Rossinavi UTOPIA IV Yacht For Sale

Delivered in 2018 by the Rossinavi shipyard, the UTOPIA IV yacht is a harmonious balance of luxurious superyacht and high-performance sport yacht. Fitted with four MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines that provide power to four Rolls Royce hydro jets, motor yacht UTOPIA IV effortlessly glides through the water with a cruising speed of 20 knots while achieving impressive top speeds. Considering her size, this performance is quite remarkable.

With an exterior featuring coupe-like design cues of long handsome lines coupled with a slender silhouette characteristic of Rossinavi yachts, her interior is sleek and wide and can sleep 12 guests across six spacious suites. The tastefully appointed interior blends minimalism with sophisticated European taste sourced from haute couture brands Hermes and Armani. The forward-facing owner’s suite has a commanding view provided by floor-to-ceiling windows and features a grand bathroom with a double shower and jacuzzi. The master suite of this 63-meter Rossinavi superyacht also contains a sitting room, office, and private balcony.

A notable feature of the UTOPIA IV yacht is her impressive stern beach club. The transom folds down to add 754 square feet of swim platform to the bar and relaxation area inside the vessel. Light filters down above the bar from the ceiling through the glass-bottom pool on the main deck above.

In 2019, the Rossinavi UTOPIA IV yacht was the winner of the World Superyachts Award “2019 Semi-Displacement or Planing Motor Yachts – 40m and above” and the winner of the International Superyacht Society Awards of “2019 Best Power 40m – 65m.”

UTOPIA IV underwent a major refit in 2022 which included a full paint job, completion of her 5-year survey, and service of all major machinery including engines, jet drives, and generators. She represents an incredible opportunity to own a world-class, late-model Rossinavi pedigree sport yacht without waiting several years for the delivery of a new vessel. The UTOPIA IV yacht is U.S. duty paid and viewings can be arranged by qualified clients by appointment.

FOUR SEASONS YACHTS ITINERARIES

In its debut year, Four Seasons Yachts will explore more than 130 distinct destinations across over 30 countries and territories. All itineraries are crafted with flexibility in mind, allowing guests to tailor their own adventure as they explore beyond the familiar. The team curating each itinerary understands the nuances of these locales, ensuring each experience is truly extraordinary. Enhancing itineraries are customizable with pre-and-post hotel and overland programs at beloved Four Seasons hotels and resorts.

The first Four Seasons Yacht, currently under construction in Ancona, Italy, will travel westbound as part of its repositioning and will welcome guests to set sail amid the serene turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea from January to March 2026. The first Caribbean itineraries feature seven nights of exploration through the most exciting yachting destinations including Saint Barthélemy (St Barths), Nevis, the Grenadines, St Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curaçao and Aruba. Destination highlights include indulging in the dazzling nightlife of St Barths, discovering Martinique’s volcanic coral reefs and lush rainforest landscapes, a marina day in St Lucia’s Tobago Cays, and much more.

With more destinations and details to be unveiled in the coming months, the first Grand Mediterranean voyages will begin in March 2026 and will include sailings through Croatia, Gibraltar, Montenegro, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Türkiye. The Mediterranean itinerary will also highlight the Greek Isles, with stops in Athens, Ios, Santorini, Milos, and more. Guests will explore under-the-radar islands steeped in culture and history, offering a variety of experiences that go above and beyond the ordinary of Mediterranean sailings.

FOUR SEASONS YACHTS DESIGN

In collaboration with Tillberg Design of Sweden and the Yacht’s Creative Director, Prosper Assouline, the Yacht’s suite design embodies the essence of intuitive luxury, each a sanctuary of tranquillity with panoramic views, elegant interiors, thoughtful details and a residential feel that creates the sense of a welcoming home at sea.

“Our goal was to craft an environment that feels both familiar and extraordinary, with warm hues and open designs. We are creating an inviting, welcoming environment that reflects the same feeling one experiences at a Four Seasons hotel or resort,” says Fredrik Johannson, Partner and Executive Director of Tillberg Design of Sweden. “At the same time, we are designing a look and feel that is unique to this project, creating an elegant yet simple interior that stands out on its own, while blending beautifully with the majestic seas that will surround it.”

With 50% more living space per guest than currently available with any competitor at sea, all suites will offer floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing sweeping sea views, double vanity bathrooms with spacious showers and closets, expansive private terraces, and dynamic use of space and light.

The Yacht’s extensive network of adjoining suites will feature an innovative system that connects accommodations with modular walls, offering numerous options of vertical and horizontal combinations within the signature suites. This versatility will unlock more than 100 different connection options and the unique opportunity to reserve an entire side of a deck, perfect for those travelling with family, friends, or larger groups. For example, this one-of-a-kind design will allow for more than 13,000 square feet (1,200 square metres) of total living space.

FOUR SEASONS YACHTS: FUNNEL & LOFT SUITES

The largest accommodations are seven signature suites ranging from 2,981 to 9,975 square feet (277 to 927 square metres) of indoor and outdoor living space. They offer two to three bedrooms, separate living rooms, indoor and outdoor dining space, splash pools, outdoor showers, and the option to connect to additional suites.

The premier signature suite accommodations – the Funnel and Loft Suites – both feature three bedrooms, outdoor showers, and splash pools. The largest on board, the Funnel Suite, housed within the Yacht’s glass-enclosed funnel, is 9,975 square feet (927 square metres), spanning four levels of living space. The suite’s towering floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows, made up of the largest contiguous piece of glass at sea, is a one-of-a-kind engineering feat offering stunning 280-degree panoramic views. The Loft Suite is 7,952 square feet (739 square metres) and can accommodate large group sizes of up to 20 people by connecting with seven additional suites, the largest number of connecting suites available.

When exploring beyond the comforts of their stunning suites, guests can enjoy 11 dining options, spa and wellness offerings, a state-of-the-art transverse marina, and the stern pool, set to be one of the largest in the industry at nearly 19 metres long and 5 metres wide (65 feet long and 18 feet wide). Its unique hydraulic lift design will allow the pool deck to level out, creating an expansive outdoor space for weddings, celebrations and other events.

This Highly Anticipated Luxury Cruise Line Just Revealed Its Inaugural Itineraries — Plus a Peek Inside Its 95 Luxe Suites

In 2026, Four Seasons Yachts will sail to more than 130 destinations.

Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd, Joint Owner/Operator Four Seasons Yachts

As we're just two short years from the debut of Four Seasons Yachts , it's time to take a look at where the first ship in the fleet will be sailing — and it's a dazzling collection of more than 130 destinations throughout the Caribbean and Mediterranean.

From January to March 2026, the first Four Seasons Yacht will sail the Caribbean, visiting such islands as St. Barts, Nevis, the Grenadines, St. Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curaçao and Aruba. Afterward, it'll make the transatlantic journey to the Mediterranean, traveling through the Greek Isles, the Italian Riviera, and the Adriatic, among other destinations. Each itinerary in both regions can be combined with overland extensions at Four Seasons hotels.

But Four Seasons Yachts hasn't only announced its inaugural itineraries; it's provided a sneak peek inside the first ship's 95 suites, too. Interiors are a collaboration between Tillberg Design of Sweden and Four Seasons Yachts creative director Prosper Assouline.

"Our goal was to craft an environment that feels both familiar and extraordinary, with warm hues and open designs. We are creating an inviting, welcoming environment that reflects the same feeling one experiences at a Four Seasons hotel or resort," Fredrik Johannson, partner and executive director of Tillberg Design of Sweden, said in a statement provided to Travel + Leisure . “At the same time, we are designing a look and feel that is unique to this project, creating an elegant yet simple interior that stands out on its own, while blending beautifully with the majestic seas that will surround it.”

The suites are enormous, offering 50 percent more living space than any other ship at sea. They'll each feature floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces to give guests sweeping sea and landscape views, wherever they are in the world.

Perhaps most uniquely, the adjoining suites on the ship have modular walls that allow for more than 100 connection options, creating versatile living arrangements for guests' needs. For example, you could combine the entire side of a deck to create a 13,000-square-foot palatial accommodation at sea.

“We are excited to showcase the breathtaking destinations and world-class design awaiting guests aboard Four Seasons Yachts as we approach our inaugural season in 2026,” Alejandro Reynal, Four Seasons president and CEO, said in a statement provided to T+L. “At Four Seasons, guest-centricity has always been the foundation of our luxury service offering and our exceptional Yacht will extend this approach to the seas."

Rates start at $19,900 per suite for a seven-night sailing; bookings are not yet open, but you can register your interest at fourseasonsyachts.com .

44 Yacht Power Catamaran

Born of innovation and experience, the luxurious Aquila 44 Yacht Power Catamaran is a world leader in its class. Designed to be both a long-distance cruising yacht and a highly social platform, the highly experienced Aquila design and engineering team created the Aquila 44 Yacht to optimize performance.

Two Volvo Penta diesel engines are situated aft behind the living compartments reducing noise and vibrations. Bulbous bows increase the waterline for greater efficiency while reducing pitching moments. Multifunction displays, digital controls, joystick operation, engine monitoring displays, thrusters, and widely spaced main engines make operating the Aquila 44 Yacht easily accomplished by a single couple.

With an enormous amount of attention to detail and knowledge of how owners use their boats, both the exterior and interior spaces are perfected to serve those utilizations. The stairway from the flybridge to the foredeck gives safe, easy access to the ground tackle locker and forward cleats when anchoring or docking. Wide side decks and safety handrails are another example of the Aquila's commitment to owners’ and guests’ comfort and safety on the 44 Yacht model.

Available with a 3-cabin layout featuring a salon and galley with 360° views and an extensive flybridge, the layout of the Aquila 44 Yacht makes entertaining a crowd aboard easy. Boarding from the port or starboard swim platforms, guests step up to the aft deck with an al fresco dinette. The window partition between the aft deck and the interior galley lifts, and the countertop folds out to create a service bar. The galley is strategically placed between the aft deck and the salon and dinette on the main deck, making it easy to serve guests inside and outside. A summer kitchen is centrally located to attend to guests in the aft-mounted dinette, and those on the flybridge can enjoy panoramic views along with the operator while underway.

Customization options are available to meet an array of boating lifestyles.

Review of Four Seasons Yachts

Four Seasons Yachts is a new cruise line and travel brand owned by Four Seasons Hotels Ltd via its subsidiary Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd (Malta-incorporated, Miami-based).

Debuting in 2026-Q1 (postponed from 2025-Q4), the ultra-luxury travel brand Four Seasons Yachts ( official website ) brings the Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts' legendary attentive and personalized service to the high seas. Currently, the brand plans to commence cruise revenue operations in November 2025.

Four Seasons cruise fleet consists of three identical-design newbuild superyachts (1x under construction , 1x ordered, 1x optional) representing a total investment of EUR 1,2 billion (400M per unit).

The first ship ( Four Seasons I ) was initially scheduled for completion/delivery and inauguration in November 2025, but postponed for January 2026. The second ship (Four Seasons II) was ordered in June 2023 and is planned for inauguration in December 2026. The third unit currently remains optional (by the shipbuilding contract).

Four Seasons' shipbuilder is Fincantieri ( Trieste yard for prefabrication, Ancona yard for assembly) and all vessels are Malta- flagged and registered in Valletta . The shipbuilding contract with Fincantieri was signed on July 11, 2022.

Curiously, Four Seasons' cruise shipping business started in 2003 with their ever-first vessel Four Seasons Explorer (2002-built as ISLAND EXPLORER). This catamaran-type superyacht has volume 592 GT-tons, LOA length 39 m, max passenger capacity 25.

FS Explorer (advertised as "Cruising Resort" and "Floating Resort") is currently Maldives-flagged (MMSI 511000820) and registered in the Male/Kaafu Atoll . The catamaran is now deployed in Palau (Oceania/Micronesia) and offers year-round voyages leaving roundtrip from homeport Koror . Until 2023, FS Explorer was deployed in the Maldives and operated year-round sailings in the Baa Atoll .

Itinerary of Four Seasons Yachts

Bookings for select Four Seasons cruises and itinerary information (departure dates, homeports, call ports/regions, destinations) were initially expected sometime in 2023-H2. However, details on the company's inaugural season (2026) were announced in late March 2024.

On March 26, 2024, the company announced its first 10 cruises scheduled for its first ship ( Four Seasons I ) slated for 2026-Q1. The program is based on destinations in Europe/Mediterranean and the Caribbean.

In 2026-Q1 (January-February-March), the Four Seasons I ship will visit 130+ different destinations (ports and islands) in 30+ countries. Following the inaugural Mediterranean season, the ship will be redeployed (RepositionCruises.com) from Europe to the Caribbean (westbound Transatlantic crossing) operating in the Southern Caribbean.

The European itineraries visit destinations in Croatia, Montenegro, Italy, Iberia (Portugal and Spain), and the Eastern Med/Aegean Sea - Turkey and Greece (Greek Islands and Piraeus-Athens).

The inaugural cruise season (January-March 2026) groups 130 different ports/destinations in 30+ countries/territories in the Caribbean. Most itineraries are 7-night and visit destinations like Saint Bartholemy (Gustavia), the Grenadines (Mayreau, Bequia), Nevis (Charlestown), St Lucia (Marigot Bay, Rodney Bay, Soufriere Bay, Tobago Cays), Barbados (Bridgetown, Speightstown), Dominica, Martinique (Le Marin, Pointe du Bout, Fort-de-France), Antigua (Falmouth), Guadeloupe (Isles des Saintes), Sint Maarten (Philipsburg), BVI (Peter Island), Aruba (Oranjestad), Curacao (Willemstad).

Four Seasons Yachts' first voyages in Europe are scheduled for March 2026. The Mediterranean itineraries visit Gibraltar and ports in the Adriatic (Italy, Croatia, Montenegro), Western Med (Portugal, Spain) and Aegean (Greece, Turkey). Greek Isles itineraries visit Piraeus-Athens, and popular for tourism islands like Santorini, Milos, Paros, Ios, Mykonos, Hydra.

All Four Seasons cruises can be customized to cruisetours inclusive of shore excursions and land-based programs. This way, optionally, the sailings can be extended with land stays (pre- and post-cruise packages) at Four Seasons properties (hotels and resorts).

Four Seasons Is Launching a Luxury Yacht in 2025, and It’s as Glamorous as You’d Expect

The arrival of a new Four Seasons will always resound farther than its new neighborhood and this latest addition is no different—except now the whispers extend to the seas.

Four Seasons is taking its award-winning service to the ocean with the launch of Four Seasons Yachts , “appealing to discerning guests looking to reimagine their love of travel by experiencing the splendor of modern sea voyaging," according to a statement. Anticipated to set sail in late 2025, bespoke voyages will carve through the sea to some of the world’s most breathtaking destinations. The vessel will be led and staffed by a dedicated team, with staff outnumbering guests.

A rendering of what the Four Seasons yacht will be.

The first of a fleet of Four Seasons yachts, currently being built in Trieste, Italy , will span 14 decks and include 95 suites. True to Four Seasons fashion, the boat is as polished as they come—each custom-designed suite costs over 4 million to build. With “ultimate privacy, flexibility and spaciousness” in mind, the adaptable joining combinations seamlessly integrated into each suite will create villa-like estates in a nautical residential setting. The floor-to-ceiling windows in each room are all about those unobstructed riviera views, while the generous indoor-outdoor space—by way of an expansive private terrace deck—is the spot for sundowners. Accommodation will start at an average of 581 square feet with the roomiest—a four-level suite named the “Funnel”—offering more than 9,601 square feet and completed with a private splash pool and spa area.

Restaurants, lounges, and bars have been carefully considered, from expertly made coffee to meticulously plated sushi or a glass of Champagne on deck. The yacht will be equipped with a full-service spa, salon, and wellness program, the pool can transform into an outdoor movie theater or event space, and the transverse marina will also make the perfect spot to soak in the sun or dive into the warm waters.

Placing sustainability at its forefront, the vessel will use green energy fuels, zero-emission energy sources, and air emissions far better than international standards. There are further plans to integrate more state-of-the-art green technologies down the line.

Along with Four Seasons, there are a few notable masterminds behind the exciting new venture. World-leading shipbuilding group, Fincantieri, will bring its groundbreaking engineering and technology to craft the finest vessels for Four Seasons Yachts with industry expert Larry Pimentel, and luxury entrepreneurs Nadim Ashi and Philip Levine also heading the project. Lead architects Tillberg Design of Sweden and London-based Martin Brudnizki Design Studio (who’s worked with fly-high places such as Annabel’s and many of London’s best restaurants ) will oversee the exteriors and suite designs, with creative direction from Prosper Assouline.

Since Four Seasons Yachts is still far from its maiden voyage, details on itineraries are still yet to be confirmed but rumors of sun-soaked journeys through the Mediterranean and Caribbean are on the horizon. Costs will vary by individual itineraries and will only be announced once reservations open in the third quarter of 2023.

This isn’t the first time the Toronto-based luxury hospitality group has dipped its toes in the water, having launched Four Seasons Explorer cruises many years ago, and with 124 hotels and resorts already in the portfolio, the new venture “represents the next chapter of its long history of industry-leading innovation, and a milestone moment for the company” says Christian Clerc, President of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.

EXCLUSIVE: First Look Inside Superyacht VALOUR - Below Deck Season 4 Yacht

Share this on Facebook

By Oliver Pearson 1 April 2016

In a recent exclusive, we revealed that the name of the Below Deck Season 4 yacht will be superyacht VALOUR. Now, in a further exclusive, we can unveil her real name, and show some previously unseen photographs of her interior.

Following Bravo TV's tradition of naming yachts after 'Homeric' Greek mythology, the forthcoming Below Deck Season 4 superyacht VALOUR is in actual fact the 47m/154ft motor yacht BG .

A sophisticated and modern motor yacht built by the prestigious Dutch shipyard Feadship , she possess a quality which is the yachting equivalent of a Rolls Royce. Bringing together the very best in luxury amenities in a highly styled environment, her interior decor is entirely contemporary and her outdoor areas are designed to keep up with the very best superyachts.

Her refit in 2015 was coordinated by Dee Dee Taylor Eustace, the celebrity architect and interior designer who established Taylor Hannah Architect Inc. With considerable experience in high-end residential interior design, and an extensive knowledge of the marine lifestyle, her signature use of colour and space makes BG every inch the ideal superyacht.

With this in mind, it’s no surprise that the yacht was chosen for Below Deck season 4. Indeed, it offers a suitably glamorous setting for the latest crew to treat their guests in, and showcases perfectly why private yacht charter is the most exclusive and desirable vacation choice. As we revealed in an earlier article, Below Deck Season 4 was shot around the stunning waters of the British Virgin Isles .

Like all of the other yachts featured on Below Deck, the yacht in season 4 is available to rent for private luxury yacht charter vacations

Unlike the clasically themed interior of the 46m/150ft motor yacht Ionian Princess featured in the Below Deck spin-off Below Deck Mediterranean , motor yacht BG exudes a modern charm, and employs an incredibly bright colour scheme to complement the soft and comfortable furnishings.

Working to create a ‘Hampton Beach House’ theme, the work Dee Dee Eustace carried out in the interior utilises designer fabrics and timeless furnishings to complement the expertly refined layout.

Indeed, her long main salon features an impressive symmetrical arrangement which nicely emphasises the space inside, and will certainly provide the perfect space for the amplified drama viewers have come to expect from the franchise.

Adjacent to the main salon, the dining room features an appropriately styled patina and rosewood table to ensure all guests enjoy their meals, and features a custom built wine wardrobe capable of storing up to 120 bottles of wine.

The master suite on the main deck has received the same refreshing treatment, with a comfortable seating area and a hugely voluminous en-suite feeling more like a penthouse apartment than simply a bedroom.

Each of her 5 other guest suites are similarly well designed and provide exceptional accommodation for up to 12 guests- a perfect arrangement for both families and small parties.

Inflatable slide attached to superyacht BG

The exterior spaces of luxury yacht BG are just as impressive- here, guests are able to take advantage of expansive sunpads and a sizeable table for some outstanding al fresco dining.

Sure to keep the cast of Below Deck Season 4 ultra-busy is the Jacuzzi located on the upper deck. Perfectly situated for taking in oceanic views whilst enjoying a soak, the guests will certainly be after a crew capable of bringing out drinks and fresh towels at a moment’s notice.

Furthermore, the spacious dining and entertaining area on the bridge deck aft boasts a large projector screen for guests to enjoy a movie after dark.

Steps on both the port and starboard side of the aft deck provide convenient access to the full beam swim platform which is nicely extended for greater access to the water. From this platform guests are able to effortlessly board tenders, begin playing with her catalogue of towable water toys, or simply dive into the ocean to cool off.

At the Palm Beach Boat Show this year, YachtCharterFleet boarded superyacht BG following the filming of Below Deck Season 4, and will be releasing a full review shortly.

Man and his dog rescued from disabled boat 25 miles out to sea as Hurricane Helene fast approached

The 36-foot sailboat started taking on water and left them both stranded.

The United States Coast Guard has rescued a man and his dog as Hurricane Helene fast approached them when his boat became disabled and started taking on water 25 miles out to sea, officials said.

The sailor and his dog were on a 36-foot sailboat on Thursday when the boat started taking on water, leaving the man and his canine stranded in the ocean approximately 25 miles off of Sanibel Island with no help or support nearby, according to a statement from U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater released early Friday morning.

“Coast Guard crews responded to the boater’s distress call and rushed to the man’s location, approximately 25 miles offshore from Sanibel Island near Fort Myers,” authorities said. “A successful rescue attempt was made and the unidentified sailor and his dog were saved and brought back to land.”

Officials have not disclosed why the man was out to sea while small craft advisories and hurricane warnings had already been issued in the area as Hurricane Helene was expected to make landfall.

Hurricane Helene has officially made landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida as a major Category 4 storm with 140 mph winds late Thursday night, with the storm touching down near Perry, Florida, just east of the mouth of the Aucilla River.

Hurricane Helene marks the first Category 4 hurricane to make landfall in Florida's Big Bend Region since at least 1859.

Just after Hurricane Helene made landfall over Florida, the number of customers without power crossed the 1 million mark and outages have extended into neighboring Southern states with over 46,000 customers without power in Georgia and over 12,400 customers without power in North Carolina, according to powerouttages.us.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp confirmed that two people were killed during Hurricane Helene's passage into Georgia overnight, bringing the storm's total death toll to three.

Kemp said he and his family were "saddened to learn of the loss of two lives in Wheeler County this evening. As we join their families in mourning their deaths, we urge all Georgians to brace for further impact from Helene, remain vigilant and pray for all those affected."

Earlier, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a press conference late Thursday that one person was killed on the I-4 highway near Tampa when a sign fell on a car.

A search operation was launched on Saturday morning after police received reports a boat had overturned off the WA coast.

The vessel had four people onboard and there were fears when two of them could not be accounted for.

The missing pair managed to swim ashore, and all passengers are now safe.

Two people have been rescued and another two managed to swim ashore after their boat capsized two kilometres off WA's Mid West coast.

Emergency services were called just after 7am Saturday, following reports a 3.7 metre boat carrying four people had overturned near Lucky Bay in Kalbarri.

On board were two men and a woman aged in their 50s, and a 16-year-old boy.

Water police initiated a search with Kalbarri Marine Rescue.

The RAC rescue helicopter was requested but was quickly stood down.

A spokesperson for the Department of Fire and Emergency Services said the marine rescue boat located two of the passengers at sea about 90 minutes after receiving the call and transported them to shore at Port Gregory.

Two people managed to swim the two kilometre distance to shore.

Swept to sea

Sergeant Adrian Warring said the incident started in a large lagoon off the coast of a campsite near Lucky Bay.

"They had anchored the vessel just inside the lagoon. Unfortunately, somehow the anchor was lifted and the current there is very strong which made the boat drift out into the open water," he said.

A police officer in uniform looks at the camera seriously.

"I believe the two that swam back were the vessel owners.

"The two other [people] weren't known to those people, just met this morning and went onboard."

All four people were taken to hospital for assessment, and no one was seriously injured.

Seargent Warring hailed the marine rescuers as the heroes of the day.

"They're all volunteers, they came in and were out on the water by 7.30 so that was a great turnaround," he said.

Sergeant Warring said while everyone was safe, it was a reminder to remain vigilant while on the water this summer.

"I think this is a reminder to all … if you are going to go out on your vessel to ensure you have all your emergency equipment," he said.

"The ocean as we know if very unpredictable and things can change in a matter of a flash."

Sailing yachts like Mike Lynch's are 'unsinkable bodies', CEO of boat manufacturing firm says

Bayesian superyacht which sank off Italy is an "unsinkable" vessel, Giovanni Costantino, CEO of The Italian Sea Group, said.

By Ashna Hurynag, news correspondent and Eleonora Chiarella, producer

Sunday 25 August 2024 08:48, UK

Vessels like Mike Lynch's stricken superyacht are "unsinkable", according to the chief executive of the firm which makes and sells them.

Giovanni Costantino, CEO of The Italian Sea Group, told Sky News there are no flaws with the design and construction of the Bayesian superyacht which capsized in a storm off the coast of Porticello, Sicily, on Monday.

Five bodies were found by divers on Wednesday - taking the number of confirmed dead to six.

The Italian Sea Group also owns the firm that built British tech tycoon Mr Lynch's Bayesian, and Mr Costantino said the vessels "are the safest in the most absolute sense".

News of the sinking left CEO of The Italian Sea Group Giovanni Costantino in ‘sadness on the one hand and disbelief on the other’.

"Being the manufacturer of Perini [boats], I know very well how the boats have always been designed and built," he said.

"And as Perini is a sailing ship... sailing ships are renowned to be the safest ever."

He said their structure and keel made them "unsinkable bodies".

Mr Costantino said news of the sinking "put me in a state of sadness on one side and of disbelief on the other".

"This incident sounds like an unbelievable story, both technically and as a fact," he said.

It is understood Italian prosecutors investigating the incident are continuing to hold interviews with the survivors.

On Tuesday they questioned the captain for more than two hours to help reconstruct what happened and provide useful technical details.

Four British inspectors are also in Porticello and have begun a preliminary assessment of events.

It is understood they will look at all relevant aspects of the incident, including the design, stability, and operation of the vessel. They will also examine the effects of the weather conditions experienced.

Keep up with all the latest news from the UK and around the world by following Sky News

Twenty-two people were on board the vessel, 15 of whom were rescued - including Briton Charlotte Golunski and her one-year-old daughter Sofia.

Divers will resume efforts on Thursday morning to bring ashore a body they found earlier. One more person remains missing.
