‘Air’ Superyacht: Real-Life Willy Wonka Splashes Candy Fortune On $181m Yacht

Image: Charter World

Augusto Perfetti, also known as the real-life Willy Wonka, has been making headlines recently for his extravagant taste in luxury superyahcts, splurging on a 265ft vessel that makes the chocolate factory look like a 7-Eleven.

From David Beckham and Rafa Nadal’s sailable nightclub for the Monaco Grand Prix to an Austrian submarine-cum-superyacht that wouldn’t look out of place in the next era of Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s James Bond movies , we’ve covered superyachts extensively here on DMARGE.

So it may come as a surprise that, well, we were surprised by this latest scoop from the real-life Willy Wonka, who just splashed the cash on a $120 million USD (~$181 million AUD) superyacht that reaches a formidable height of 81 metres.

Augusto Perfetti and his brother Giorgio Perfetti are in the candy business, and since launching the Italian candy producer Perfetti Van Melle, one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of confectionery and chewing gum in the world, the Italian business tycoons have become two of the richest men in Italy.

Augusto Perfetti is the real-life Willy Wonka, worth a cool $2.8 billion USD (~$4.2 billion AUD) according to Forbes , and has garnered an otherworldly fortune through our enduring bad habits, gladly investing a relatively small chunk of his fortune into Air, a sea-faring hotel built by Feadship.

WATCH Take a look at Augusto Perfetti’s $181m superyacht below.

Whilst Perfetti’s newest addition to the fleet doesn’t contain little orange men and a chocolate fountain for children to drown in, it does boast accommodation for up to 12 guests and 21 crew, complete with a helipad and on-deck swimming pool. It also has a cutting-edge dive centre for PADI-certified divers to explore whichever patch of reef the superyacht discovers.

Built by the renowned Dutch shipyard Feadship, Perfetti’s superyacht is a modern marvel; the pinnacle of marine engineering and luxury. Beyond the obvious aesthetics, Air is equipped with advanced navigation and stabilisation systems, ensuring smooth sailing even in rough seas, whilst the interior, designed by Remi Tessier, is a blend of contemporary elegance delivering Perfetti and his guests ultimate comfort.

Not bad for slinging some Italian chocolate bars.

Another of these yachts is the PARSIFAL II, a charter yacht that can readily welcome up to 10 guests at a time and can be attended to by six qualified crew members.

Augusto Perfetti

Lugano, Switzerland

Confectionery

If you enjoy Mentos, Airheads, or Chupa Chups, thank the Perfettis. Augusto Perfetti’s fortune comes partly from the Italian confectionary enterprise that produces these treats, Perfetti Van Melle. The company is the world’s third largest confectionery manufacturer, employing over 17,000 employees in over 38 countries worldwide. In 2017, Forbes reported that the company, which is now owned by Augusto and his brother Giorgio, had over $2.8 billion revenue in 2017. Art is inscribed into the family’s business—Chupa Chups lollipops, which are among the confectionary’s most popular offerings, have a logo designed by the Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí. 

The Perfetti candy dynasty can trace its roots back to Izaak Van Melle. In 1900 Melle started a small confectionary business in Breskens, the Netherlands. He converted the family bakery founded 60 years earlier by his grandfather into what would become a business that would grow to become one of the preeminent enterprises in its industry. Just over a hundred years later, Perfetti Van Melle was established when Perfetti Spa acquired Van Melle. But Augusto lives quite a life beyond his business, and he also owns a storied $120 million yacht that the New York Times has reported can be seen docked in St. Moritz, Switzerland, a destination for the art-world elite. One of his yachts, a 90-meter behemoth dubbed Air , made headlines after its sale to Russian oligarch, Suleyman Kerimov, who promptly renamed it Ice . What Perfetti collects is less well-known, though—a fact that can be attributed to his frequent mentions of a shyness when speaking in interviews and a preference for privacy. Nevertheless, he has established himself among the art world’s upper-most rungs.

A massive superyacht belonging to an Italian billionaire was spotted mooring in Cobh harbour over the weekend, a yacht on which guests are charged a small fee of $1 million per week to take a ride.

The owner, Augusto Perfetti, is worth $3 billion through his business exploits with the Perfetty Van Melle sweet company, which manufactures classic treats like Chupa Chups, Trident and Mentos.

The yacht, named Air, is a charter boat which can be rented by wealthy holidaymakers who have $992,000 lying around, Cork Beo reports.

The yacht houses 12 guests in seven cabins, with up to 22 crew members onboard at any one time to keep things running smoothly. The Air is equipped with jet skis, scuba diving equipment, a gym, a cinema, a helipad and even a swimming pool.

Some have speculated that Perfetti - said to be a golf fanatic - uses the boat's onboard helicopter to take trips to his favourite golf courses around Cork and Kerry. As well as jet skis and scuba equipment, you'd hope that Perfetti would also stretch to providing a bowl of complimentary lollipops and mints.

The Air is named after Airheads taffy, one of his company's best-selling brands, while his private jet takes its registration ID 'M-NTOS' from the Mentos mints. While Perfetti makes use of a yacht and a plane, his brother and business partner Giorgio, 57, is said to own one of the world's most-coveted Ferrari collections.

Perfetti commissioned the construction of the Air in 2011 - after selling a near-identical vessel named Ice to Russian oligarch Suleyman Kerimov in 2005. Kerimov sold the Ice on for a whopping $150 million ten years later.

Kerimov, whose own fortune stood at $11 billion in 2022, has been subject to US sanctions since the Russian invasion of Ukraine due to his close ties with Putin's government. Data from MarineTraffic.com says that the Air arrived in Irish waters on Sunday after setting off from Gibraltar on Sunday, 2 June.

Perfetti's superyacht is not the first vessel of its kind to take a spin to the Rebel County. Last year, the €80 million Scout visited Kinsale. The Scout is owned by billionaire James Berwind, who has a backstory like something out of hit TV series Succession.

The seven victims who died after a superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily have been formally identified.

At a press conference on Saturday, Aug. 24, Termini Imerese prosecutor, Ambrogio Cartosio, shared more information on the tragedy and named the bodies that had been recovered. That included chef Recaldo Thomas and the six other victims recovered in the days after the yacht sank on Aug. 19. He also confirmed that the final body recovered on Friday, Aug. 23 was that of  Hannah Lynch , daughter of the British tech entrepreneur,  Mike Lynch .

"On the 22nd [of August] we recovered the body of Michael Lynch, and on the 23rd we recovered the body of his 18-year-old daughter. Michael Lynch's daughter is a young girl, who really affected everybody. It’s a very serious tragedy," Cartosio said.

He also said that on Aug, 22, authorities recovered the bodies of prominent New York City attorney Christopher Morvillo and his wife, Neda , and Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy .

Family Handout/PA Wire

Girolamo Bentivoglio Fiandra, head of the Palermo Fire Bridgade, spoke at the press conference and shared details of the final moments of some of the victims and where they were recovered.

“It was quite clear that people were trying to hide in the cabins. In the left-hand side we found the first 5 bodies in the left-hand side cabins, and the final body on the right-hand side. We found them on the highest part of the ship which was closer to the surface. The vessel had three cabins on each side.”

He also said that the five who "took refuge in the cabins on the left side of the sailboat," had been "searching for air pockets."

Lynch, 59, was acquitted of fraud and conspiracy charges just two months before he went missing. Morvillo, also 59, worked on the case, and Bloomer, 70, was a close friend to Lynch.

A source close to the survivors tells PEOPLE passengers on the yacht were celebrating Lynch’s recent acquittal when the storm hit.

Morvillo had previously worked as a federal prosecutor and "assisted in the criminal investigation arising out of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks," among other trials, according to his biography on the Clifford Chance website. His wife was said to be a fine jewelry designer.

"We are in shock and deeply saddened by this tragic incident," a spokesperson for the lawfirm says in a statement to PEOPLE.

"Our thoughts are with our Partner, Christopher Morvillo, and his wife Neda who are among the missing, and with their families," the spokesperson adds.

The Italian coast guard previously said 22 people were on the Bayesian , including 12 passengers and 10 crew, when the ship sank. Fifteen people were rescued, including Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares.

Eight people were reportedly taken to local hospitals after they were rescued.

Local news reports stated the body of a chef , Thomas, was found near the boat shortly after the storm subsided.

'She Loved Life': UK Billionaire's Daughter Dies In Sicily Yacht Wreck

Hannah Lynch's friends had nothing but kind words for their friend.

British business tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah Lynch were killed after their luxury yacht Bayesian sank during a storm off the coast of Sicily on Monday. On Friday, search divers recovered the seventh and final body from the sunken superyacht, reported The Washington Post .

Cosimo Nicastro, a spokesman for the Italian Coast Guard, confirmed the identity of the victim as Hannah. “I can confirm it to you, the last victim inside the hull has been found,” he said. Mike's trial lawyer Christopher Morvillo, his trial witness Jonathan Bloomer, and three others were also killed in the tragedy. 

Hannah Lynch's sister, Esme said that Hannah often burst into my bedroom and lay down with me, adding no matter what, she brought boundless love. "She was endlessly caring, passionately mad, unintentionally hilarious and the most amazing, supportive, and joyful sister and best friend to me," she said.

She had even more love to give endlessly to all her friends and passion to give to her incredible studies and goals, Esme told The Guardian. "She is my little angel, my star."

On behalf of the Lynch family, a spokesperson said they were devastated, in shock, and were being comforted and supported by family and friends. "Their thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragedy. They would like to sincerely thank the Italian coastguard, emergency services and all those who helped in the rescue. Their one request now is that their privacy be respected at this time of unspeakable grief," the statement added.

Jon Mitropoulos-Monk, Hannah Lynch's English professor at Latymer Upper School in West London was all praises for his student. He said he taught Hannah for four years and would remember her for what she taught him "kindness, compassion, and commitment".

She said she had never taught someone who "combined sky-high intellectual ability with warmth and enthusiasm" like Hannah did. She lit up the classroom with her energy, passion for learning, the teacher said about the 18-year-old. 

Calling the 18-year-old “one of the best English students in the country”, she told the English daily, “By age 16, she'd read Joyce, Faulkner and Nabokov … She loved literature, learning and life. She was so excited to start studying English at Oxford, a goal she had worked so hard towards."

When she got her place, she sought out every single member of the Latymer upper English department to thank them individually and give them a hug, the teacher added.

Hannah Lynch's friends had nothing but kind words for their friend. The love Hannah had for everything she held dear was passionate and pure, said Katya Lewis, adding her friend had a warm and beautiful soul.

"When I think of Hannah, I think of poetry, sunshine and her beautiful eyes," said Hannah's classmate, Gracie Lea. "She was easy to love: sincere, dedicated, fiercely intelligent and genuinely kind. I'll always remember her smiling."

Not long after the Bayesian sank, fifteen people, including Angela Bacares, Hannah Lynch's mother, were saved. During the preliminary search, Recaldo Thomas, the yacht pilot, was found dead.

PASSENGERS on board the doomed Bayesian superyacht frantically scrambled for the last air pockets as the boat sank.

British tech mogul Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah were among six people recovered after the luxury vessel sank near Porticello at about 5am local time on Monday.

The body of Canadian-Antiguan national Recaldo Thomas, who was working as a chef on the superyacht, was recovered at the scene on Monday.

Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy Bloomer, Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda Morvillo were also recovered from the wreckage.

Prosecutors have since opened a manslaughter and shipwreck inquiry without naming any suspects.

On Saturday, they pieced together the horrifying final minutes on board the sinking £30million vessel.

The head of the Palermo fire department and member of the divers' rescue squad, Bentivoglio Fiandra, described how the Bayesian sank stern-first before rolling onto its right side.

A rescue boat with divers on board in Porticello Harbour on Friday morning

He explained: "As a result, the victims sought refuge on the left side of the boat, where the last air pockets remained as the vessel was sinking."

In the first cabin on the left, the divers discovered five bodies; in the third chamber on the left, they discovered Hannah's.

The fact that everything was on its side in the boat required the divers to "recalibrate," Mr Fiandra said.

Rescuers also had to get used to debris floating around and mirrors reflecting their torch lights back at them.

He explained: "We had to revise the scene from a different angle from the way we'd normally see it, and that made everything more difficult.

"We entered the confined spaces, having already performed evaluations on the safe point to enter inside the yacht.

"We found the safest spot and got inside from there.

"But inside it was a very confusing place, with wardrobes and furniture whirling all around us, and lots of mirrors reflecting back our lights at us.

"The bodies were all wedged in tight spots, with furniture on top or beside them. They were all stuck there."

Giuseppe Frison, Head of the Department of the Fire Fighters' Divers, leading the cave divers, told the Daily Mail :

"It was like visiting someone's house turned at 90 degrees, with everything on its side.

"Since everything was revolving around us, we had to proceed slowly, first securing floating items for safety.

"We operated methodically, whether the spaces were large or small, searching everywhere until we found what we were looking for."

He added: "We were in a room full of debris, with a mixture of wooden furniture and other objects, but there was this new factor, as the space was full of mirrors, making it very disorientating, as you enter with the light on our heads, you seem to see yourself coming toward the boat, so it was very confusing."

YACHT PROBE

It comes as the captain and crew of sunk superyacht Bayesian are facing a manslaughter and homicide probe after seven on board died including Brit tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his daughter.

Chief Prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio said the victims would have been asleep when the freak weather struck at around 5am local time on Monday last week, leaving them unable to escape.

It was also revealed that the crew and captain were not tested for alcohol or drug use after the sinking and have no legal requirement to stay in  Sicily .

At the Termini Imerese Courthouse in Palermo, Mr Cartosio said there may have been “behaviours that were not perfectly in order with regard to the responsibility everybody had”.

He added: “There could be in fact the question of homicide. But this is the beginning of the inquiry, we cannot exclude anything at all.”

Mr Cartosio added one line of inquiry was whether the crew attempted to raise the alarm with passengers before getting on the lifeboat and escaping.

He vowed to “discover how much they (the crew) knew and to what extent all the people (passengers) were warned.”

The prosecutor added that  Captain James Cutfield  had been “extremely cooperative” during questioning and will be quizzed further.

Everything We Know About the Final Moments of the Passengers Who Died in the Sicily Yacht Tragedy

Five of the seven victims had been "searching for air pockets" as the luxury yacht sank on Aug. 19, authorities said

PERINI NAVI PRESS OFFICE/HANDOUT/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock

The luxury yacht Bayesian that sank off the coast of Sicily on Monday, Aug. 19, resulted in the deaths of six passengers and one crew member.

Less than a week later, on Saturday, Aug. 24, Ambrogio Cartosio, the Chief Prosecutor of Termini Imerese, announced that Italian authorities were launching a manslaughter investigation into the sinking , and he identified all of the victims.

The seven victims who died in the tragic sinking were yacht chef Recaldo Thomas; British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his daughter, Hannah Lynch; Christopher Morvillo and his wife, Neda ; and Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy .

As authorities attempt to answer questions about what exactly led to the sinking of the 183-foot British-flagged vessel — which went down during a "violent storm,” the Italian Coast Guard previously told PEOPLE in a statement — here is what we currently know about the victims’ final moments.

FAMILY HANDOUT/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock

During the Aug. 24 press conference, Girolamo Bentivoglio Fiandra, head of the Palermo Fire Brigade, revealed that as the Bayesian began going down early Monday morning, “It was quite clear that people were trying to hide in the cabins.”

“In the left-hand side, we found the first 5 bodies in the left-hand side cabins, and the final body on the right-hand side,” Fiandra said. “We found them on the highest part of the ship, which was closer to the surface. The vessel had three cabins on each side.”

The five victims, who "took refuge” on the luxury yacht’s left side, had been "searching for air pockets" in a final attempt at survival," he added.

As for why the victims were in the cabins in the first place, Giovanni Costantino — who leads The Italian Sea Group, the company that now owns Perini Navi, which built the Bayesian back in 2008 — told CNN it was due to a “very long sum of errors."

"Everything that has been done reveals a very long sum of errors,” he said in his interview, translated from Italian. “The people should not have been in the cabins, the boat should not have been at anchor. And then why didn't the crew know about the incoming disturbance?”

Prior to the storm and subsequent sinking, some of the luxury yacht’s passengers were in celebration mode. They had been commemorating the recent acquittal of one of the victims, Lynch, 59, a source close to the survivors previously told PEOPLE.

Two months ago, Lynch was acquitted on all counts of a series of fraud and conspiracy charges he faced in the U.S. after a years-long legal battle dating back to 2018.

He celebrated the acquittal on the Bayesian with his daughter and his wife, Angela Bacare, who was rescued along with 14 others on board.

Also celebrating were Morvillo, 59, who represented Lynch in the case, and Bloomer, 70, who was a close friend of the tech entrepreneur.

The fallout after Bolt’s aggressive fundraising attempt has been wild

This past week was a wild one in the world of fintech as Bolt surprised the industry with a leaked term sheet that revealed it is trying to raise $200 million in equity and an unusual, additional $250 million in “marketing credits.” As part of this deal, Bolt wanted a $14 billion valuation bolstered by an aggressive pay-to-play type cramdown that would try and force its existing investors to cough up more cash, too, or essentially lose their stakes to a 1 cent per share buyout. Brad Pamnani, an investor who is spearheading the proposed $200 million equity investment deal, told TechCrunch on Thursday that shareholders have until the end of next week to indicate whether or not they plan to write checks into the new funding round.

Family clings to hope of air pocket in sunken superyacht as debris hampers search

PORTICELLO, Sicily — Divers searching for six missing people from a superyacht which sank off the coast of Sicily told NBC News Wednesday that debris inside the vessel, as well as its depth, were making their job difficult.  

As hopes of finding anyone alive dwindled, the divers said that they had managed to force open one of the Bayesian’s access doors but access to the cabins where people could be trapped was being hampered by detritus. 

The divers, who were not authorized to speak publicly, added that the depth of the wreck meant they were left with only 10 minutes to search the 184-foot yacht once they reached it. Then they had to return to the surface, they said. 

On Wednesday, the dock where they set off from was swarming with vehicles, boats and rescuers. Nearby tourists, reporters and photographers have gathered, eager for news. Helicopters occasionally fly over the area.  

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

The Bayesian, which had 22 people aboard including 10 crew, was anchored some 700 metres from port before dawn when it was struck by a waterspout, a sort of mini tornado.

Lynch's 18-year-old daughter, Hannah; Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy; and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife, Neda, are also missing. 

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

Rescuers said Tuesday that there might be people trapped inside the cabins, especially considering the timing of the storm, but that they had so far been unable to check through the ship’s portholes.

“The operations are long and complex,” Italy’s national fire department, whose diving teams have been participating in the search, said on X . 

Italy's coast guard also said Tuesday that divers were also using a remotely-operated underwater vehicle to aid in the search.

Sailboat sinks off Sicily

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 near Sicily’s main city of Palermo in what Italian officials called a “violent storm.” 

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.  

Lynch, who was regularly described in U.K. media as “Britain’s Bill Gates,” 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.

The Bayesian, which had 22 people aboard including 10 crew, was anchored some 700 metres from port before dawn when it was struck by a waterspout, a sort of mini tornado.

Prosecutors alleged that Lynch 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 .

The Mediterranean sailing vacation was designed to be a celebration for Lynch, who brought Morvillo, one of his U.S. lawyers and Bloomer, who testified in his defense, on the trip.

Bloomer’s twin brother, Jeremy, told the BBC on Tuesday the family was “coping the best we can” and he was hopeful there might still be air pockets inside the hull. 

Chamberlain was not aboard 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.

Nick Sloane, the engineer who masterminded the refloating of the Costa Concordia in 2014, said that billionaire Mike Lynch and the five other missing people aboard the Bayesian may still be alive if there is an air pocket in the hull. The 184-foot superyacht capsized on Monday morning off the coast of Sicily after it “was hit by a very strong wind,” according to one of the survivors, a person only identified as Charlotte by the Italian media agency ANSA. Sloane told Sky News that his contention is, that the speed the Bayesian sunk and the fact that is intact could “could favor the formation of small air pockets inside.” He described his guess as “highly speculative” and “impossible to predict” but there is precedent for finding survivors in air pockets. “If the yacht is on its side, it might have more air pockets than if it’s upright. She’s got quite a large keel, and that will deflect and put her on her side, I’m sure,” Sloane added. One unidentified male, whom authorities believe may be Canadian-Antiguan chef Recaldo Thomas, was recovered on Tuesday, according to the BBC . There were 22 people aboard the Bayesian when it sunk.

Ex-sheriff’s deputy charged in fatal shooting of Florida airman

air yacht perfetti

CRESTVIEW, Fla. — A Florida Panhandle sheriff’s deputy is facing a charge of manslaughter with a firearm in connection with the fatal shooting of an airman who opened his apartment door while holding a gun.

Former Okaloosa County deputy Eddie Duran was charged Friday in the May 3 shooting death of Senior Airman Roger Fortson , Assistant State Attorney Greg Marcille said Friday. That is a first-degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in prison.

Marcille said a warrant has been issued for Duran’s arrest but he was not in custody as of early Friday afternoon. Fortson, 23, was Black.

Hundreds pack funeral for slain airman Roger Fortson

“as you can see from the sea of air force blue, i am not alone in my admiration of senior airman fortson,” col. patrick dierig told mourners friday..

“I think this is the best that we could have hoped for in this particular case,” said Sabu Williams, president of the local branch of the NAACP.

“I believe that the charge is appropriate,” Williams told The Associated Press. “I think manslaughter was right on point.”

Authorities say Duran had been directed to Fortson’s Fort Walton Beach apartment in response to a domestic disturbance report that turned out to be false.

After repeated knocking, Fortson opened the door while holding his handgun at his side, pointed down. Authorities say that Duran shot him multiple times; only then did he tell Fortson to drop the gun.

Okaloosa Sheriff Eric Aden fired Duran on May 31 after an internal investigation concluded his life was not in danger when he opened fire.

Duran’s attorney, John Whitaker, did not immediately respond to a phone call and email seeking comment.

It is highly unusual for Florida law enforcement officers to be charged for an on-duty killing — it has only happened four times in the last 35 years before Friday. Even then, only one of those officers has been convicted.

Four Miami-Dade officers were recently indicted on manslaughter charges in connection with a shootout with two robbers who hijacked a UPS truck. The shootout left the UPS driver and a passerby dead along with the hijackers.

Three police officers in the Okaloosa County town of Crestview are awaiting trial on manslaughter charges for the 2021 death of Calvin Wilks Jr., who died after they allegedly jolted him with a stun gun. Those officers have pleaded not guilty.
