Investigators can now examine the Bayesian in Termini Imerese to determine cause of sinking in a storm last year

The superyacht belonging to the late tech tycoon Mike Lynch has been moved to a town in Sicily where British and Italian investigators will examine its sinking.

Lynch and his daughter Hannah, 18, were among seven people who died when the Bayesian sank off the Italian coast on 19 August 2024.

Salvage teams said on Saturday that they had lifted the vessel “fully and finally out of the water” for the first time since it sank during a storm.

It was taken from the fishing village of Porticello at about 1.10pm local time on Sunday after it was held above the water by one of Europe’s most powerful floating sea cranes.
