CRN’s Cloud 9 Is Yours to Charter

A week aboard crn's superyacht cloud 9 is about as heavenly as a yacht charter gets., michael verdon, michael verdon's most recent stories.

Chartering Cloud 9 could induce, as its name suggests, a long-term state of bliss. While “something for everyone” is a cliché used to market most charter vessels, this graceful but voluminous yacht from CRN delivers on the promise with its abundance of and s.

For instance, the spa on the 245-foot yacht has a massage area, a hair salon, and a foldout balcony so guests getting a haircut or rubdown can sip a posttreatment Prosecco while savoring the view. The beach club’s espresso bar is a chic, laid-back sit-down area inside the transom—and the long swim platform just behind it provides snorkeling and scuba opportunities. Cloud 9 ’s 2,600-gallon glass-bottom pool sits between a Jacuzzi and an outdoor cinema. And among the yacht’s navy of water toys are a 30-foot Novurania Chase 31 tender, a MasterCraft X20 competition ski boat, a sailing catamaran, and five Jet Skis.

The Italian architectural firm Zuccon International packed these many bonuses into an elegant profile, avoiding the behemoth look—despite Cloud 9 ’s considerable length—by layering the yacht’s six decks. The foredeck works as a private gathering area and alfresco dining room under a tent designed for protection against wind and sun. Back near the pool, Zuccon worked closely with Andrew Winch, the designer of Cloud 9 ’s interior and exterior guest areas, for a seamless transition to the interior. The pool area is outfitted with a similar feel as the saloon, including sofas with deep cushions. The sense of being in an oasis of relaxation, inside and out, is reinforced at every turn, with calming choices in furniture, lighting, and the entertainment system.

Working with an area equaling several football fields, Winch created an informal but refined interior. Brushed Douglas fir and limed oak were his team’s woods of choice, but the designers customized each area by interspersing 50 other materials throughout the yacht. The artwork is modern but also classic, with British artist Fenella Elms’s porcelain cloudscape on the walls defining the saloon area. The owners decided to do without a formal dining area, so the designers created a circular entrance on the upper deck with a table at its center, where guests have the choice of dining with the transparent glass door closed or open to the elements.

Cloud 9 has eight staterooms—a master, a VIP suite, and six doubles (plus two cabins for assistants)—but it limits charters to 12 guests. The master suite on the owner’s deck measures an otherworldly 4,500 square feet and has access to a private terrace on the foredeck.

Despite its cavernous spaces and overall size, Cloud 9 is at heart an intimate family yacht that pays homage to formality without being imprisoned by it. It could be the coolest charter yacht in the fleet this year.

Watering Hole

Cloud 9’s glass-bottom pool is the yacht’s natural gathering point, with a Jacuzzi and memory-foam sofas nearby to promote relaxation. The outdoor cinema (there’s a second one in the main saloon for rainy days) uses 97-inch Stewart screens and 4K video projectors. Revolution Acoustics’ SSP6 “multi-ducers” provide surround sound around the pool. These nonspeakers actually use the aluminum panels near the pool to transmit sound. “The surface becomes a full-range speaker, creating a 3-D audio effect,” says Maurizio Minossi, technical director at Videoworks. “It turned out to be a great listening area and, with no speakers, had zero impact on the look of the yacht.”

The list of toys aboard Cloud 9 is almost unheard of, even for a yacht of its size. The selection includes a 30-foot Novurania rigid inflatable as a chase boat or landing craft, a MasterCraft X20 competition ski boat, a sailing catamaran, five stand-up and sit-down personal watercraft, diving gear, fishing gear, and a 40-foot inflatable slide. There’s also a drone to record all the maritime adventures.

Masterful Suite

The palatial master suite has just about everything anyone needs, including paired bathrooms, a walk-in closet, and a bedroom surrounded by windows that offer private panoramic water views. Master-suite guests also have access to a private deck just in front, a nice little space where they can sip morning cappuccinos.

Glassed-In Gym

The glassed walls and mirrors of the gym provide brilliant waterside views, but the area is also designed for serious workouts. There are spin bikes (which can be brought up to the foredeck), a rowing machine, a treadmill, and even a Technogym kinesis machine. The area can also convert to a schoolroom when the gym is not in use.

Advanced Entertainment System

Though most of its cables and computers are hidden behind bulkheads, Cloud 9’s entertainment center is one of the most advanced ever on a yacht. “The system and servers are as extensive as any modern office building,” says Minossi, whose firm installed the system during the 3-year build. “The owner dedicated a budget so we could install a Cisco network and include the best audiovisual equipment from Yamaha, Sony, and Panasonic.” The independent entertainment zones (think saloon, staterooms, and aft exterior area) can be controlled individually by iPad, including accessing the yacht’s extensive library of music and movies. Surfing the web is also seamless. “Our goal is to design the system as if someone is at home,” says Minossi, “even when they are many miles offshore.”

Incredible Photos From CRN’s Colourful Launch Of Yacht CLOUD 9

A cold Saturday January 21st saw the highly anticipated launch of new yacht Cloud 9 at the CRN shipyard in Ancona, Italy. This collaboration between Italian duo CRN and Zuccon International project was supported by none-other than Winch Designs, who were also responsible for interiors onboard the owner’s previous yacht named Cloud 9 – a 60m CMN.

The yacht Cloud 9 launch party was quite the ceremony. Yachtspotters and CRN staff in their hundreds came to watch the beautiful superyacht slide backwards into the water amongst cheers from the crowd. You can watch the official video below, complete with slow-motion champagne smash:

A Huge Achievement

Cloud 9 (ex CRN hull 131) is a huge achievement for all at CRN and for the new owner, commissioning his second new-build superyacht.

Alberto Galassi, CRN’s Chairman and CEO of the Ferretti Group, said:

“We are really thrilled to have been involved in the construction of this extraordinary yacht which was a new and exciting challenge for CRN. This incredible 74 metre vessel will reinforce CRN’s expertise and varied range in working with a completely new concept to fulfil an owner’s vision. The result is a cutting-edge yacht that perfectly combines state-of-the-art technology, astonishing design and the best CRN features.”

Finally the launch of CRN 74 mt Cloud 9!!!!@winchdesign_wd #design#zucconinternationalproject#yachting#boatlife#yachtingworld#luxury#superyacht#instaday#instapic#superyachtingsfinest#picoftheday#madeinitaly??#superyachtindustry#superyachtlifestyle A photo posted by Zuccon International project (@zuccon_international_project) on Jan 21, 2017 at 5:19am PST

The 60m yacht Cloud 9 was sold and renamed Ice Angel signalling that it now belongs to the owner of a 55m Heesen by the same name- now also seen for sale.

Meanwhile, the launch of the new Cloud 9 leaves space for the latest Zuccon International Project 79m yacht being constructed at CRN to be moved into the finishing shed. When launched, this will beat Cloud 9 into second place in terms of the longest CRN superyachts in the fleet.

Andrew Winch of Winch Design comments:

“It has been a great pleasure to work with Zuccon, I have always admired Mr Zuccon’s exterior designs and to partner with him and CRN for this project has been very exciting. We have previously designed a 60 metre motor yacht for these clients with whom I have a very close friendship which makes this project particularly enjoyable. It is a pleasure to work with them again and I am appreciative of their trust and confidence.”

Cloud 9: Let’s Take A Closer Look

In the ninth month of the year, let’s take a close look at the Super Yacht ‘Cloud 9’.

The phrase “cloud nine” evokes a feeling of pure joy and happiness, and it’s the perfect name for a superyacht designed for family relaxation. Cloud Nine is a remarkable achievement, especially considering its origins. 

When the original client for the 74-meter hull withdrew, CRN found itself in a difficult situation. But a new owner emerged, with his own design and build teams, and together they transformed CRN’s second largest yacht into a stylish and comfortable cruiser.

The hunt for a new superyacht

Captain Colin Boyle was sailing his yacht Cloud 9 in Singapore when he received a phone call from his owner. It was January 2014, and the owner had a proposition: Fly to Rome at 1 a.m. to look at a potential new superyacht.

The owner was looking to build a larger yacht, and Burgess, the broker who had represented him on the previous build, knew of an opportunity. CRN project 131 was a 74-meter yacht already well underway, but the original client had withdrawn.

The hull and superstructure were complete, and the major machinery was installed. The yacht had similar lines to the award-winning Azteca and the yard’s flagship, Chopi Chopi.

Bernardo Zuccon of Zuccon International Project saw it as an opportunity to “rewrite the story.” The new owner had three months to replan and redraw the yacht, and the team worked tirelessly to make his vision a reality.

The result is a superyacht that is both timeless and approachable. The exterior styling is mature and sophisticated, focusing on human comfort. The stern platform features a massive fold-down door that creates a sprawling beach club, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and entertaining guests.

Cloud 9 Plus: A superyacht beach house with a twist

One of the highlights of Cloud 9 is its massive recreation area on the main aft deck. The centrepiece of this area is a 10,000-liter spa pool with a glass bottom, flanked by stairs on either side. The owners have nicknamed their new yacht “Cloud 9 Plus,” and it’s easy to see why.

Winch Design has used sand tones, vibrant blues, and a treasure trove of decorative shells, corals, and agates to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Brushed Douglas fir and limed oak add to the beach house feel, while the generous dimensions and comfortable spaces make it the perfect place to entertain guests or simply relax and enjoy the luxury of your surroundings.

Here is a summary of the main features of this fantastic superyacht:

• 74-meter length
• 2,218 gross tonnes
• Six cabins (including two staff cabins finished as guest cabins)
• Two cinemas
• Hair salon/massage room
• Superyacht gym
• Espresso bar
• Outdoor dining area
• Large circular wooden tables that can be expanded or removed
• Interior and exterior spaces designed to merge indoor and outdoor living
• More focus was put on the exterior spaces of the boat, including the cockpit on the main deck and the bow area
• Heavy layered doors to the cabins with soundproofing from specialist Cergol Engineering
• Owners’ deck with magnificent suite, wraparound windows, private terrace, and helideck (converted to grand entertaining platform)
• Fire- and soundproof passageway through the engine room’s top level to connect the beach club, port tender garage, and guest arrival lobby

A family-friendly vibe was a priority

Cloud 9’s owners wanted a superyacht with a casual, family-friendly vibe, so they eschewed a traditional dining area in favour of a spacious, open-plan main saloon.

The heart of the saloon is a vast, 1.5-meter-deep sofa perfect for watching movies, lounging by the pool, or simply relaxing with family and friends. The overall atmosphere is sunny and inviting, with a 3D porcelain panel “cloud” adding movement and depth to the central bulkhead.

In addition to its spacious main saloon, Cloud 9 also features two cinemas, a hair salon/massage room, and a superyacht gym. The owner’s deck is a sprawling 400 square meters, with its own outdoor cinema and plenty of space to relax and entertain guests.

Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show 2024

The guest cabins are located on the main deck, and each has a unique nameplate engraved with the name of a Star Wars character, which can be removed if the guests are not fans of the films.

The owner’s deck is a highlight of the yacht, with a magnificent suite with wraparound windows looking onto a private terrace and helicopter deck below. The owners decided to turn the helipad into a grand entertaining platform, which has become a favourite spot for dining al fresco and karaoke.

In summary, Cloud 9 is a superyacht that seamlessly combines luxury, comfort, and functionality, which genuinely reflects the wishes of her owners.

CRN PRESENTS 74-METRE SUPERYACHT “CLOUD 9”

• September 26, 2017

To be on cloud nine is a typical English idiom used to express a state of supreme elation and happiness. And “ Cloud 9 ” is the name chosen by the owner of the new beautiful 74-metre CRN Yachts’ superyacht , probably to express his own feeling of happiness.

Cloud 9 is, first of all, characterized by a streamlined profile and elegantly refined guest areas which allow her to stand out among all the other superyachts of the same category.

The yacht features an excellent balance between interior and exterior spaces, with impressive volume and a high degree of comfort.

More specifically, the qualities of the outside spaces find their highest expression in the private owner’s deck situated forward of the master suite and the beach club with extended platform at sea level. These exceptional open-air areas were all conceived to offer maximum scope for both al fresco enjoyment and entertainment, as specified by the owner.

Cloud 9 can accommodates up to 16 guests across 8 cabins: a master suite, a VIP cabin and 6 double cabins. In addition, accommodation is provided for 26 crew and staff members .

The 5 decks are furnished with elegant colour schemes and an extensive use of oak wood in different guises, juxtaposed with mother-of-pearl elements.

The main deck houses a swimming pool lying athwartships on the aft deck . Indoors, the main saloon is the major proof of the boat’s elegance, enhanced by precious materials and refined furniture. Both flooring and walls are cladded with bleached oak wood.

The main deck also includes a spacious spa area, equipped with a massage table, en-suite bathroom and hair salon. Breath-taking views of the sea can be enjoyed from the fold-down balcony.

The lower deck includes one of the embarkation points. Guests are immediately welcomed by a foyer while an elevator connects the entrance with all the other Cloud 9′ levels.

Forward, there are the galley, the crew areas, the engine room and two garages which can comfortably accommodate two tenders and many water toys.

The upper deck hosts a wonderful open space filled with natural light. Both the saloon and the dining area are decorated with a mural depicting a peaceful sky scene which partially seems to reproduce a fresco of the beautiful Scrovegni Chapel.

The private owner’s deck is the culmination of family relaxation. Just beyond the entrance, an amazing media room with a sofa and an a large TV offers a comfortable space where to enjoy a film or a TV show at night. The distinctive feature of this environment is the mixed white wool and sink carpet stretching all over the floor: an additional touch of elegance that makes the owner’s deck an exclusive truly attractive space.

The master suite is positioned in the bow section and decorated with dark resin back-lit feature lights . Of special mention is the bas-relief decoration on the wall made by a Veneto-based craftsman.

Finally, the Sun Deck is an area where guests can relax while reclining on the loungers or bathing in the jacuzzi. There’s even a water slide where the bravest guests can shoot down from a height of about 13 metres above sea level.

The Cloud 9 is powered by two Caterpillar 3516C-Chd 2000 kW 1600 rpm engines , which deliver a top speed of 16.5 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots.

The yacht will be chartering in the Caribbean next winter with weekly rates from $875,000 . The official presentation is scheduled to take place at Monaco Yacht Show (September 27th-30th), one among the most glamorous yachting events of the year. In the light of all her qualities, there is no doubt that Cloud 9 will be a superstar.

Brand New Superyacht ‘Cloud 9’ To Launch Soon From CRN

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Oliver Pearson   4 January 2017

The second largest CRN superyacht to date, the 74m/243ft motor yacht ‘Cloud 9’ is expected to make her launch from the Italian shipyard in the very near future.

Complete with a side loading tender garage, an enormous beach club, and an impressively voluminous interior, Cloud 9 is sure to be one of the most remarkable superyacht deliveries of 2017.

As well as boasting a 12 meter pool on the main deck aft, and a variety of outdoor living areas, the yacht also features a touch and go helipad on her bow which is capable of supporting helicopters which weigh up to 3000KG.

Making things even more exciting, the visual renderings of Cloud 9 reveal that she includes her very own limousine tender. As well as ensuring guests arrive in style, such a tender also means that those on board are able to get between the mainland and the motor yacht without being exposed to the elements.

Styled by Zuccon, the exterior of superyacht ‘Cloud 9’ is perfectly suited for the world’s warmer cruising grounds, with the Jacuzzi up on the sundeck and the lounging spaces on the upper deck providing plenty of options for guests when they’re not down at the beach club.

Set to deliver the very best in luxury living, superyacht ‘Cloud 9’ appears to anticipate all the needs and desires of those on board

Whilst there are currently no published images of her interior, the designer, Andrew Winch, carried out the styling on the previous superyacht ‘Cloud 9’. Sold in 2016 and renamed the 60m/197ft luxury yacht ‘Ice Angel’ , the use of light tones and traditional furnishings Winch employed when fitting the communal and guest spaces may give some indication of what we might see on the all new ‘Cloud 9’.

Currently undergoing an interior refit, the original Cloud 9 is the sistership to the 60m/197ft motor yacht SLIPSTREAM . Both finished with mirrored glass and dark hulls, it would appear from the renderings that the new Cloud 9 will also feature mirrored glass but will have a much lighter hull.

As she features the same name and interior designer as the former ‘Cloud 9’, the brand new superyacht ‘Cloud 9’ may be available for charter.

Bayesian superyacht sinking: Horror of those trapped in bedrooms described by former captain

A former captain of the Bayesian has described the terrifying obstacles facing those trapped in the cabins as the Bayesian superyacht overturned killing seven.

Stephen Edwards, who captained the Bayesian for five years until 2020, told The Telegraph : “Those who stayed curled up in bed were in the worst situation.

“The storm hit hard, placing them in the melee of flying furniture, glass and other items,” he said adding he had spoken to traumatised crew members.

“Inside the cabins, the only way to think of this is that people were lying in their beds one minute, and the next the room was on its side, totally dark, with the door now either in the floor or in the ceiling above.”

It came as divers race to retrieve Mike Lynch’s personal hard drives locked in a safe on the ocean floor, according to reports.

Italian newspaper la Repubblica reported that the tech billionaire, whose clients included MI5, the NSA and the Israeli secret service, didn’t trust confidential documents on the cloud and kept two encrypted hard drives in a safe which now lies 49 metres below sea level.

Mike Lynch ‘likely died of suffocation’ after running out of oxygen on sunken yacht

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch is likely to have died of suffocation after running out of oxygen, according to a source close to the investigation.

They cited initial examinations carried out on Saturday after the businessman’s body was recovered from the family yacht that sank off Sicily ’s coast last month during a freak weather incident.

Mr Lynch died alongside his 18-year-old daughter, the boat’s chef and four others , who were onboard the British-flagged superyacht Bayesian to celebrate his recent acquittal after a lengthy decade-long legal battle.

Initial results of examinations of Hannah Lynch’s body on Saturday were inconclusive, the source told the Reuters news agency.

Mike Lynch’s yacht was ‘unsinkable’, says boss of company who built boat

Giovanni Costantino, the chief executive of the Italian Sea Group, said there are no flaws with the design and construction of the Bayesian and it is “one of the safest boats in the world”.

The Bayesian, a 184-ft superyacht carrying 22 passengers and crew, was anchored off the port of Porticello, near Palermo, when it disappeared beneath the waves in a matter of minutes after a freak tornado struck.

“The ship sank because it took on water, from where investigators will have to say,” Mr Costantino told television news programme TG1.

He suggested that the sinking was down to a series of human errors.

The CEO said that had the crew shut all doors and hatches, turned on the engine, lifted the anchor, lowered the keel and turned the yacht to face the wind, they would have suffered “zero damage”.

He added that data showed it took 16 minutes from when the wind began for it to sink.

Cartoisio said the tragedy will be even more painful if the sinking was caused by “behaviours that were not aligned to the responsibilities that everyone needs to take in shipping”.

£4billion deal to purchase Mike Lynch’s Darktrace

Darktrace shares are set to stop trading publicly at the end of September, after the company set a timetable for its blockbuster private equity takeover to be completed.

The private equity group Thoma Bravo struck an almost 5.31 billion dollar (£4.3 billion) deal to buy Darktrace in April.

It marks one of the biggest take-private deals for a London-listed company in recent years, and will see Darktrace leave the FTSE 100 on October 1.

Founded in 2013, Cambridge-based Darktrace is a cybersecurity firm best known for using artificial intelligence to scan for hacks and data leaks inside IT networks.

A prominent company in the UK tech landscape, it was among the firms represented at the AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park in November, where world leaders and major tech firms met to discuss the potential threat of artificial intelligence.

The update comes after Poppy Gustafsson stepped down as chief executive earlier in September amid the takeover.

Ms Gustafsson, who co-founded the business in 2013, will be replaced as chief executive by Jill Popelka, the company said.

Ms Gustafsson helped to set up the Cambridge-based company in 2013 alongside Autonomy founder Mike Lynch.

Mr Lynch, and his daughter Hannah, were among seven people to die after the Bayesian superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily last month.

Professor fears more deaths by ‘medicanes’ after Bayesian tragedy

Professor Yoav Yair, Dean of the School of Sustainability at Reichman University in Israel, told the Mirror that storms dubbed ‘medicanes’ - Mediterranean hurricanes - could cause similar sinkings like the Bayesian superyacht.

He said: “It is not a matter of if this (the Bayesian disaster) will happen again, but rather it’s when and where.

“In the last couple of years we have seen medicanes - which are a new phenomena. These are hurricane-like storms that pack a lot of energy, and create flash flooding, torrential rains, lightning, hail and severe sustained winds. The 2023 “Daniel” medicane destroyed Libya and caused over 30,000 deaths there.

“The sea surface temperature has risen globally and in the Med as well, charging the atmosphere with increased fluxes of water vapor, which means a higher potential for massive storms.”

Bodies of Mike Lynch and daughter Hannah flown back to families after Bayesian superyacht sinking

The bodies of those who died after the billionaire Mike Lynch’s Bayesian superyacht sunk off the coast of Sicily have been flown back to their families by private jet.

Italian publication Giornale di Sicilia reported post-mortem examinations were completed at a Palermo hospital and the bodies have now been returned.

My colleague Tom Watling reports:

'Mike Lynch files may be target for hostile spy agencies’

Divers are searching the sea floor for Mike Lynch’s high-tech hard drives before they can fall into enemy hands reports La Repubblica - Italy’s second-biggest newspaper.

Sources told the paper the disks held: “the great digital archive of the IT entrepreneur whose clients included the British MI5, the American NSA and the Israeli services”.

The Italian newspaper said the “super drives” are protected by “cutting-edge encryption”.

The Sun reported the drives now could be a target for the hostile spy agencies of Russia, China, and Iran as they seek to steal valuable secrets.

Captain gives his account of tragic sinking

Captain James Cutfield previously gave his terrifying account before invoking his right to remain silent.

According to Correire, he told prosecutors: “Seaman Griffiths came to wake me up and told me that there were 20 knots of wind.

“I looked at the instruments and indeed that was the case. I went out immediately and asked them to warn everyone because I didn’t like the situation.”

He said the Bayesian tilted 45 degrees “and remained like that for a bit and then suddenly fell to the right.

“We were catapulted into the sea”.

Seaman Matthew Griffiths, 22, said: “We somehow climbed back up to the bridge and tried to form a human chain to save those who managed to reach that gap from the accommodation deck ... they were struggling on the walls because the boat was lying in the water.

“The first in the chain was the captain who stretched down. He helped everyone, the ladies, the mother with the little girl ... But we were sinking and unfortunately some didn’t make it .”

Mr Griffiths joins fellow Brit Tim Parker-Eaton, 56, and Kiwi skipper James Cutfield, 51, on the official list of those being formally investigated for shipwreck and multiple manslaughter.

Being investigated does not equate to being charged and is a procedural step.

Divers hunting for clues on how Mike Lynch’s superyacht sank make discovery

Italian Navy divers have recovered video surveillance equipment from the wreckage of billionaire Mike Lynch’s Bayesian superyacht that could explain how it sank.

The British tech tycoon ’s boat had been moored near the port of Porticello on 19 August when it sank during the early hours of the morning . It is now lying 50m below the surface.

Jabed Ahmed reports:

The video equipment recovered could show if the crews left doors open on the Bayesian superyacht, which might have allowed the vessel to flood

Former captain claims Mike Lynch’s wife was always concerned about boat safety

The wife of Mike Lynch, 57-year-old Angela Bacares managed to escape to safety after suffering cuts from broken glass as she went to try and save her husband and daughter, according to la Repubblica.

The newspaper said she told doctors that at 4am, the boat had tilted and she and her husband were woken up.

Former captain Stephen Edwards told The Telegraph, Ms Bacares “always wants to know what is happening and what the crew are doing”.

“She is always the first person to come up to the bridge if she hears us scuttling about up there. That could explain why she was saved and Mike wasn’t.”

Mike Lynch and daughter Hannah were ‘part of a united, vibrant, loving family’

Family friends of Mike and Hannah Lynch have said the father and daughter were part of a “united, vibrant, loving family” – with the teenager remembered as a “diamond in a sea of stars” and the tech mogul as a brilliant storyteller.

Mr Lynch was the creator of software giant Autonomy and had been cleared in June of carrying out a massive fraud related to its 11 billion dollar (£8.64 billion) sale to US company Hewlett Packard.

His daughter Hannah had recently finished her A-levels and was due to study at Oxford University.

Sasha Murray, chief stewardess of the Bayesian, said: “Those who knew her will know that Hannah was a diamond in a sea of stars. Bright, beautiful and always shining.

“What most people may not have seen was the extraordinarily strong, deep and loving relationship she shared with her parents, whom she adored more than anything.

“While swimming with them she often said, if anything ever happened she would save them.

“I have no doubt that the Irish, Latina fire that burns in her soul kept that spirited determination alive.”

It is understood Ms Murray was rescued after disaster struck the yacht.

Bayesian superyacht ‘sank with Mike Lynch’s two hyper-encrypted hard drives that may contain MI5 secrets’

• James Halpin
• Published : 13:48, 17 Sep 2024
• Updated : 14:23, 17 Sep 2024

THE Bayesian superyacht sank with Mike Lynch's two hyper-encrypted hard drives that may contain MI5 secrets, reports Italian media.

The billionaire businessman tragically died with his daughter on board the doomed yacht off the coast of Sicily last month when the vessel was hit by a tornado.

Reports claim the tech entrepreneur had a pair of hard drives that may hold secret information on the world's most powerful spy agencies on board.

Divers are now scouring the sea floor for the crucial disks at the bottom of the sea before they fall into the wrong hands, reports La Repubblica - Italy's second-biggest newspaper.

Sources told the paper the disks held: "the great digital archive of the IT entrepreneur whose clients included the British MI5, the American NSA and the Israeli services".

The Italian newspaper said the "super drives" are protected by "cutting-edge encryption".

But the drives now could be a target for the hostile spy agencies of Russia, China, and Iran as they seek to steal valuable secrets.

Lynch reportedly did not trust the cloud to save his high-level business secrets so always had the hard drives on him.

The billionaire partly made his wealth by creating algorithms and software widely used by top Western security agencies.

His company Autonomy won high-profile contracts with governments, including a deal to provide infrastructure to the US Homeland Security for the post-9/11 war on terror.

The Bayesian is also reported to hold other documents in the ship's safe that could also be highly valuable.

James Bond fan Lynch also co-founded the cybersecurity company Darktrace and employed high-ranking intelligence agents for the firm.

Investigators from Palermo have pulled no personal effects of the seven victims and 15 survivors from the ocean yet.

But last week, divers recovered surveillance equipment from the yacht that will hopefully be able to shed light on its final moments afloat.

Divers have also recovered the ship's onboard hard drives as they continue their investigation.

However, the ship had no black box and there are worries the Bayesian's hard drives may not be water resistant.

The captain of the doomed Bayesian,  James Cutfield, 51, is being investigated for manslaughter .

Kiwi Cutfield, along with two other members of his crew, are being investigated by Italian authorities for culpable shipwreck and multiple manslaughter.

Prosecutors are also probing ship engineer  Tim Parker-Eaton, from Clophill, Beds, and sailor Matthew Griffith, 22  under the same charges.

The 184 ft Bayesian was carrying 22 people when it sank within minutes of being hit by a downburst - a strong, localised wind - while anchored in Porticello near Palermo.

The  luxury  vessel was caught up in a tornado which caused it to sink in the early hours of the morning.

Fifteen of those on board were rescued on a life raft, while the yacht’s cook Recaldo Thomas was discovered dead in the water shortly afterwards.

Specialist divers recovered the bodies of billionaire Lynch, 59, and four of his guests, from the first cabin on the left.

Officials said the victims had scrambled to reach air pockets in the yacht, which sank 164ft stern-first before rolling onto its right side on the seabed. 

Investigators are understood to be rifling through CCTV footage and photographs taken by locals on the night of the storm to understand why the boat sank so quickly. 

Chief Prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio said the victims would have been asleep when a tornado-like waterspout struck the boat, leaving them unable to escape.

Lynch had just won a court case over the sale of Autonomy to tech giant HP after being accused of fraudulently raising the price.

The 59-year-old had been living under house arrest in San Francisco, US, with just his beloved dog Faucet for company, for well over a year.

He was finally acquitted just months ago and spoke about longing to spend time with his wife, Angela Bacares and their two daughters.

In 1996, he started software company Autonomy, which would be used to analyse huge swathes of data from unstructured sources like phone calls, emails and videos.

Describing his small team he said: “Eccentric people working really hard on a project. No bureaucracy. No admin. Lots of late nights, lots of eating cold pizza”.

Autonomy became an instant success and benefitted from the dotcom boom, which led it to join the FTSE 100 of top UK listed companies. 

The achievements with Mike, the chief executive officer, at the helm led to considerable praise including receiving an OBE for services to enterprise in 2006. 

Inside The Bayesian's final 16 minutes

By Ellie Doughty, Foreign News Reporter

Data recovered from the Bayesian's Automatic Identification System (AIS) breaks down  exactly how it sank  in a painful minute-by-minute timeline.

At 3.50am on Monday August 19 the Bayesian began to shake "dangerously" during a fierce storm, Italian outlet  Corriere  revealed.

Just minutes later at 3.59am the boat's anchor gave way, with a source saying the data showed there was "no anchor left to hold".

After the ferocious weather ripped away the boat's mooring it was dragged some 358 metres through the water.

By 4am it had began to take on water and was plunged into a blackout, indicating that the waves had reached its generator or even engine room.

At 4.05am the  Bayesian fully disappeared  underneath the waves.

An emergency GPS signal was finally emitted at 4.06am to the coastguard station in Bari, a city nearby, alerting them that the vessel had sunk.

Early reports suggested the disaster struck around 5am local time off the coast of Porticello Harbour in Palermo, Sicily.

The new data pulled from the boat's AIS appears to suggest it happened an hour earlier at around 4am.

Some 15 of the 22 onboard were rescued, 11 of them scrambling onto an inflatable life raft that sprung up on the deck.

A smaller nearby boat - named Sir Robert Baden Powell - then helped take those people to shore.
