2003 Ferretti Yachts 590 Motoryacht – Pretty Lady – Fort Lauderdale, Florida

The Ferretti Yachts 590 is a flybridge motoryacht penned for entertainment and relaxation. Gilman Yachts has this 2003 Ferretti 590, Pretty Lady , listed with a $499,000 asking price.

Exterior entertainment spaces aboard Pretty lady include a two-person sun pad on the foredeck, two forward-facing transom bench seats in the cockpit and a U-shaped dinette on the flybridge.

Inside, the split-level salon has a lounge area aft with a U-shaped settee to port and a chair to starboard. Staircases flank the salon amidships with the floating staircase to port leading up to the flybridge and the staircase to starboard leading belowdecks. A more formal dining spot, a C-shaped dinette, is forward and up three steps to starboard, directly adjacent to the helm station.

The galley is down, located amidships and accessed via the starboard stairway. The galley is equipped with a Bosch four-burner electric cooktop, a Premium refrigerator and freezer and a Cuisinart built-in microwave oven.

2005 Hinckley Yachts Talaria 40 – Elise – Portland, Maine

“The new [Hinckley] Talaria 40 is neither as sporty as her smaller sibling nor as soft on the senses as her larger sister. She fits nicely between the two, with accommodations that invite owners to spend more than a weekend aboard, even to prepare meals and sleep,” Yachting previously reported. 

Worth Avenue Yachts has Elise , a Hinckley Yachts Talaria 40 that combines classic downeast lines with angling features, listed for sale with a $599,000 price tag. While the yacht was originally delivered in 2005, it was transformed in 2012 after naval architect Mathew Smith, engineers from Volvo Penta and Hank Hinckley replaced the standard jet propulsion system with the latest Volvo Penta IPS pod-drive propulsion system, resulting in a “groundbreaking and first-of-its-kind modification,” according to Worth Avenue Yachts.

The yacht has “enhanced tracking, superior turning ability, and a more efficient midrange cruise compared to traditional jet-powered counterparts,” says the broker, adding, “ Elise goes a step further by offering dynamic positioning, allowing her to hold a specific GPS position at the touch of a button—an invaluable feature not only around docks but also during bridge wait times or while observing an upwind mark rounding in a sailing race.”

With the yacht’s previous owner being an avid fisherman, they added an array of features that enhance the fishing experience, including 27-foot Rupp removable outriggers, rod holders, a baitwell, a slightly modified cockpit, a removable rocket launcher and a livewell.

Belowdecks, owners and guests have access to the day head to port, the V-berth cabin forward and the galley to starboard. The galley is equipped with a Corian countertop, a two-burner Princess electric cooktop, a single-basin polished stainless-steel sink, a Sharp convection microwave oven, an Adler Barbour refrigerator/freezer and a U-Line ice maker.

The interior has two L-shaped settees and a fixed table to port. Twin low-hour (653) 435 hp Volvo Penta IPS600 diesels power the 40-footer.

Additional features aboard Elise include:

• Garmin 8617 multifunction display/radar, chart plotter
• Simrad AP28 Autopilot
• Icom IC-M602 VHF
• Raymarine ST60 Tri-data display

Grand Banks 46 Eastbay SX – 2012 – Defiance – Essex, Connecticut

“Sportiness is not a modifier often associated with Downeast-style express cruisers. But the new 46 Eastbay is powered by the Zeus propulsion system from Cummins MerCruiser Diesel, which changes the game as far as performance and handling are concerned,” Yachting previously reported . 

Grand Banks Yachts built, and is currently selling Defiance , a Grand Banks 46 Eastbay SX, for $829,000. The 2012 Downeast Cruiser features a two-stateroom, two-head layout. It’s powered by twin 600 hp Cummins QSC 8.3 diesels with Zeus pod drives, which give the 46 Eastbay SX a 31-knot top hop.

The interior of the 46-footer has satin-finish teak with a teak-and-holly sole throughout the interior. A U-shaped dinette to port and a sofa to starboard complete the salon’s seating arrangement.

Belowdecks, owners and their guests will find the galley amidships with the en suite master stateroom and its queen berth forward in the bow. Galley appliances include a Princess Gourmet three-burner cooktop, a freezer, two refrigerator drawers, a microwave/convection oven, a stainless-steel sink and provision stowage.

Some other notable features on board Defiance include:

• New Garmin electronics suite
• Freedom hydraulic tender lift
• AB center console
• Stidd helm chair

2004 Azimut Yachts 62E – Nailed It – Orange Beach, Alabama

When Azimut Yachts first introduced the 62 Evolution in 2004 to replace its 58 Fly, the builder focused on creating a vessel suited for family-style cruising and entertaining. Nailed it is a 2004 Azimut 62E listed with United Yacht Sales for $569,000.

That yacht has a split-level interior arrangement with a lounge area aft, and the formal dining forward and adjacent to the lower helm station and galley. A C-shaped settee and fixed coffee table are to port and a sofa is to starboard. The C-shaped dinette is up two steps and to starboard. The galley is equipped with a service bar, a double sink, a four-burner glass cooktop and an upright refrigerator and freezer.

Outside entertainment spaces include the sun pad on the foredeck, the transom bench seat in the cockpit and a U-shaped dinette on the flybridge that doubles as a lounge pad.

After a fun day on the water comes to an end and owners and guests alike are ready to turn in, head belowdecks where three staterooms offer accommodations for six. The full-beam amidships master stateroom has an inboard-facing angled queen berth and an en suite head. The forepeak VIP has a queen berth while the third guest stateroom has single berths.

Power for Nailed It comes from twin 914 hp MTU 8V 2000 M 90 diesels, giving the 65-footer a reported 31-knot top hop.

Some other notable features on board Nailed It include:

2002 Viking Yachts 61 Enclosed Bridge – Kiki – Destin Florida

For anglers in the market for a supersize sport-fisherman, Galati Yacht Sales has Kiki , a Viking Yachts 61 Enclosed Bridge, listed for sale with an $899,000 price tag. The 2002 build has a 170-square-foot cockpit, an all-weather skylounge and room for a hardcore tournament crew.

The enclosed bridge has two access points, either via the salon or from stairs in the cockpit. The helm station has a seat on centerline flanked by a bench seat to starboard and a second helm chair to port. An L-shaped settee, coffee table and flat-screen TV abaft the helm station gives the space a skylounge vibe. One level up from the enclosed bridge is a second helm station that offers a clear view of the trolling spread. 

Kiki ’s salon has lounge seating aft with an L-shaped sofa and coffee table to port. The galley is forward with a C-shaped dinette directly to starboard. The galley comes with a U-shaped, high-polished Corian sandstone countertop and an array of appliances including:

• Under-counter refrigeration with drawers, two refrigerators and one freezer

2018 Azimut 50 Fly – Relentless – Miami, Florida

MarineMax currently has Relentless, an Azimut Yachts 50 Fly, listed for sale at $895,000. The 2018 flybridge cruiser is dressed to impress inside and out with a variety of outdoor entertainment spaces and a main-deck interior that Yachting once described as contemporary and warm.

Volume-enhancing windows line the main deck superstructure, bathing the salon, galley and lower helm station in natural light. The split-level interior has the salon aft with a U-shaped settee and fixed folding table to starboard and a sofa to port. First-time guests probably won’t even notice the main deck galley which feels seamlessly integrated into the port-side counters, directly across from the two helm seats.

In addition to the flybridge amenities like the sun roof, sink, refrigerator and barbecue, it also has entertainment spaces like two facing sofa aft and a U-shaped dinette forward that doubles as a lounge pad. In the cockpit below guests can enjoy alfresco dining at the transom settee and fixed table, pull up a few chairs to fit up to six people. On the foredeck owners and their guests can enjoy sunbathing on the two-person sun pad.

Relentless has sleeping accommodations for up to six people in three staterooms. The full-beam amidships master stateroom has a centerline berth and an en suite head as does the forepeak VIP stateroom. The starboard guest stateroom has single bunk berths.

2008 Huckins 60 – Marina – Naples, Florida

“Her reverse transom masks an integral swim platform, which seems a practical compromise to tradition and accounts for her length overall (60 feet, 3 inches). Her styling has been refined: It’s a bit softer and has more curves than Frank Huckins might have liked. Such features were not efficient in wood construction. The gentle rise of her slightly reverse sheer, her proud chine, and the conservative rake of her stem are trademark Huckins,” Yachting previously reported . 

Allied Marine has a 2008 Huckins 60 for sale with a $995,000 asking price. Marina , a 60-foot motoryacht, has a two-stateroom layout, a new Glendinning Joystick control system and a 2-foot, 7-inch shoal draft.

The open, dance-floor-sized cockpit is a blank canvas for owners to equip to suit their entertainment needs, fishing and more. 

A few steps up from the cockpit is the bridge deck, which has the helm forward and two three-person sofas flanking the lounge space aft. A fixed, high-gloss folding table between them turns the lounge area into a formal dining spot.

Stepping belowdecks, there is a salon and open galley with three hullside windows on either side bathing the space in natural light, creating the sense of interior volume. Galley appliances include:

• Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer
• Miele dishwasher
• Kenyon two-burner ceramic stovetop 
• Granite countertops
• Built-In storage for crystal, china and flatware

Abaft the lower-deck lounge area and down a few steps is the full-beam amidships master stateroom, which has a queen berth and an en suite his-and-hers head, separated by a shower stall. The forepeak guest stateroom has V-berths.

Marina has the same 715 hp Cummins QSM 11 diesels our test yacht had, which saw a 31-knot top hop and a 25-knot cruise.

Notable helm features on board Marina include:

• Glendinning Pro Pilot Joystick control
• Glendinning Pro positioning system 
• Two Furuno Navnet 17 chart plotters
• Simrad Autopilot AP 25
• ICOM M504 VHF
• Ritchie Compass

2012 Riva SportRiva 56 – Gabriela – North Miami, Florida

“Riva’s SportRiva 56 is a dangerous yacht. It will blur your eyesight, disturb your emotions, mess with your mind. It is that older woman with the sultry eyes sitting alone at the bar. Walking down the pier toward the SportRiva, your mind says, “Run! Run for your life!” But you are powerless, drawn inexorably like metal filings to a magnet,” Yachting previously reported . 

Atlantic Yacht & Ship Inc. has the 2012 Riva SportRiva, Gabriela , for sale with an $850,000 asking price. The chic 56-foot flybridge cruiser has such a low-profile sportbridge guests might first think they’re looking at an express cruiser.

Twin MAN V8-900 diesels give Gabriela a 34-knot top hop and a 30-knot cruise speed. Yachting previously reported that, “With her 15-degree transom deadrise, she had a soft ride in the choppy Gulf Stream off Florida, and she took just a touch of trim tabs to run flat and fast.”

Outside entertainment spaces on board Gabriela include a foredeck sun pad, two lounge pads on the flybridge and a diner-style booth in the cockpit.

In the salon, guests will find seating to port with a settee and fixed table adjacent to the helm station.

This $1.1 million lakeside home in Dexter comes with furniture, a boat and a RV

There’s still time to purchase a weekend getaway to share and enjoy with the extended family this summer, and a large property at Diamondhead Lake is offering a turnkey experience for an adventurous buyer with an affection for the outdoors.

Realtor Chris Kew has listed the waterside property at $1,115,000, offering not only an oversized footprint to easily entertain multiple guests, but also bundling all the furniture, fixtures, a pontoon boat, and a six-berth camper into the asking price.

Located at the head of Diamondhead Drive on the eastern side of the 186-acre, manmade lake, the home’s 3,105-square-foot main level and 1,500-square-foot finished basement have been completely overhauled since its original usage as a community center and restaurant.

Kew compared the surrounding neighborhood as a quieter alternative to purchasing a lake house at Lake Panorama or Okoboji. “It’s more low key. They don't allow rentals. It’s a family type of place,” he said.

Built with a log-cabin inspired interior and exterior design, the four bedroom and four-bathroom property is a few steps from its own dock on the private lake, stocked with bass, catfish and other fishing favorites.

The home price includes a 2015 Bennington 2275G Series Tri-toon boat and a solar-charged boatlift to encourage residents to spend some quality time on the water. “I’ve also seen kayaks,” Kew added.

Out front, a full RV hook-up turns the 2018 Keystone Sprinter 26RB camper into a possible six-bed expansion to the house. Kew described the bundled assets as an “all-in-one” bonus for buyers unwilling to incur the extra time and expense to make over a possible second home.

Located five miles north of Dexter, Iowa, and seven from I-80, the house could also be used as a year-round primary residence, a common choice among other lakeside residents, and is equipped with two furnaces and two central air units for all-season comfort. Elementary, middle and high schools in the West Central Valley school district are situated less than five miles from the home.

Inside the double front doors, the open-plan tribute to log-pine style features wood beams and a gabled ceiling, a large kitchen with two islands, and a wood-burning fireplace.

The primary bedroom and an additional bedroom are found on the main floor, with two more bedrooms added to the lower level. The basement bathrooms have both been upgraded with walk-in showers and saunas.

The wide-open lower space includes a second fireplace and easy access to the lake, plus a second kitchen updated with appliances, living room seating, stools and a poker table. “You get the pool table, all of it,” Kew added.

Outdoor lounging can be savored on the covered upper level, or downstairs facing the edge of the lake.

Considering the type of buyer who might be interested in this type of property, Kew was doubtful the size was suitable for a single owner or couple.

“I think it's going to be someone that's looking for an escape. Three or four kids. Or maybe kids and grandkids. Live inside the city. Work a lot. Don't have time to drive to Clear Lake or Lake Panorama. And thinks ‘let’s buy this, the whole family can stay on Friday night, Saturday, and then I'm back to work,’” he said.

The home is listed at $1,115,000 by Chris Kew of RE/MAX Precision . Contact Kew at 515-230-0488 for more information and a private showing.

US tech giants fight Indian telcos' bid to regulate internet services, pay for network usage

Global technology giants are pushing back against attempts by India's telecom networks to bring internet services under stricter regulation, rejecting arguments that such measures are necessary to create a "level playing field" and address national security concerns. The Asia Internet Coalition (AIC), a powerful industry body that represents Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Netflix and Spotify, has forcefully argued against inclusion of the so-called over-the-top (OTT) services in the proposed regulatory framework (PDF) for telecom operators. In a submission to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), the AIC said there are fundamental differences in technology, operations and functionality between OTT services and traditional telecom operations.

Luxury superyacht sinks off Italy coast in freak storm. 6 people, including British tech magnate Mike Lynch, are still missing.

A luxury superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily early Monday morning after the boat was reportedly caught in the middle of an unexpected and violent storm. The 183-foot boat, named the Bayesian, is estimated to be worth around $18 million .

At least one person was killed during the incident, with six others still missing, the Italian coast guard reported. Fifteen people were rescued when the yacht sank around 5 a.m. local time (11 p.m. ET). American, British and Canadian citizens are among those who remain missing.

The storm that caused the yacht to sink was a freak occurrence, with Salvo Cocina, the head of Sicily’s civil protection agency, telling reporters those on board were “in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

What happened?

The Bayesian capsized while about half a mile off the coast of Porticello, a small fishing village. There were 22 people on board — 12 passengers and 10 crew members.

According to the BBC , a heavy storm hit the coast of Sicily and created waterspouts , which are tornadoes that form over water. The waterspout winds were so powerful that they broke the boat’s mast in half, causing the ship, which was anchored, to lose its balance and sink.

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

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

What to know about the Bayesian

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

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

The latest as of Monday afternoon

Six passengers remained missing on Monday afternoon, including tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, sometimes referred to as the “British Bill Gates.” Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter is also among those missing, while his wife, Angela Bacares, was one of the 15 people saved.

The City Council of Bagheria said in a statement that seven adults were taken to the emergency room following the rescue but “it seems that none are in serious conditions.”

The coast guard said that four patrol boats have been deployed along with a helicopter and a team of divers to complete the search and rescue mission. A specialized caving search and rescue team was also flown in from Rome.

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

Who is Mike Lynch?

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

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

'British Bill Gates' co-defendant in US trial died after being hit by car days before yacht sank

Tech tycoon mike lynch remains missing, while tributes for his co-defendant in his us fraud trial have been pouring in.

Olivia Burke

The co-defendant of missing British tech tycoon Mike Lynch in his US fraud trial has tragically died after being hit by a car.

Stephen Chamberlain, 52, was out running in Cambridgeshire on Saturday (17 August) morning when he was fatally struck by a vehicle , his lawyer said.

The businessman - who was the former vice-president of finance at Lynch's software firm Autonomy - was reportedly put on life support before he sadly succumbed to his injuries.

Just a few months ago, Chamberlain was stood alongside the tech magnate - who remains missing alongside five others after his super yacht sank off the coast of Sicily - in a US court facing the same charges.

He and Lynch were both facing up to two decades behind bars if they were convicted of numerous fraud charges linked to the sale of Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for $11billion (£8.64billion) back in 2011.

They were accused of scheming to inflate the company's value before it was sold, however, a jury in San Francisco acquitted the pair of all 15 charges in June this year.

Chamberlain went on to work at cybersecurity firm Darktrace as chief operating officer while volunteering as Cambridge United 's finance director after he left Autonomy in 2012.

A spokesperson for Darktrace described him as a 'substantial contributor' to the team, adding: "Steve was much loved by his colleagues and leaves many friends at Darktrace.

"We extend our deepest condolences to his wife and the rest of his family who are very much in our thoughts at this challenging time."

His heartbroken family have also paid tribute to Chamberlain in a statement released by Cambridgeshire Constabulary.

It said: "Steve was a much-loved husband , father , son, brother and friend. He was an amazing individual whose only goal in life was to help others in any way possible.

"He made a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him," it continued. "He will be deeply missed but forever in the hearts of his loved ones."

Chamberlain's lawyer, Gary Lincenberg, added: "He was a courageous man with unparalleled integrity, and we deeply miss him. He fought successfully to clear his good name, which lives on through his wonderful family."

The driver of the car, a 49-year-old woman from Haddenham, remained at the scene and police said she is assisting with enquiries into the incident.

Chamberlain's death has quite eerie timing, as it came just days before Lynch disappeared when a £14 million yacht sank in the Mediterranean in the early hours of Monday (19 August) morning following a nasty storm on the coast of Sicily.

A waterspout tornado struck the boat while it was anchored at port with 22 guests and crew on board.

It was capsized in a matter of minutes, but 15 people - including a child - were rescued by emergency services.

Those who helped in the frantic rescue efforts have now spoken out about the chaos that unfolded off the coast , with one eyewitness recalling how the super yacht 'went flat on the water and then down'.

However, the hunt continues for Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, who are among the six people that are still missing after the incident on Monday.

Reports claim that Jonathan Bloomer, the chairman of Morgan Stanley International Bank chairman and Clifford Chance lawyer, Chris Morvillo, were also onboard when the boat sank.

One body was already recovered from the water yesterday.

While examining the submerged wreck of the 55-metre long superyacht, divers today claimed that they had seen bodies in the sailboat, according to local media outlet, Corriere Della Sera.

Family of Mike Lynch’s co-defendant who died after being hit by car speak out

Share this with

The family of missing tech tycoon Mike Lynch’s co-defendant have paid tribute after he died in a car crash.

Stephen Chamberlain, the former vice president of finance at Lynch’s software company Autonomy, was involved in a fatal car crash on Saturday.

‘He was an amazing individual whose only goal in life was to help others in any way possible,’ Chamberlain’s family said today.

Lynch was acquitted of fraud in June, with Chamberlain having faced similar charges.

The luxury yacht Bayesian was hit by a sudden tornado off the coast of Porticello fishing village causing it to sink. One person, the sailboat’s chef, was found dead, while six people remain missing .

Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of Morgan Stanley International, and his wife are reportedly among the missing along with Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah.

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.’

Mike Lynch’s co-defendant was a ‘strong supporter of local football’

A football team Stephen Chamberlain volunteered at has paid tribute.

‘Everyone at Cambridge United is saddened to hear of the death of Steve Chamberlain,’ the club said in a statement on its website.

‘Steve was the unpaid Finance Director at the Club from 2016 to 2018 and also a strong supporter of local football in Cambridgeshire. Our thoughts and condolences go to all his family and friends at this difficult time.’

Chamberlain, a co-defendant of missing Mike Lynch, died on Monday following a car accident in Stretham, Cambridgeshire, on Saturday morning.

‘Tornado’ and ‘fierce’ winds seen on morning of sinking

The Italian Air Force’s Center for Aerospace Meteorology and Climatology previously said that Porticello, about 12 miles east of the Sicilian capital, Palermo, was being battered by a storm on Monday.

The agency had registered intense lighting nativity and strong winds in the area while the Bayesian was anchored about a half-mile off Porticello.

Local fisherman Giuseppe Cefalu said he saw a ‘tornado’ in the area – and a flare shot up into the sky at 5am.

But by the time he arrived at the site, all he could see was cushions and a bouy.

The weather conditions were ‘fierce’, he told the PA news agency, with ‘very strong’ wind pummelling Porticello.

Rescuers have ‘checked the hull’ of the yacht with goal to get inside

‘We have checked the hull from the outside, visibility is good, now our goal is to penetrate inside the vessel.’

This is what Marco Tilotta, one of the firefighter divers in the search for the missing six Bayesian passengers, told Sicilian newspaper Giornale De Sicilia .

A boat from Vigili del Fuoco – the Italian fire service – was seen leaving the port of Porticello, near Palermo, at around 11.30am.

Fire officials say getting into the flipped-over yacht is ‘complex’, with experts planning how to ‘open’ the Bayesia.

Morgan Stanley pays tribute to Jonathan Bloomer

Morgan Stanley, one of Wall Street’s most prestigious banks, has paid tribute to Jonathan Bloomer.

Bloomer is the chairman of Morgan Stanley International

‘We are deeply shocked and saddened by this tragedy,’ the bank’s spokesperson said. ‘Our thoughts are with all those affected, in particular the Bloomer family, as we all wait for further news from this terrible situation.’

What is a waterspout?

Waterspouts are whirling columns of air and water mist. Think of them like a water tornado. Or, as Dr Jian-Guo Li, a senior modelling scientist at the Met Office puts it, ‘an atmospheric tornado happened over a water surface’.

Waterspouts form when cold air moves over warmer water, sucking up moisture like a vacuum cleaner.

‘You may have seen many American tornado reports, which showed how cars and house roofs are sucked into the air and scattered around like toys,’ Jian-Guo told Metro.co.uk .

‘When it forms over a water surface, it pumps the water into the air, resulting in the waterspouts. When a boat or yacht happened to be in its centre, it could be lifted and dropped aside.’

Waterspouts start off as funnel clouds, according to the Met Office , a rather literal name for clouds that look like spinning fingers. Funnel clouds are typically a sign of bad weather like rain, hail and thunder are on the horizon.

These spinning clouds don’t touch the earth’s surface. If they reach a body of water, however, they become a waterspout. If it makes landfall, it becomes a tornado.

That means there are two types of waterspouts. Torandic ones start off on land before moving out onto the water, and fair weather, which are more common and form over open water.

Waterspouts can be thousands of feet tall and whip winds of 50mph but only last about 10 minutes or so, though there are often more than one.

Who was on board Mike Lynch’s luxury Bayesian yacht?

Six tourists are missing after a luxury yacht sank after being hit by a  tornado  off the coast of Sicily.

The yacht, named Bayesian, was carrying 10 crew members and 12 passengers when it capsized early Monday morning.

Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of Morgan Stanley International, and his wife are reportedly among the missing along with businessman  Mike Lynch  and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah.

Yacht captain breaks silence with just five-word sentence

‘We didn’t see it coming.’

This is all James Catfield, who was behind the wheel of the Bayesian luxury yacht at the time of the accident, ‘managed’ to tell La Repubblica .

The newspaper says the captain is in hospital in Termini Imerese, on the north coast of the island. He wept during the interview and was wearing a bandage on his calf.

Catfield is one of four people rescued and taken to the hospital following the capsizing.

Search for yacht is ‘very complicated’

The search for the Bayesian yacht which sank off the coast of Palermo yesterday has been described as ‘very complicated’ by expert divers.

Marco Tilotta, an inspector of the Palermo fire brigade’s diving unit, was among the first to intervene in Porticello.

He told Italian newspaper Il Messaggero : ‘When we went under the water, around 5:30 in the morning, we found a yacht that was practically intact. It looked like a scenario similar to the Costa Concordia, on a smaller scale. Unfortunately, these are very complicated searches.’

Expanding further, he told the Guardian: ‘The greatest challenge is the depth, which does not allow for immediate interventions. You have to consider that when we go underwater, we have 3 minutes to descend and 8 minutes to work on the wreck. Then we have to begin the ascent phase.

‘There is also the problem of accessing the vessel with all the belongings inside and the fact that the boat is positioned at 90 degrees.

‘We have not yet entered the boat. We plan to do so soon and inspect every inch of the vessel.’

Co-defendant of Mike Lynch fraud case was a ‘much-loved’ man, says family

The family of Stephen Chamberlain, the co-defendant in the US trial of missing tech tycoon Mike Lynch, have described him as a ‘much-loved husband, father, son, brother and friend’ in a tribute following his death after being hit by a car in Stretham.

Chamberlain, 52, died while out running in Cambridgeshire on Saturday, according to his lawyers.

In a statement released through Cambridgeshire Police, the family said: ‘Steve was a much-loved husband, father, son, brother and friend.

‘He was an amazing individual whose only goal in life was to help others in any way possible.

‘He made a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

‘He will be deeply missed but forever in the hearts of his loved ones.’

Bank boss and wife among the missing

Aki Hussain, the boss of Hiscox, a major insurance provider in Britain, has confirmed the company’s non-executive chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judy Bloomer are among those missing.

He said in a statement: ‘We are deeply shocked and saddened by this tragic event.

‘Our thoughts are with all those affected, in particular our chair, Jonathan Bloomer, and his wife Judy, who are among the missing, and with their family as they await further news from this terrible situation.’

Divers back in the waters as rescue begins second day

Rescue personnel were back in the ocean this morning as a search for six people missing since their yacht capsized entered its second day.

The British-flagged Bayesian, which had 22 people aboard including 10 crew, was anchored a half-mile off Porticello, about 12 miles east of the Sicilian capital, Palermo, in the early hours of Monday.

But the yacht was struck by a violent storm. As ‘brief’ was it was, Italian Air Force’s Center for Aerospace Meteorology and Climatology said, it was ‘intense’ and may have involved a waterspout, a small water tornado.

Fifteen people were rescued, though six remain unaccounted for. One is dead.

Three teams are in the water today, Italian news agency Ansa reported. Two from the coast guard and one from the fire brigade.

Mike Lynch’s ‘victory’ celebration on yacht after acquittal

The British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch was reportedly celebrating his acquittal in a US fraud trial relating to the £8.64 billion sale of his firm to computer giant HP when the disaster struck.

The trip on the luxury yacht Bayesian in the Mediterranean was supposed to be a celebration, MailOnline reports citing the father of Ayla Roland, a member of Lynch’s legal team.

Another guest on the yacht told doctors at the hospital that the trip was part of a ‘corporate holiday.’

Morgan Stanley boss among missing in Bayesian disaster

Jonathan Bloomer, the International chairman of Morgan Stanley, and his wife are reportedly among the missing after Mike Lynch’s Bayesian luxury yacht sank suddenly.

Bloomer and his wife are believed to be among those unaccounted for, Italian authorities said, along with British businessman  Mike Lynch  and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah.

Christopher Morvillo, a lawyer at Clifford and Chance, and his wife are believed to be among the six missing people, according to the Italian Civil Protection agency.

MarineTraffic data shows route of yacht before sinking

MarineTraffic data shows the route of the superyacht, just days before being hit by a tornado off the coast of Sicily.

According to the website, ‘Bayesian’ was last anchored off the island of Panarea, leaving the area on just after 3pm on Thursday.

It then passed through the Aeolian Islands, and on Sunday, it reportedly underwent turbulence near Cefalù.

The tragedy occurred this morning, while on its way to Palermo, with the boat sending its very last signal at 2.06am.

Pictures from 2021 show a bird’s-eye view from the top of the superyacht’s 75-metre mast.

Laurene powell jobs’ $120m super-yacht in minor crash with boat owned by mexican billionaire.

Talk about yacht rock!

Billionaire Laurene Powell Jobs ’ super-yacht, the Venus , was in a minor crash with another mega-vessel, the Lady Moura, owned by Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego , we hear.

The accident between the big ol’ boats — both reportedly worth upwards of $120 million each — happened on July 22nd in Italy.

A source familiar with the situation told Page Six that both yachts were actually anchored when the incident occurred.

Said our seaworthy source: “The Venus came into contact with the Lady Moura — which was also anchored,” adding that on Jobs’ boat, “No family was on board, only crew.”

The insider said the accident happened when, “The wind changed very suddenly, picking up from a breeze to 55 knots over the course of a few minutes.”

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Katia Damborsky (@theyachtwriter)

The source said, “Neither boat ‘dragged anchor,’” but alleged that the Lady Moura was, “on a chain double the length [to be] expected in the depth of water they were in… Both captains were in discussion immediately following the incident about minor repairs needed.”

According to the site Boat International, Pliego’s side recorded the incident, and there’s video of the nautical fender-bender on Instagram.

The outlet reported that the billionaire could be heard saying in Spanish, “I would like to know what the captain and crew were doing that they didn’t see a yacht the size of mine in front of me. Good thing nothing but a scratch happened, but it’s a big scratch that’s going to [cost] a lot to fix.”

The 256-foot Venus was custom created for Steve Jobs, and designed by Philippe Starck. But the late Apple founder never got a chance to use the boat before his 2011 death and it went to his widow.

At 344 feet, the Lady Moura was previously owned by a Saudi businessman and cost $200 million before it was reportedly bought for $125 million by Pliego, the third richest person in Mexico.

Inside jeff bezos and lauren sanchez’s hot yacht summer with kim kardashian, leo & more.

If Jeff Bezos’ and Lauren Sánchez’ hot yacht summer were a movie, it would be a mashup of “Three Coins in the Fountain,” “Eat Pray Love” and “The Perfect Storm” — and the season’s not over yet.

The 60-year-old billionaire and his fiancée, 54, are sailing the Mediterranean again this summer on Bezos’ $485 million yacht Koru , which features a sultry figurehead on the prow that looks an awful lot like Sánchez.

They’ve cruised to Greece, Italy and Spain, with a pit stop Wednesday on the secluded island of Menorca in the Balearics, where they took refuge — along with some other expensive yachts — from a low-pressure storm called Dana.

Bezos and Sánchez have been accompanied on the 417-ft Koru by their support yacht, Abeona , which holds their water toys and a fleet of A-list guests who have included Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio and his 25-year-old Italian supermodel girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, and others.

“They’re the flavor of the month in the Med,” said a longtime entertainment exec just back from a month in the South of France.

“For a while it was the Russians, and way back in the day it was Ari [Onassis] and Maria [Callas] on the [yacht] Christina. But the Russians like Roman Abramovich are pretty much gone now. There’s always a new wave,” the exec said. “[Sánchez] seems tacky but I’ve heard she’s very nice and Bezos adores her. Is she ever going to look like Babe Paley? Not in this lifetime.”

The exec also pointed out that the Koru is more than 100 feet longer than Barry Diller’s yacht, which measures just over 300 feet — but not as big as David Geffen’s 453-foot vessel — saying billionaires often have “aquatic penis envy.”

The world’s second-richest couple channeled their inner Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in Rome on Tuesday when they shared a passionate kiss in front of the famed Trevi Fountain, seemingly oblivious to the hordes of tourists.

Bezos, in a fitted golf shirt, navy pants and boating shoes, and Sánchez, in a red halter minidress and peep-toe heels, also joined the crowd in the time-honored tradition of tossing money into the fountain with their right hands.

Oh, to know what they wished for.

Later they held hands and walked down cobblestone streets to their dinner destination, Pierluigi, where photographers snapped them dining on white wine, salad and bread at a table containing a singular red rose.

The couple took a bit of a solemn detour on land on Thursday when they swung by the Vatican for a visit with 87-year-old Pope Francis.

“He reminded us not to take life too seriously, a simple yet powerful reminder to keep lightness in our hearts,” Sanchez wrote on social media.

Bezos and Sánchez began their summer in June island-hopping in Greece with a rare appearance by Bezos’ 19-year-old son Preston, who Bezos shares with his ex-wife Mackenzie Scott.

Kim Kardashian then joined them, zipping around the Med on jetskis . At one point Kardashian and an unidentified blonde rode her jetski as they took selfies.

The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum has been tight with Sánchez and Bezos for a couple of years,  going on a double date  in 2022 and  attending a Beyoncé concert  in 2023.

In September 2023, the trio  had dinner together in New York City , joined by Nicky Hilton.

The “Kardashians” star made it clear that Sánchez is  part of her inner circle  when she celebrated her birthday in a Season 5 episode.

Meanwhile, Bezos and Sánchez were also spotted on their own in Greece on the island of Hydra, walking hand-in-hand on the seafront. They popped up next on Mykonos and from there it was on to Pserimos, famed for its beaches.

July saw them jet to Sun Valley, Idaho, for the town’s namesake financial conference attended by billionaires.

Last weekend, the pair pulled up on the island of Sardinia with Perry, Bloom, DiCaprio and Ceretti. The celebs came to shore on one of Bezos’ smaller boats for lunch at a high-end beach resort before heading back to Koru.

Bloom and Perry — who started  their own month-long vacation in France  — also vacationed with Bezos and Sánchez  around this time last year. In August 2023, the foursome was spotted walking around Dubrovnik, Croatia, with Usher.

DiCaprio and Bezos have  been “really close friends” for years,  with a source previously telling Page Six they often vacation together and find “common ground in the  fight against climate change  and their work in environmental activism.”

Koru ranks as the planet’s thirty-second largest yacht and costs about $25 million to operate annually. The vessel can accommodate 18 guests and requires a crew of 40 sailors to manage its amenities.

Its three huge, 229-foot masts power it to 20 knots. It’s also the biggest billionaire’s yacht which can move under sail power alone.

Bezos and Sánchez recently relocated from Seattle to Indian Creek Island in Miami, where Bezos bought three mansions for about $237 million — surely a nice home if you’ve got to be on land.
