, you’ll even pass within touching distance of Lady Liberty herself. In other words, get your camera ready!

Don't miss: Non-English speakers can download the Circle Line app for a translated commentary. 

6.  New York City: Alive After Five Cocktail Cruise

Get a taste of the Big Apple’s nightlife scene with this happy hour boat tour on the Hudson River. The Alive After Five cocktail cruise has everything you need: a fully stocked bar, a dance floor, and a killer DJ. Did someone say tequila? 

Don't miss:  Views of the Manhattan skyline as the sun goes down and the lights turn on. 

7.  New York Water Taxi Cruises

You can't miss the water taxis, they look just like the car versions: big, bright and yellow. These little beauties cruise round New York Harbor daily, passing major sites like the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings, Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. You can stay on and complete the entire loop in 70 minutes, or hop on and off as you please, exploring the greats eats, shops and attractions in NYC's waterside neighborhoods.

Don't miss: They have a team that can help you create a custom route for your journey. 

8.  AIANY: Manhattan Architecture Tour Cruise

The area south of 59th Street is packed with architecturally significant buildings: the Chrysler Building, the Woolworth Building, the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center just to name a few. This 90-minute boat tour on a 1920s yacht is led by a member of the New York chapter of the American Institute of Architects, meaning architecturally speaking, you’re in good hands. With their guidance, you’ll cover all of Manhattan’s most significant structures, plus the Brooklyn Bridge, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty.

Don't miss: Sip complimentary beer, wine or Champagne from the bar while you learn about infrastructure, parks and architecture.

9.  Staten Island Ferry

Put your purse away, because the Staten Island Ferry is totally free. That's right, in one of the most expensive cities in the world, you can find a free ride. This old chugger has been going since before any bridges were built, transporting folks from the 'burbs to Manhattan in 25 minutes. Boats leave South Ferry at Battery Park and run 24 hours a day.

Don't miss: The stunning panoramas of lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty.

10.  New York City: Sunset Sail Aboard a Schooner

Fresh air, ocean waves, a free drink and front row (floating) seats to one of the most famous sunsets in the world. It’s fair to say that this leisurely cruise on the Schooner America 2.0 really does have it all. Sit back and relax as the crew guides this 1800s style sailboat out into the harbor while deep gold light wraps up the city. You’ll glide peacefully past landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island as the sun dips behind the Manhattan skyline. What better way to say “goodbye” to a perfect NYC day?

Don't miss : Your complimentary drink that you get to sip on board.

11.  Circle Line: Beast Speedboat Ride

Adrenaline junkies will want to book tickets for this supercharged half-hour ride through New York Harbor. The 70-foot speedboat known as the  Beast  zooms toward the Statue of Liberty at 45 miles per hour, kicking up plenty of waves. In fact, the ride can get so intense that guides recommend wearing wetsuits.

Don't miss : The ride is accompanied by a thumping soundtrack to really kick things into high gear.

12.  NYC: Statue of Liberty Day Sail with Onboard Bar

This historic experience will have you feeling like you've just stepped into the heart of  The Great Gatsby— or really any other seafaring period drama. Sail Manhattan has two vessels for this experience—the 1920s restored Shearwater sailing boat, and The Clipper, a majestic tall ship with billowing sails. You’ll sail down the Hudson River on one of these spectacular ships, with the aim of the 1.5-hour sail to give you an awe-inspiring (and crowd-free) view of NYC’s biggest landmark hits. 

Don't miss : The open bar that's slinging drinks all hour long.

#1 Sailboat Charter In NYC ★★★★★

Perfect experience for a family, small group of local friends, or tourists. Stunning city skyscapes and incredible sunset views! Gino and Caleb were an amazing staff - friendly, knowledgeable and so accommodating. The night had an unexpectedly perfect ending with a fireworks show over the Hudson, too. Could not recommend more!

We LOVED our sail today! Captain Caleb and Gino were both knowledgeable and accommodating. My family and I went to celebrate my birthday. We highly recommend the sail to anyone looking to see NYC and the sites from a different vantage while enjoying the water and an awesome boat ride. We can’t wait to do it again!!!!

Wonderful brunch cruise along the Hudson River. We were made very welcome, the captain and crew really looked after us, very relaxed. This is a must on your trip to NYC. I will definitely do this again on this gorgeous boat! Thank you for such a lovely time.

We loved our experience with them! Boarding was super easy and the captain was experienced and witty. They set us up with drinks and music right at the beginning and really let us do our own thing the entire trip checking in to see what we needed often. None of us had any experience on a boat but anything we needed to know they explained early on (not a whole lot other than safely moving around the boat because they handled everything). All 6 of us would do it again, loved it! Phenomenal way to view the city skyline and Statue of Liberty!

We had such a wonderful time sailing yesterday. The boat was just the right size, the captain and crew provided excellent service. We hope to make this a monthly experience with you all. It was one of the most peaceful experiences we had in nyc. It was an excellent way to experience the city.

We decided to treat ourselves for a birthday/Anniversary private sail around the NY harbor. This sunset sail was absolutely beautiful and totally exceeded our expectations. Thank you Caleb and Gino for a wonderful evening.

Wow !! what a beautiful ride. The captain and crew were so accommodating, kind, and helpful. They really went out of their way to make it the best evening it could be. Thank you! Highly recommend, and hope to be back!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Captain Martin this year and highly recommend sailing and/or boating with this company! All of the staff and crew were wonderful and I plan on returning as a passenger for years to come. Sailing in the harbor is a must for all NYC residents and visitors!

More about Sailo Yacht Rentals in New York City

New York City is known as more than just “the city that never sleeps”, it is home to the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Times Square, Broadway and the New York Yankees. If you're looking to charter a yacht in the northeastern U.S., NY is the ultimate sailing destination . In this breathtaking location, the city meets the sea and provides gorgeous views and nautical adventures for vacationers of every interest. NY boat rentals offer the opportunity to immerse yourself in gorgeous scenery of the Manhattan skyline and the natural beauty of the Atlantic Ocean. You've never truly experienced NYC until you've rented a boat and set sail from Manhattan.

Explore New York boat rentals

Summer in the city never felt so good. Manhattan, the main NY boat rental area, offers several types of boats fit for every occasion and interest. Whether you're looking for the perfect NY boat rental for your fishing adventure or you want a sunset dinner cruise with views of the Manhattan skyline, Sailo's got you covered.

How to rent a yacht in New York?

There are three main types of NY yacht rentals to choose from: sailboats , motor boats , and party boats . These are daily yacht rentals, meaning they can be rented for up to a certain number of hours each day, depending on the rental. You can choose the vessel for your trip based on your party size and activity preference.

What to see in New York when renting a boat?

For the most variety in the heart of New York City, Manhattan is the place to be. Here, the city and the sea come alive in perfect harmony, with luxurious dinner cruises and adventurous excursions to satisfy the boat-lover in all of us. This city has a boat rental for every occasion and convenient access to the surrounding areas of the northeast. If you're here for a weekend or even just a day, we recommend Manhattan for its central location to all things fun in the Big Apple. Take a morning sail in the fresh Atlantic air, rent a party boat for your next spring break vacay, or dine aboard a sunset dinner cruise through this beautiful harbor.

Jersey City

Jersey City also offers some amazing yacht rentals in NYC. The Jersey City marina is slightly smaller, but don't let that stop you from checking out this beautiful hidden gem right across the water from Manhattan. If you're looking for a relaxing romantic sail or a family-friendly sailing for the weekend, this is the place to be. While you're here, take advantage of the close proximity to some of New York City's iconic sites, like the Statue of Liberty and the Hudson River. These attractions make NY boat rentals completely worth it.

Other nearby locations to explore

If you're in the New York City area and want to explore some other scenic destinations by sailing, we recommend the Hamptons and Oyster Bay . Each of these locations is perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends. For a taste of the traditional, head to the Hamptons for picturesque northeastern views and beautiful seaside architecture. Go fishing in Montauk or join in the fun with some epic watersports rentals for any skill level. If you're looking for even more history and delicious cuisine, head over to Oyster Bay. This sailing paradise is located just a stone's throw away from the historic Vanderbilt Estate (and some incomparable oceanfront dining). No matter what suits your fancy, choose your own boating adventure on your northeastern vacation.

When is the best season to rent a yacht in New York?

Because New York is located in the northeast U.S., you should keep in mind local weather conditions when planning your boating excursion. Generally, the sailing season in New York runs from the end of April through October, as this is the time of year when the weather is the most permissible. But for the best experience, we recommend anytime from May through August. This is the warmest time of year and will offer you long, sunny days on the water with gorgeous evening sunsets. Of course, you should check the average weather conditions during the time you plan to visit and pack accordingly. Spring and fall temperatures tend to range in the high 50°s with some rainfall, which summer temperatures are generally in the 80°s with some humidity. Because the temperature can differ within the sailing season, be sure to pay attention to the weather forecast before embarking on your boating vacation and pack the appropriate clothing and gear before you set sail.

The New York lawyer who died in the Bayesian yacht sinking wrote a LinkedIn post months before the tragedy that ended with 'they all lived happily ever after'

Mike Lynch's lawyer wrote a chilling LinkedIn post two months before the superyacht tragedy.

Celebrating his client's acquittal, Christopher Morvillo wrote: "They all lived happily ever after."

Morvillo was one of the seven people who died when the yacht sank off the coast of Sicily.

Late British tech billionaire Mike Lynch 's top lawyer wrote a chilling LinkedIn post just two months before the superyacht tragedy — a note that ended with the phrase, "They all lived happily ever after."

Attorney Christopher Morvillo 's post spoke about his recent legal win in June, when Lynch, charged with fraud over the sale of his company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard, was acquitted of all charges .

His LinkedIn post discussed the "thrilling verdict" after "years of painstaking work."

He thanked members of his law firm, Clifford Chance and Steptoe LLP, with whom he worked on the case. His post also included a June 14 article from ALM, a law publication, which called him one of its "Litigators of the Week."

Then came the last two paragraphs, which touched on how happy Morvillo was to be back home with his family.

"And, finally, a huge thank you to my patient and incredible wife, Neda Morvillo, and my two strong, brilliant, and beautiful daughters, Sabrina Morvillo and Sophia Morvillo," he wrote. "None of this would have been possible without your love and support. I am so glad to be home."

"And they all lived happily ever after," he added.

Morvillo was one of the seven passengers killed out of the 22 people aboard Lynch's 183-foot superyacht called "Bayesian." The yacht sank during stormy weather near Palermo, Italy, on August 19.

Fifteen people, including Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, and the ship's captain, James Cutfield of New Zealand, were rescued from the sunken ship.

Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, Morvillo's wife Neda, and Morgan Stanley International Chair Jonathan Bloomer died in the tragedy.

Lynch's co-defendant in the fraud trial, Stephen Chamberlain, died after being struck by a car just two days before Lynch's yacht sank.

Representatives for Morvillo at Clifford Chance did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours.

Ukraine Says It Struck at 2 Oil Depots Inside Russia

Kyiv is pressing its drone campaign while lobbying allies for permission to use weapons supplied by NATO countries for strikes deep inside Russia.

• Share full article

By Matthew Mpoke Bigg

Ukraine’s military said on Thursday that it had struck two more Russian oil depots, pressing ahead with a campaign of attacks against a sector vital to Moscow’s war effort.

The strikes coincided with accelerated lobbying by Ukraine’s political leaders for permission to use weapons supplied by allies in NATO to strike targets deep inside Russia, as Kyiv seeks to bring the pain and hardship of war home to Russia.

The Ukrainian military said it launched an attack that caused a fire on Wednesday at the Atlas oil depot in the Rostov region, which borders eastern Ukraine. The governor of the region, Vasily Golubev, reported a fire at an oil depot and said that four drones had been shot down.

Ukraine also struck an oil depot in Russia’s Kirov region, which is roughly 800 miles from the Ukrainian border, northeast of Moscow; and an artillery depot in Voronezh region, which borders Ukraine, the military’s general staff said.

The Russian governor of the Kirov region, Aleksandr Sokolov, said in a post on Telegram that an oil facility there had been set on fire on Wednesday. Two drones were shot down, while three others crashed, he said. The governor of the Voronezh region, Aleksandr Gusev, also reported a drone attack , but said in a post on Telegram that no damage was caused.

The claims could not be independently confirmed.

For months, Ukraine has conducted attacks using exploding drones against Russian infrastructure, in particular oil facilities, hoping to slow an offensive by Moscow’s forces. Russia has nevertheless advanced toward the city of Pokrovsk , which is an important transport and logistics hub in eastern Ukraine.

In Kyiv, explosions from a Russian drone attack rattled buildings overnight, the third time this week that Moscow had launched an aerial attack against the Ukrainian capital. Ukraine’s Air Force said it had shot down 60 drones and two missiles, but the attack was smaller than on Monday, when strikes hit many regions.

Moscow’s aerial campaign, which has frequently targeted Ukraine’s power grid, aims to cripple the country’s ability to stave off Russia’s full-scale invasion and deepen the hardships of war for Ukrainian civilians.

But the government in Kyiv has attempted a riposte with its own series of attacks, including the surprise offensive over the border into Russia’s Kursk region that began earlier this month.

That incursion has been accompanied by calls from Ukrainian officials for its allies to ease restrictions on the use of the missiles they have given to Kyiv that prohibit striking deep inside Russia with them.

A member of Ukraine’s Parliament said in June that the armed forces had used a rocket system supplied by the United States to hit a military facility in Russia’s Belgorod region, which borders Ukraine.

The country also used American-supplied munitions and vehicles in its Kursk incursion. Pentagon and State Department officials have said that use of American-supplied weapons and munitions did not violate U.S. policy .

President Volodymyr Zelensky late on Wednesday urged the country’s allies from NATO to give his country more weapons and greater latitude to use them against Russia itself. True unity with NATO partners, he said in a speech overnight, would mean permission to do long-range strikes.

“We continue to insist that their determination now — lifting the restrictions on long-range strikes for Ukraine now — will help us to end the war as soon as possible,” he said. Earlier this week, the defense minister, Rustem Umerov, said Ukraine wanted to be able to strike logistics points and military airfields.

Russia has threatened a grave response to any attacks on its soil with Western weapons. Some of Ukraine’s allies have argued that their use risked a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia, a nuclear-armed nation. So far that grave response has not materialized.

Earlier this summer, the Biden administration gave permission for Ukraine to conduct limited strikes inside Russia with American-made weapons — but only in Russian territory near northeastern Ukraine and for defensive purposes.

A wide range of significant targets that underpin Moscow’s campaign could be within reach of Ukraine’s longer-range weapons, the Institute for the Study of War, a think tank based in Washington, said in a recent report .

Diplomatic outreach has been a critical component of the Ukrainian government’s response to Russia’s invasion and on Wednesday, Mr. Zelensky spoke by telephone with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.

Mr. Zelensky joined other international leaders in expressing strong support for Israel after a deadly attack led by Hamas on Oct. 7, but the two men had not spoken for nearly a year, according to a report by Kan, the Israeli public broadcaster.

They discussed the situation in the Middle East and the recent Russian attacks on Ukraine as well as other topics, the report said. Mr. Netanyahu also expressed support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity, according to Serhiy Nikiforov, Mr. Zelensky’s spokesman.

The government in Kyiv has also attempted to corral diplomatic support for its own peace plan, which would involve a complete Russian withdrawal from Ukrainian territory. This week, Mr. Zelensky said he planned to present a “plan for Ukraine’s victory” to President Biden in September.

Ukraine’s incursion into the Kursk region is part of the plan, along with further financial measures to force Moscow to end the war, Mr. Zelensky said. He gave few other details.

UN nuclear watchdog chief pushes back on Moscow's calls for objectivity after Kursk plant visit

By ruxandra iordache,cnbc • published 6 hours ago • updated 5 hours ago.

• "What we need to do is to objectively, not to stoke any hysteria or anything like that, but to indicate when a danger exists. And here it does. It objectively [exists]," Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Thursday.

His comments come after Russia on Wednesday urged more objectivity from the IAEA in the performance of its duties.

• Last week, Russia accused Ukraine of attempting a drone strike at the Kursk nuclear plant during a lightning cross-border incursion under way since early August, which Moscow is still trying to repel.

The head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog has pushed back against Moscow's calls for further objectivity, following an inspection at the nuclear facility in the embattled Russian region of Kursk.

CNBC could not independently verify the incident and has reached out to the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"What we need to do is to objectively, not to stoke any hysteria or anything like that, but to indicate when a danger exists. And here it does. It objectively [exists]," Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Thursday.

"The spokesperson of the Russian ministry of foreign affairs rightly says, be objective. Yes, we are being objective. We are saying here that this nuclear power plant ... is within range of a potential artillery strike, which means that the danger exists. Is this danger inherent to the technology? Absolutely not," he said, adding that these facilities hold "strategic value" in military conflicts because they serve national energy infrastructure.

"We see both the assessments and the work of this structure [the IAEA], but each time we want a more objective and clear expression of this structure's position, not in favor of our country, not in favor of confirming Moscow's position, but in favor of facts with one specific goal: ensuring security and preventing the development of a scenario along a catastrophic path, to which the Kiev regime is pushing everyone," Maria Zakharova, official representative of the Russian foreign ministry, said Wednesday on Sputnik radio, according to a Google-translated report from Russian state-owned news outlet Ria Novosti.

Grossi on Thursday acknowledged that parties at war are likely to retain a "strategic ambiguity that surrounds any military operation," translating into less disclosure over their activities.   

"I also understand these attempts to drag me, or us, the agency, into their own preferred narrative that we need to avoid," he said.

Grossi led a delegation to inspect the Kursk facility on Wednesday, telling reporters in a subsequent briefing that "the core of the reactor containing nuclear material is protected just by a normal roof. This makes it extremely exposed and fragile, for example, to artillery impact or drone[s] or missiles."

On Thursday, Grossi explained that the Kursk nuclear plant contains reactors of the Soviet RBMK-type, similar to the ones present in the Chernobyl facility, which suffered one of the worst nuclear disasters in history in 1986.

This make of reactors lacks a reinforced roof, meaning that "if there was an attack, or, wittingly or unwittingly, or as a result of any exchange, there could be a possibility of an impact on nuclear material. And therefore release of radioactivity into the atmosphere," Grossi said.

Recounting his on-site findings, he described the Kursk facility as still operating in "relatively normal conditions," but noted "indications around the perimeter of the plant of impacts of projectiles, shrapnel markings, so on, which indicate or could indicate the existence of these kinetic events in the past."

The risk of nuclear detonation as a result of nearby military activity has been a chief concern since the February 2022 start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Moscow's subsequent occupation of the Ukrainian plant in Zaporizhzhia — the largest nuclear power facility in Europe

Nuclear concerns have only mounted since this month's start of the Ukrainian counter-offensive on the territory of Russia, which is the fifth-largest owner of nuclear reactors globally, according to the World Economic Forum .

Clashes between Moscow and Kyiv intensified at the start of the week, with Russia launching a massive barrage of 236 drones and missiles on what the Ukrainian air force described as "critical Ukrainian infrastructure."

Referencing the offensive, the permanent mission of Ukraine to the IAEA reported in a note that "due to fluctuations in the national power grid caused by Russia's attack, at 17:10 (EEST}, power unit 3 of the South Ukraine NPP was disconnected from the grid."

"The Russian Federation continues to deliberately target Ukraine's energy infrastructure, intending to disrupt the operation of the country's nuclear power plants, which provide most of Ukraine's electricity. Russian attacks pose a significant risk to the stable operation of nuclear facilities in Ukraine and the safety of millions of people," the mission said.

Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment.

National News | Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger pushes for trial to change venues

The trial is scheduled to get underway in Latah County in June , but defense lawyers have asked the court to move the highly publicized hearing to Ada County, where Boise, the state capital, is located.

They say it would be nearly impossible to find an impartial jury in Latah County, due to “inflammatory” publicity and a “mob mentality” among residents .

Kohberger has pleaded not guilty to four counts of first-degree murder in the grisly deaths of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in at their off-campus home in Moscow in the early hours of Nov. 13, 2022.

If convicted, Kohberger could face the death penalty result , though his team contends local residents “ would probably find and kill ” the defendant themselves if he’s set free, according to CNN.

“They’d burn the courthouse down,” his attorneys said. “Outrage would be a mild description.”

Locals in and around Boise, according to defense attorneys, might take the proceedings less personally.

Prosecutors maintain an impartial jury can be assembled in Latah County, but told the court that moving the trial to more nearby counties like Nez Perce or Kootenai could be an acceptable solution for people close to the case who would have a hard time making the commute to Boise, according to NBC News.

Kohberger was a criminal justice student at Washington State University in Pullman when he allegedly carried out the bloody massacre in Moscow less than 10 miles away, shortly before the Thanksgiving break.

He was arrested six weeks later after driving across the country with his father to the Kohberger family home in eastern Pennsylvania.

A knife sheath with DNA found at the crime scene helped lead investigators to Kohberger. No murder weapon has been found and a motive has not been put forward.

It doesn’t appear the suspect and the victims had a relationship.

Thursday’s hearing was filled with analysis of public opinion polls examining potential juror prejudices in Idaho counties where the trial might happen.

A decision on the change of venue hadn’t yet been reached by early Thursday evening.

Breaking news, mike lynch’s wife didn’t want to leave site of sunken sicily yacht without husband and daughter.

The wife of tech mogul Mike Lynch didn’t want to leave the scene of his sunken yacht without her husband and their teenage daughter before they were both later confirmed dead, according to a captain who helped rescue survivors during the Sicily storm.

Angela Bacares was so frantic to find her family she even hesitated getting medical help after getting out of the Bayesian during a ferocious storm that sank it, Karsten Borner told People Magazine.

“[Bacares] didn’t want to leave because her husband and her daughter were still down,” said Borner, who helped rescue the survivors after witnessing the tragedy from his own boat, the Sir Robert Baden Powell.

“She was picked up a little bit later because I asked the coast guard to take her as I thought she needed medical help. Then, over the course of the next two, three hours — [I] don’t know exactly how much later — the coast guards came and the rest of the Bayesian people went away with them.”

Lynche’s wife was among 15 people who escaped the 184-foot luxury yacht on Aug. 19 after a sudden squall of tornado-like waterspouts pummeled the superyacht, causing it to sink. Others saved included a mom and her 1-year-old baby.

It would take days to recover the bodies of the seven who died, including tech tycoon Lynch 59, and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah.

Borner said he noticed the weather rapidly deteriorating around 3 a.m. when his ship and the Bayesian were the only two out anchored off the coast of Porticello in Sicily.

“When things calmed down and the storm abated somewhat and the wind dropped a bit, we were looking around and couldn’t see the Bayesian anymore,” Borner told the magazine.

“We checked the AIS [automatic identification system], and we couldn’t see the Bayesian anymore. Two passengers and two crew members saw what looked like a whale in the water and realized afterwards it was the capsized boat,” he said.

“A moment later, I saw a triangle in the sea in a split second that the sky was lit up by lightning, and that must have been the bow of the ship while sinking over the stern.”

After witnessing the Bayesian sink, Borner and his first mate got onto a smaller boat, called a tender, and headed to where the Bayesian had been.

“We first found things floating in the water like cushions and chairs and stuff,” Borner said. “And then we saw a flickering light. This was a life raft with a light on the top. And they also waved at us with a torch.”

“So we went there, and then we found the crew and part of the passengers — 15 people in a 12-person raft, including a little baby,” he added.

What to know after a tornado sank the yacht Bayesian off the coast of Sicily:

• A superyacht capsized off the coast of Sicily after a tornado hit the area early Monday, killing seven passengers.
• British tech tycoon Mike Lynch was identified as one of the bodies pulled from the wreckage. His teenage daughter, Hannah, was the final one to be recovered.
• Lynch — known as “Britain’s Bill Gates” — had invited guests from Clifford Chance, a legal firm that represented him, and Invoke Capital, his own company, on the voyage,  according to the Telegraph . 
• Security camera footage shot from 650 feet from where the  Bayesian sank Monday  shows it disappearing.
• A rare and unexpected “black swan” weather event may have led to the  Bayesian’s speedy demise , maritime experts say.

Borner and his crew took in the survivors, providing first aid, dry clothes and blankets to those in the raft.

The survivors also told Borner there were other passengers still missing, which led the tender to be sent out again.

“They looked around at sea and obviously didn’t find anything,” Borner said.

The other victims included the ship’s chef, Ricardo Thomas, New York City attorney Christopher Morvillo and his wife, Neda; and Morgan Stanley executive Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy.

The exact cause of the yacht’s sinking remains unknown, however, Italian prosecutors are probing whether the actions of Captain James Cutfield, 51, may have led to tragedy.

Under maritime law, a ship’s captain assumes full responsibility for safety of the vessel, its crew, and all passengers.
