Sneaky strength

Power for the long haul.

A powerful Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor, yet it’s quiet as a mouse while you're fishing. Its robust battery system doesn’t just provide power, it provides long-lasting power (no need to remove the batteries for charging!). Autopilot features and brilliant UHD sonar makes steering your pontoon and finding the best fishing spots a breeze. Plus, it's suitable for both salt and fresh water.

Your fishing throne

Best seat in the house.

Adjust, rotate, attach. The fishing pedestal seats spins 360 degrees, adjusts up and down and moves easily around the boat, quickly attaching and detaching of the quick-attach tiles and pairing up with your LinQ Lite accessories for a top-notch fishing experience.

Stayin’ alive

Live well, fish better.

A cooler that doubles as a livewell using an integrated pump to constantly feed water into the reservoir to keep your catch and bait alive. It’s easily and securely installed onto the pontoon using quick-attach tiles. Pro tip: Use the top of the lid to measure your catch!

Open New Doors

Easy onboarding experience within the rear and bow corner doors.

With two corner doors at the back of the pontoon, hopping on and off for a swim is effortless. For fishing, use the bow corner doors for easy catch-and-release or to quickly rinse your hands. That makes four corner doors!

Tools of the trade

Your rod at a moment's notice.

Store up to four fishing rods safely and easily on board the pontoon with quick-access rod storage. Lock them up when you leave the boat so when it’s time to cast a line, you’ll find them exactly where you left them.

Rearrange the ride

Power that’s ready when you are.

Fishing to family and back in the snap of a finger. Deploy the trolling motor at a moment’s notice, then securely store it along with the remote, control pedal and more fishing gear. The top of the storage box doubles as a side table.

Reliable Rotax

Big boat, outsized fun.

Every Switch Fish comes with proven, reliable power thanks to a Rotax 1630 ACE engine. The jet propulsion system offers an outsized fun factor with an unprecedented level of maneuverability for a pontoon boat.

Fish from anywhere

Multiple screens, plenty of fish.

Fish at the front or fish at the back. With two Garmin fish finders on board — one at the console, one at the bow — you can see what you want wherever you are. The screens wirelessly connect to one another allowing both screens to read both in-hull and trolling motor transducers signals.

Captain Comfortably

Pick your perfect position.

A tilting handlebar allows each captain to find their favorite riding posture and adjust on the fly, making an already agile pontoon even more comfortable for drivers while maneuvering tight spaces and docking.

Softer Landing

Comfort in, comfort out.

More comfort, everywhere. The new Swim Platform Carpet provides a cushier landing for climbing back in and a softer seat for lounging with your feet in the water.

Latest: No one remembers the mast snapping before 56m superyacht Bayesian sunk, says crew

No one recalls seeing the mast snap on board the 56-metre Perini Navi sailing yacht Bayesian which sunk yesterday (19 August) off the Italian island of Sicily. The eyewitness account of a crewmember on board the vessel, which was obtained by BOAT International , said that the boat was struck by a freak weather event which led to the yacht heeling at around 20 degrees to starboard. As crewmembers were securing items, the heeling angle began to increase rapidly until the yacht started sinking.

The crewmembers who were up on deck were able to evacuate the yacht with minor injuries. The yacht is understood to have sunk in just twelve minutes, and it is believed that a "major ingress" of water from the top down would have caused the sinking, according to a captain who wishes to remain anonymous. This is based on the fact that no breaches have been reported in the yacht's hull, and the fact that the yacht should have been able to remain afloat with two flooded compartments.

"Very difficult to understand what could have overwhelmed a vessel of that size" says captain of sistership

The captain of the sistership to the sunken 56-metre Perini Navi sailing yacht Bayesian has said it is "very difficult to understand what could have overwhelmed a vessel of that size" and called the 56-metre Perini Navi series "bulletproof".

David Hutchinson, captain of Rosehearty , said he had taken the yacht around the world multiple times and he had "total faith in the boat".  "We've been to Antarctica and Chile, and we've had her in 70 knots of wind," he says, and the vessel had never put them in a situation that felt unmanageable.

However, Hutchinson noted there were differences between Bayesian and Rosehearty ; notably, Bayesian's  74-metre mast, which would have been heavier and added increased windage. The yacht's layout was also different, with guest accommodation on Bayesian located further forward.

Who's currently missing in the Bayesian disaster?

The yacht's sinking in Italy has resulted in five confirmed deaths, one of which is understood to be the yacht's chef, and two additional people missing.

The missing individuals are:

• British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, once dubbed 'Britain's Bill Gates'
• Lynch's 18-year-old daughter, Hannah
• Morgan Stanley's chairman, Jonathan Bloomer
• Judy Bloomer, wife of Morgan Stanley chairman
• Chris Morvillo, a lawyer working for London-based law firm Clifford Chance
• Neda Morvillo, an American jewellery designer and Chris' wife

It is understood that the yacht was being used to celebrate Lynch's recent victory in a 13-year £8 billion fraud acquittal.

Live updates

• A search and rescue is currently underway for two people missing in the waters off Palermo on the Italian island of Sicily. According to Reuters, four bodies have now been found in the sunken yacht, but their identities have not been revealed. Two people are still unaccounted for. 
• Mike Lynch, a British technology entrepreneur who co-founded Autonomy Corporation and founded Invoke Capital, is among the missing.
• Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, and a one-year-old are among the fifteen people rescued along with Bayesian' s captain, James Cutfield.
• Palermo Coastguard has confirmed the body that has been recovered is that of the yacht's chef.
• Another sailing vessel in the area, the 42-metre Sir Robert Baden Powell ,  is understood to have stepped in to offer assistance in the initial rescue.
• Divers have been able to reach Bayesian' s sunken hull, which lies at 45 metres of depth about half a mile from the coast. The yacht had the largest aluminium masts of any sailing yacht on the water.
• Eyewitnesses in the area reported "hurricane" conditions off the coast but local weather websites did not indicate any severe squall, which suggests that the weather event was not forecast.
• At around 5am local time on 19 August, Bayesian was hit by bad weather and sunk.  The sailing yacht was anchored or idle at the time of the incident.

Built in Italy by renowned builder Perini Navi and delivered in 2008, the yacht's naval architecture was developed by Ron Holland Design while the interior design is by Rémi Tessier . She was formerly known as Salute and was last refitted in 2016. She was listed for sale earlier this year, according to BOATPro . The yacht had accommodation for nine guests and 12 crew.

BOAT International will update the story as it develops.
