45 million dollar yacht

Inside the £30m Bayesian superyacht

The superyacht that sank off the coast of Sicily had won multiple awards for its stylish interiors and design.

Mike Lynch , 59, and his teenage daughter, Hannah, are among the seven passengers and crew feared dead when his yacht, the Bayesian, sank off Porticello near the Sicilian city of Palermo.

Divers are searching the wreckage of the 184ft British-flagged vessel, which rests on the sea bed 160ft below the surface and 1,600ft from shore.

The Bayesian, previously called Salute, was built in 2008 by Perini Navi, an Italian shipyard, alongside yacht designer Ron Holland Design. 

When launched, it had the tallest aluminium mast in the world, at 237ft , earning the accolade of best exterior styling at the World Superyacht Awards in 2009.

Inside, the sleek, minimalist furnishings were created by Remi Tessier. The French design house also designed the 240ft-long Nautilus, owned by Thierry Stern, the president of Patek Philippe, and the 177ft-long Parsifal III, made famous by the television show Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

The Bayesian, which accommodated 12 guests in its master, three double and two twin bedrooms, was furnished with a teak deck and beige sofas set against dark wood furnishings.

Thin brown pillars and miniature terracotta sculptures offered a Japanese influence, while a crescent canvas awning kept guests cool on the top deck.

The superyacht won best interior at the International Superyacht Society Awards in 2008, and was also voted one of the best sailing yachts over 45 metres at the 2009 World Superyacht Awards.

Its original owner was John Groenewoud, a Dutch real estate developer, who was said to have purchased Salute from Eric Albada Jelgersma for a reported €35 million (£30 million) when it was built.

Mr Groenewoud, he founder of Built to Build Real Estate, set out an asking price of $35 million (£27 million) and sold the yacht in 2014, according to Boat International.

The Bayesian is now owned by Revtom, a company that listed Angela Bacares, Mr Lynch’s wife, as its legal owner in April. 

It was given the name because Bayesian was the subject of Mr Lynch’s PhD and the name of the statistical method that helped build his empire.

A former chief stewardess of the yacht has spoken of putting on themed occasions and games for the owner’s two daughters.

Monica Jensen, 48, worked on the 184ft superyacht from November 2018 to October 2020 and told The Telegraph: “I had a fantastic time.”

She said she was surprised to hear of the sinking because the boat had withstood the choppiest of seas, telling The Telegraph: “It seems a bit strange. We have been in bad weather with it, crossed the Atlantic. It’s been all over. These things definitely don’t happen very often.”

Ms Jensen said the crew would have been well drilled on the evacuation process, adding: “You can’t work on a boat without the right certificates, training, and you do drills monthly.”

The vessel, which was operated by Camper & Nicholsons, had twin 965hp MTU engines, giving it a range of 3,600 nautical miles at 13-15 knots.

RSB Rigging carried out rig service works on it in conjunction with Astilleros de Mallorca, a shipyard facility in Palma, in November 2016. The Bayesian returned in September 2020 for scheduled service works, with the mast removed and reinstalled.

Steve Branagh, the managing director of RSB Rigging, told The Telegraph: “At this time, our deepest sympathies go out to the friends and families of all those affected by this dreadful tragedy.”

‘Only comfort is they are still together’ says family of bank boss who died with wife in superyacht sinking

The family of a leading bank boss who died alongside his wife when the Bayesian sank off the coast of Sicily have said their “only comfort” is that the couple are “still together now”.

Jonathan Bloomer , chairman of Morgan Stanley International and insurance company Hiscox, and his wife Judy, a psychotherapist, died when Mike Lynch’s £30 million superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily on Monday.

Their deaths were confirmed on Thursday, along with those of Lynch , Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo , 59, and his wife, Neda. Tributes to all those killed have been paid by colleagues, friends and business leaders.

In a statement on behalf of all the family, the Bloomer children said: “We are grieving for our loved ones and all of those affected by the tragedy.

“Our parents were incredible people and an inspiration to many, but first and foremost they were focused on and loved their family and spending time with their new grandchildren.

“Together for five decades, our only comfort is that they are still together now.

“This is an unimaginable grief to shoulder.”

Mr Bloomer, 70, was formerly chief executive of the Prudential insurance group and a defence witness in the US trial in which Mr Lynch was acquitted of fraud.

On Thursday night, the chief executive of Morgan Stanley described Mr Bloomer as a “friend and mentor to many”.

Ted Pick said: “We are deeply saddened by this tragic news.

“Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the Bloomer family and all those affected by this tragedy.

“Jonathan’s leadership and experience helped the firm manage a period of complex change for our international businesses.

“He has been a friend and mentor to many and we will all greatly miss his wise counsel and spirit of kindness.”

Aki Hussain , the chief executive of insurance group Hiscox, where Mr Bloomer was chairman, added: “We are deeply shocked and saddened by Jonathan and Judy’s tragic deaths.

“Our deepest sympathies go out to their family and friends at this devastating time.

“It was a privilege to have known Jonathan and to have benefited from his generosity and wisdom over the last year in his role as chair of Hiscox.

“His deep experience across our industry and in the broader business arena, combined with his personal values, made him both an excellent chair and a person I was proud to know and work with.

“His advice and support were immensely valuable to me, and he will be dearly missed.”

Elsewhere, friends and colleagues of British tech tycoon Mike Lynch praised the businessman.

Family friend Patrick Jacob said: “Mike’s ability to identify and solve complex problems was phenomenal as was his ability to simplify and explain them.

“As a friend, Mike was never dull and always ready for a lively debate on almost any topic conducted with intelligence and convivial vigour.

“He could be challenging and direct but I never came away from seeing him without feeling my life was enriched by the experience.”

Eleanor Lightbody, the chief executive of legal AI company Luminance, said: “I am devastated to hear the news about our founding investor, Mike Lynch, and all of those involved in this tragic accident.

“Mike was a visionary unlike any other. He had a unique ability to spot the next technological revolution and solve tomorrow’s challenges before others even knew they were coming.

“Beyond that, it was his connection to people that made him special. He had a steadfast belief in the UK’s technology sector, in our incredible academic institutions and in the talent he took the time to spot and nurture, regardless of background or discipline.

“Above all, Mike was a kind man who had an impact on many and will be sorely missed. I feel honoured to have known him, worked with him and learnt from him over the years.

“The UK has lost someone with the means, authority, knowledge and drive to propel the UK into technological leadership, but his legacy will live on in all of the extraordinary businesses he built and mentored, as well as his family who are in my thoughts.”

Tim Davie , BBC director-general said: “We are deeply saddened by the awful news about the deaths of those aboard the Bayesian yacht.

“Mike Lynch was an outstanding BBC director who made a major contribution during his time on the board, from 2007 to 2012.

“Wise, generous and insightful, he played a particularly key role in accelerating our transformation as a digital organisation.

“Our thoughts are with his family and all others involved.”

The families of Mr Morvillo and his wife released an emotional statement after the couple were confirmed to have died in the tragedy.

It said: “We are completely devastated by the passing of Chris and Neda, and our collective hearts go out to all the families who have also been affected by this senseless tragedy.

“Chris and Neda were each widely respected for their professional successes, Chris as a distinguished attorney and Neda as a skilled jewellery designer, but their true talents were that of mother and father, son and daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt and dear friends to so many.

“Neda and Chris lived their lives as devoted, loving parents who always put their daughters and families first. Their passing is a tremendous loss for our family and for the countless people who knew and loved them both.

“We extend our deepest gratitude to the Italian rescue services for their unwavering dedication and to Clifford Chance for all the support they have provided.

“As we grieve this enormous loss, our primary focus remains on Chris and Neda’s daughters and other loved ones, and we respectfully request privacy.”

Mr Morvillo had taken on several high-profile cases throughout his career, including assisting in the criminal investigation that followed the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York’s World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Elkan Abramowitz, partner at Morvillo Abramowitz Grand Iason & Anello PC, worked with Mr Morvillo’s father, Robert Morvillo, who was also a renowned lawyer. The younger Mr Morvillo worked at the firm for several years after he left his role as a federal prosecutor.

“We’ve been in contact with the family, and obviously this is a tragic, devastating fact for them, for us,” he told The Telegraph.

“I met Chris when he was four years old because I was friendly and a partner for many years with his father, Bob Marvillo, and I was like an uncle to Chris, and we feel the loss, not only professionally, but personally. It’s just a tragic, tragic, turn of events.”

He added that after leaving his law firm Mr Morvillo went to work for Clifford Chance where he was “a superstar”.

“And of course, he had this fantastic win just a few weeks ago. He was a wonderful human being and a great lawyer, but more importantly, wonderful person, as was his wife.”

He said Mrs Morvillo was an “independent, strong woman, a very talented jewellery designer and very successful at that.”

Jonathan bloomer, respected city executive who spoke up in a us court for mike lynch – obituary.

Jonathan Bloomer, who has died aged 70, was chairman of Morgan Stanley International, former chief executive of the Prudential insurance group – and a defence witness in the US trial in which the tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch was acquitted of fraud.

A well-respected City professional, Bloomer had a reputation for straightforwardness, decency and attention to detail. Colleagues described a gentle, understated man, perhaps more suited to chair and committee roles than to the limelight he attracted during a rollercoaster tenure at Prudential, where he was finance director from 1995 and chief executive from 2000 to 2005.

Witness testimonies ‘while memories are fresh’ key to investigation, says expert.

Obtaining testimonies from witnesses “while memories are fresh” will be essential for authorities investigating the Bayesian sinking, a maritime investigator has said.

James Wilkes said authorities will want to speak to those who survived or witnessed the sinking “while the memories are fresh in their mind”.

Mr Wilkes told Sky News: “A lot of the other information can be collected a bit more slowly.”

He said those investigating the sinking will likely want to know what the crew knew about the incoming storm and what preparations had been made.

He added: “Fortunately, 15 people survived. I’d like to explore the circumstances in which they were able to survive the storm and the sinking, to look at the anomalies and work out the difference between those and the people that sadly didn’t survive and combine it all with technical data and simulation.”

“Jonathan and Judy were great supporters of the NSPCC over many years, with Jonathan joining our board of trustees in 2008 and serving as the honorary treasurer from 2009 to 2016.

David davis vows to scrap us-uk extradition treaty in memory of mike lynch.

Sir David Davis has vowed to campaign “in memory” of Mike Lynch to scrap the extradition treaty between the US and the UK.

Mr Lynch was charged with fraud in the United States in 2018 and fought being sent there for trial for years until he was extradited in 2023.

He was cleared of fraud by a San Francisco jury in June this year over the multibillion-dollar sale of Autonomy, his software company. Mr Lynch always denied fraud.

The UK-US extradition treaty was implemented in 2003 but Sir David said it was lopsided in favour of the Americans and does not provide adequate protections for British citizens.

Hannah lynch still missing, says italian coast guard.

Hannah Lynch, the 18-year-old daughter of British technology tycoon, Mike Lynch, remains missing after the body of her father and four others were recovered from the Bayesian, according to reports.

The Italian coast guard confirmed to the PA news agency that the sixth and final person yet to be found was a woman.

Mr Lynch; his daughter; Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer; his wife, Judy Bloomer; Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo; and his wife, Neda Morvillo, were lost when the Bayesian sank at around 5am on Monday.

Bayesian was stable and only massive entry of water could have caused sinking.

The Bayesian was stable and only a massive entry of water could have caused the sinking, according to the company that built the yacht.

The Italian Sea Group which owns Perini Navi, said in a statement: “The yacht was built in 2008 by the Perini shipyards of Viareggio and the last refit was in 2020.

“The controversies about the mast are sterile controversies because the mast, according to those who have seen it, is intact.

“The retractable keel stabilises the ship, but even without the keel completely out the ship is stable and only a massive entry of water could have caused the sinking which did not happen in a minute as someone wrote.”

09:40 AM BST

Bayesian company executive defends construction.

The chief executive of the company that built the Bayesian has defended the boat’s construction and blamed human error for the sinking of the vessel.

Giovanni Costantino, founder and CEO of The Italian Sea Group, which owns the Perini Navi that built the Bayesian, told Corriere della Sera.“The passengers reported something absurd, that the storm came unexpectedly, suddenly. That is not true.  Everything was predictable.”

Mr Costantino said the Bayesian was “one of the safest boats in the world” and was virtually “unsinkable”.

He added: “Ask yourself – why were none of the Porticello fishermen out that night? A fisher checks the conditions and a ship doesn’t? The disturbance was completely readable on all the weather maps. It was impossible not to know.”

Mr Costantino said the strong winds had pushed the boat for four minutes in what he called “drifting”.  He claimed the boat then rotated and had begun taking on water before it sank.

Divers in sicily recover fifth passenger.

Divers in Sicily have recovered the fifth passenger from the sunken superyacht Bayesian after five were discovered in the wreckage yesterday.

On Wednesday Salvatore Cocina, the head of Sicily’s civil protection agency, said that of the  five bodies found , only four had been recovered. However on Thursday morning the fifth body was retrieved.

A fire service boat with flashing blue lights returned with a blue body bag to Porticello at just after 8.45am local time on Thursday.

Italian authorities are yet to confirm the identities of those pulled from the water.

The  British technology entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his teenage daughter, Hannah, are believed to be among the dead after the £30 million vessel sank on Monday after being hit by a tornado.

Fifteen of the 22 passengers and crew on board, including Mr Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, were rescued by emergency crews after the yacht suffered catastrophic damage owing to the waterspout.

British authorities are now  investigating the exact cause of the sinking .

Recap: what happened yesterday.

Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah are believed to be among five bodies found in the search of the  luxury superyacht Bayesian on Wednesday.

Four bodies were brought ashore. Salvo Cocina, the director of Sicily’s civil protection agency, told The Telegraph that he believed Mr Lynch and his daughter had been found.

Here is a recap of what happened yesterday:

Four bodies were recovered from the sunken superyacht

Divers found a fifth body, which they were working to recover

One person remains missing

Remotely controlled underwater vehicles were used with naval units and cave divers to assist with the search

Divers entered the superyacht’s hull by breaking a window

The captain of the Bayesian was described as a “very good sailor” by his brother

British inspectors arrived in Sicily to investigate the yacht sinking

08:34 AM BST

Fifth body brought ashore by rescue divers.

A fifth body has been recovered and brought ashore from the sunken superyacht Bayesian, Italian authorities confirmed.

Salvo Cocina, the director-general of Sicily’s civil protection agency, told The Telegraph that the body had been recovered from the wreckage, but he did not give any indication of the identity or sex of the individual.

Divers recovered four bodies on Wednesday, with one other passenger still missing.

08:22 AM BST

Diver search and rescue operation.

Specialist cave divers have been searching for missing passengers in the wreckage of the sunken Bayesian.

They gained access to the £30 million vessel after breaking through a 3cm-thick pane of glass.

The teams have scoured wreckage with the assistance of remotely controlled underwater vehicles.

The yacht is lying intact on its starboard side, 165ft underwater.

08:11 AM BST

Pictured: dive teams head to wreckage.

A boat carrying a dive team heads to the site of the sunken superyacht Bayesian.

A fifth body has now been recovered from the wreckage as the search operations enters its fourth day.

British investigators likely to contact designer of mike lynch’s superyacht.

The designer of  Mike Lynch’s superyacht Bayesian is likely to be contacted by British investigators.

The vessel was designed by Ron Holland, a naval architect, who now lives in Vancouver.

Gavin Pritchard, a retired Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) inspector, told The Telegraph that Mr Holland would, in the normal way, be contacted by the MAIB as its  investigation into the sinking gathers pace.

07:21 AM BST

Prosecutors to investigate mike lynch superyacht’s keel.

Prosecutors will investigate the keel on Mike Lynch’s superyacht after it was found “partially elevated”.

On Wednesday, specialist divers continued to recover the remains of the missing passengers, and the tech entrepreneur and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah are believed to be among those pulled out of the water.

While exploring the Bayesian 165ft underwater on the seabed, it was reported that the vessel’s retractable keel was partially raised, raising questions about the boat’s stability at the time of the sinking.

07:19 AM BST

Search enters fourth day.

The search will resume today for the last remaining passenger of the sunken superyacht Bayesian after the vessel was hit by a tornado on Monday morning.

It comes after five bodies were discovered inside the wreckage yesterday.

Six people, including technology entrepreneur Mike Lynch, were unaccounted for after the vessel was hit by a waterspout at around 5am on Monday causing it to sink.

Salvatore Cocina, the head of Sicily’s civil protection agency, confirmed that of the five bodies found on Wednesday, just four had been recovered. He said the whereabouts of the missing sixth person is not yet known.

Authorities are yet to confirm the identities of those recovered from the wreckage.

Crew is one of the largest expenses on a superyacht and critical to the owner’s enjoyment of their vessel. As the largest crew agency in the world, we know crew. Our cost calculator contains customized crew lists for yachts ranging from 80ft to 600ft with salary information based on our reference verified salary data.

Our users also have the ability to completely tailor the crew list to the specific needs, schedule and requirements of their vessel. Each yacht is unique and may have specific owner requests in addition to the yacht’s safe manning requirements.

Management of the supplemental crew costs and strategic budgeting can help avoid significant overspend on categories such as food and uniform. This tool contains default values based on our industry expertise and recommended budget for an efficiently and safely run superyacht.

To learn more about each crew position in detail, including salary ranges, please visit our yacht department directory .

Drag the sliders to modify your results. These are not linear scales and we expect most yachts to operate within the 20-80% window. Above 80% and below 20% costs increase or decrease at exaggerated levels and we only see numbers in these levels in very rare circumstances.

This sunburst diagram is interactive. You can click into each block to see the expense break down and mouse over each block for more details.

Our chart of accounts displays seven major categories, 20 sub-categories plus a further 80 detail categories for a total of 107.

Our yacht operating cost calculator is now on it’s third major revision. We start with actual yacht expense data from our yacht management accountants and then generate formulas to extrapolate out the budget for a wide range of yachts. We have been providing accounting services to large yachts for the past 18 years.

Our operating cost calculator is tuned for yachts from 80 to 600 feet. We find operating variables create the largest variances for yachts smaller than 100 feet and larger than 250 feet. We have tested the numbers the most in the range from 100 to 250 feet.

Our budget calculator factors in the fuel burn for a range of engine sizes typically seen installed on yachts by length. By dragging the green “fuel dockage” slider to the right you will increase the projected fuel burn rate and therefore the budget cost for fuel. Our default position would be for a typical displacement fuel burn. Position the slider in the 60-80% range for fuel projections for planning hulls.

Our default values produce a budget number that we believe is generous to run a yacht to a high standard. Perfect is a very expensive word to use in the yachting industry where standards are already high. Moving the crew and maintenance sliders to 80% will provide an “industry best” quality of crew and give them the maintenance budget to operate to a very high standard. If you need to go over the 80% area then you may have unusually labor intensive equipment on the yacht.

Yes, our yacht operating cost calculator can output a budget suitable for this situation. Adjust the owner use to 2 (minimum value), owner slider to 0, crew slider to 10%, Administration to 10%, Fuel and Dockage to 0, Maintenance to 10% and then Capital Repairs to 0. This will remove all of the large charges associated with owner use and vessel movement but leave the essential base maintenance and insurance in place.

Lift on and float in yacht transport is a popular way to transport yachts across large ocean passage. The yachts that this service certainly applies to are ones that may not have the motoring range or structural integrity for blue ocean cruising. The cost of transporting a yacht twice per year is put into our budget once the “Fuel Dockage” slider hits 75%. If your yacht has the range we recommend self-sufficient ocean passages whenever possible. Whilst the transport companies sell their services based upon reportedly well oiled operated schedules the reality is that your yacht may stay waiting for pickup for a week or more with no compensation due. When factoring in all secondary factors of self-sufficient passages (increased fuel, maintenance, potential storm damage, crew time off, extra delivery crew) compared with transporting your yacht (insurance, potential loading / unloading damage, loss of schedule control, no work whilst underway, crew flights, crew accommodation) we believe that there is a 100% premium associated with float in transport and a 75% premium with lift on transport compared with self-powered.

Abandoned yachts crash in value. We recommend that even if you are trying to sell your yacht that you use the yacht for a minimum of two weeks per year so that systems are tested and working every six months. There is nothing worse for a yacht than not being used. If you truly are not going to use the yacht then you should sell it immediately for the first genuine offer as every dollar you put into maintenance will not be recovered at the time of the sale.

We did not build this version with sailing yachts in mind. Early in our development of this version we decided to exclude sailing yachts as a few of the major cost drivers scale very differently for sailing yachts compared with motor yachts. For example: To calculate paint costs we reviewed the surface area of over 100 large yachts and created a formula for painted surface area to length. Sailing yachts just don’t scale in a consistent way. Similarly crew numbers don’t scale in the same manner that they do for motor yachts. If there is sufficient demand we may build a sailing selector switch into a future version of this tool.

We hate to hear when yacht owners were told by their broker to factor in 10% of the purchase price to operate the yacht. This over used saying is sadly right occasionally (particularly for newer yachts in the $20-30M range)… but just because a broken watch tells the right time twice a day you shouldn’t rely upon it to tell the time. As yachts get older their capital value decreases but their maintenance costs increase. There is no way that a fixed 10% of purchase cost rule can be true… if your broker told you this rule then you need a new yacht broker… we know some good ones. 😊

Check out Nancy Walton Laurie's $300 million superyacht that features a helipad, swimming pool, and aquarium

• Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie owns a multi-award-winning $300 million superyacht.
• "Kaos" was built by Oceanco, the same company that built Jeff Bezos' $500 million megayacht.
• The 361-foot yacht was recently spotted by a TikToker in Miami, Florida.

A superyacht owned by Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie attracted attention recently after being spotted in Miami, Florida.

A TikToker posted a video of "Kaos," Walton Laurie's 361-foot luxury yacht, as it was moored outside her "front door."

"Oh wow, this thing is huge," Bridget Brick says in the video, adding that the yacht "looks like a small city."

@bridgetbrix Never a dull day in Miami, as another, mega yacht pulls up outside my front door. Did you know it’s easy to look up any information about a yacht? I learned this while in Portofino, and from this little search, you can tell who owns yachts & who rents them. 🙊 # #miami # #miamilife # #yacht # #yachts ♬ original sound - Bridget Brick

Walton Laurie, worth $7.5 billion according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index , is the youngest daughter of Walmart co-founder James "Bud" Walton. She inherited her father's stake in the company when he died in 1995.

According to Bloomberg , she has a stake of less than 5% in Walmart, with the rest of the family's holding controlled by her sister, Ann Walton Kroenke. 

Walton Laurie is the founder of a New York-based dance group called the Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet. She also owns a dance studio located in Columbia, Missouri called the Columbia Performing Arts Centre.

According to Yacht Bible , Kaos has four decks and room for 31 guests as well as 45 crew, with the largest deck boasting a swimming pool and even an aquarium. 

It also has a large cinema, sauna, and full spa facilities, the site says.

Photos shared by the Superyacht Times appear to show other features such as a helipad, a jacuzzi, and storage space for a smaller boat. 

"Kaos" was built in the Netherlands by Oceanco, a custom yacht builder which also constructed Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' $500 million megayacht .

"Kaos" was previously named "Al Menwar" by the House of Thani, the Qatari royal family, per the Yacht Bible.

The yacht was fully refitted in 2020 by Luerssen in Hamburg, Germany, per the Yacht Bible, while the interior was redesigned with help from Reymond Langton Design.

Walton Laurie reportedly also owns another lavish superyacht called "Secret," according to Robb Report .
