Captain of superyacht sinks

News summary

The superyacht Bayesian sank off the coast of Sicily on August 19, 2024, during a violent storm caused by a waterspout, leading to the tragic loss of at least six people, including British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his daughter, Hannah. Survivors reported that the yacht, which sank in under a minute, had its doors open, possibly contributing to its rapid descent.

The yacht's captain, James Cutfield, is recovering in the hospital and has stated that the storm was unexpected.

The yacht remains largely intact on the seabed, resting at a depth of approximately 50 meters, as the search for those unaccounted for continues.
