About SIREN

View all yachts for charter

Built by Nobiskrug, her cool, bright interior is devoid of clutter, creating clean lines and a calm, relaxing ambience throughout. The impressive main salon is a popular chill out area and a large, stylish space for entertaining, with a long dining table for formal dinners. Continuing the indoor/outdoor theme, a circular bar connects the salon with the aft deck which is large enough that all guests can be in the same place without feeling crowded, whether relaxing on the sofas, or the loungers on the raised circular sunbathing platform.

Head to the bridge deck's luxurious indoor movie theatre with its three double daybeds, large screen and blacked out walls for the full cinema experience. Guests love catching up on major sporting events, or watching a movie in the cinema, at any time of day. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the sheltered bridge deck dining area, then take a coffee and a newspaper (printed on board) to the aft seating area and make the most of the morning sun.

The sun deck is the hub of this luxury charter yacht during the day. The forward section is a sunbathing haven with a refreshing jacuzzi, and sun pads at every angle. On the shaded aft deck, take a morning yoga class or an early evening massage then, when it gets dark, kick back on the sofas as the area is transformed into an atmospheric outdoor cinema.

SIREN's accommodation is fresh and tranquil, with six cabins for 12 guests. The master suite is airy and spacious with full length windows, an office and a fold-down balcony. Extensive storage space is provided in the walk-in wardrobe, which leads into large his and hers bathrooms with Lalique fittings. A fold-down double bed can be assembled in the office area and sectioned off to create additional family accommodation.

Four en suite cabins are located on the lower deck, including a VIP with a sofa area and desk, two double cabins and a twin. A further double cabin is positioned on the bridge deck, with an elevator connecting all three interior levels.

Work out in the cool, shaded beach club gym with its fresh air and water level view. Then cool off in the sea-pool, leap off the swim platform or ask the crew to launch the extensive selection of action-packed watertoys.

“While watching the boat slowly taking shape in Rendsburg, we suddenly became aware of how seductive and mysterious she seemed. We just knew then that we had to call her SIREN and we are absolutely delighted with the result.” The Owner

In Greek mythology SIRENs lured sailors with their song…the multi-award-winning SIREN yacht entices with her clean lines and technical finesse.

SIREN’s elegant silhouette…

…attracts attention everywhere she goes and not only along the French coast. The allure of this luxury yacht lies not only in the slender, finely-curved hull lines on her forecastle that make her appear longer than her 74 m, but also in her almost extravagant outside spaces, in those wide corridors and staircases that allow a stroll à deux, side by side and without bottlenecks.

Yet another reason may be the numerous technical innovations that designers and engineers have come up with and that set her apart from other yachts.

…is the world’s first luxury yacht with a hydraulic foldable helicopter platform that can also be used as a sundeck, a dance floor or a stage.

Also the Owner‘s side terrace on SIREN yacht was an innovation of its time.

Siren arrived two years later, also courtesy of Nobiskrug, with a sleek, sporty and timeless profile and a silver-gray hull that “shimmers in the sea and absorbs the light all around.”

As with Triple Seven , large exterior deck spaces are one of Siren ’s key features, with lots of sunbathing options and alfresco dining spots. This is best seen on the sun deck with the jacuzzi, which forms the hub of the yacht. Sunpads forward are twinned with a shaded aft deck for yoga and massage treatments. There is also lounge seating for cozy evenings in front of the outdoor cinema. A second indoor cinema is located on the bridge deck, with three double daybeds and blacked-out walls for the full experience.

“After building Triple Seven , I wanted to change the way we would use Siren to enhance outdoor living space and add clean, uncluttered and simple interiors that allow the sea and surrounding beauty to be the main palette,” Reuben told Robb Report . “At the time it was quite avantgarde, because most yachts were about the interiors, not the outdoor space.”

The beach club—a water-level area that Reuben credits David with dreaming up—highlights this ethos. “The beach club is my favorite place onboard, close to the sea and away from it all,” she says. “It certainly created a trend that all upcoming yachts followed. We have our gym there as well, and I like working out on the swim platform.”

The master suite is defined by its adjoining spaces, with a walk-in wardrobe that leads into large his and hers bathrooms with Lalique fittings. A fold-down double bed can be assembled in the office area and sectioned off to create additional family accommodation. Four ensuite cabins are located on the lower deck, including a VIP with a sofa area and desk, two double cabins and a twin. A fifth double cabin is positioned on the bridge deck, with an elevator connecting all three interior levels.

It was during the design of Triple Seven’s minimalist interior by Newcruise Design that Reuben was introduced to Katharine Raczek, a recent graduate who just started working at the Hamburg-based studio. She enlisted the young designer to assist with Siren .

“The design brief was that it shouldn’t feel like a yacht interior but more like an airy apartment overlooking Central Park in New York or Hyde Park in London,” says Raczek. “It had to be more modern than Triple Seven in a radical way.”

Across the interior, silk hand-knotted carpets, fine wool and cashmere are twinned with straight, curly and birdseye maple, black-veined limestone and marble. Bleached maple veneer is used for the interior walls. As a design highlight, Raczek points to the floating central staircase that wraps around the elevator. It’s underlit, so it appears to “dance at night” on the open, foldable helipad.

“I resolved to use as few interior finishes as possible to create an environment of calm and serenity,” says Reuben. “I also didn’t want to be too precious, as I have a large family with grandchildren and wanted a yacht where no areas would be off limits.”

“I love Siren ’s design and tend to keep renewing her with the same fabrics, keeping her as fresh as the first day I embarked,” says Reuben. “I feel joy each time I approach her on the tender. She is my great love.”

Sharing the love is possible, since Siren is up for charter via Burgess Yachts.

INQUIRE ABOUT SIREN

‘Siren’ is a 241.14ft /73.5m custom motor yacht built in 2008 by Nobiskrug and last refitted in 2013. Her beautiful exterior and interior design is the work of Newcruise.

Maker of bayesian yacht blames crew for ‘indescribable, unreasonable errors’ in doomed vessel’s sinking.

The CEO of the company that built the $40 million yacht that sank off the coast of Sicily this week has blamed the crew for the tragedy — saying they had 16 minutes and could have easily saved the seven who died.

“The boat suffered a series of indescribable, unreasonable errors,” Giovanni Costantino, CEO of the Italian Sea Group, told Reuters of the Bayesian sinking Monday, killing seven of the 22 onboard.

“The impossible happened on that boat … but it went down because it took on water. From where, the investigators will tell,” he said.

Blaming the crew for the “incredible mistake” of not being prepared for the storm, he said: “This is the mistake that cries out for vengeance.”

Costantino, whose company includes Perini Navi, the Italian high-end yacht maker that built the 183-foot superyacht in 2008, staunchly defended its construction — saying it had survived far more extreme storms during 22 years of trouble-free navigation.

Instead, he expressed horror that the crew was unable to save the seven who died — including the Bayesian’s owner, British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, and his 18-year-old daughter, Hannah.

He said the crew had a 16-minute window before the craft sank — plenty of time to get everyone to safety.

“The torture lasted 16 minutes,” he told the Financial Times.

“It went down, not in one minute as some scientists have said. It went down in 16 minutes. You can see it from the charts, from the AIS [Automatic Identification System] tracking chart,” he said.

Additionally, doors and hatches should have been closed, and the keel should have been lowered to increase stability, among other safety measures, Costantino said.

Had correct procedures been followed, all passengers would have gone back to sleep after one hour, “and the next morning they would have happily resumed their wonderful cruise,” he added.

“The captain should have prepared the boat and put it in a state of alert and of safety.”

“Ask yourself — why were none of the Porticello fishermen out that night? A fisherman checks the conditions and a ship doesn’t? The disturbance was completely readable on all the weather maps. It was impossible not to know,” he said.

What to know after a tornado sank the yacht Bayesian off the coast of Sicily:

• A superyacht capsized off the coast of Sicily after a tornado hit the area early Monday, killing seven passengers.
• British tech tycoon Mike Lynch was identified as one of the bodies pulled from the wreckage. His teenage daughter, Hannah, was the final one to be recovered.
• Lynch — known as “Britain’s Bill Gates” — had invited guests from Clifford Chance, a legal firm that represented him, and Invoke Capital, his own company, on the voyage,  according to the Telegraph . 
• Security camera footage shot from 650 feet from where the  Bayesian sank Monday  shows it disappearing.
• A rare and unexpected “black swan” weather event may have led to the  Bayesian’s speedy demise , maritime experts say.

Bayesian had 22 people on board — 12 passengers and 10 crew — when it capsized and sank during a storm while anchored off the coast of northern Sicily.

Of those on board, 15 people — including Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares — were rescued after escaping onto a lifeboat. 

Rescue divers located Lynch’s teen daughter Friday, the final missing person, the Italian coast guard said.   

The bodies of the other dead passengers, including Lynch and New York attorney Christopher Morvillo, were recovered Wednesday and Thursday from inside the hull of the sunken yacht. Those on board were there to help Lynch celebrate his recent acquittal in a major US fraud trial. 

Meanwhile, Italian authorities launched a manslaughter investigation into what downed the $40 million yacht after it was struck by an intense storm early Monday, local media reported.

The Prosecutor’s Office of Termini Imerese had started making inquiries and was looking at a slew of offenses — including “shipwreck and multiple counts of culpable homicide against an unknown person,” sources told Palermo Today.

Mike Lynch’s friend mourns ‘unbelievably tragic’ death after fraud trial acquittal

Mike Lynch ’s legacy “should be celebrated” a friend has said, following his death.

The body of the technology tycoon has been recovered after a luxury yacht sank off the coast of Sicily earlier this week.

His 18-year-old daughter reportedly remains missing.

After news of Lynch’s death was confirmed, his friend Brent Hoberman described him as “a titan and a figurehead”.

“We were all hoping for a miracle,” Mr Hoberman told Sky News.

“It is important - now his passing is confirmed - to think about his legacy... It’s important that his legacy is celebrated.”

Who is Mike Lynch? A look at the British tech tycoon killed when his yacht sank off Sicily

Italy Boaters Missing FILE - British tech magnate Mike Lynch walks into federal court in San Francisco, March 26, 2024, (AP Photo/Michael Liedtke, File) (Michael Liedtke/AP)

Tech tycoon Mike Lynch, who died after his yacht sank off Sicily, had been trying to move past a Silicon Valley debacle that had tarnished his legacy as an icon of British ingenuity.

Lynch, 59, struck gold when he sold Autonomy, a software maker he founded in 1996, to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion in 2011 . But the deal quickly turned into an albatross for him after he was accused of cooking the books to make the sale and fired by HP's then-CEO Meg Whitman.

His death, confirmed on Thursday by Italian officials after they recovered his body and five others from the sea, was a dramatic turn of events that came after he was cleared of criminal charges in the U.S. in June.

Before becoming entangled with HP, Lynch was widely hailed as a visionary who inspired descriptions casting him as the British version of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

Lynch was science and technology adviser to two British prime ministers. He also founded Invoke Capital, a venture capital firm that was a founding investor of British cybersecurity company Darktrace, and Luminance, an artificial intelligence platform for the legal industry.

Lynch was “an instrumental figurehead from the Cambridge (England) technology scene," said friend Brent Hoberman, former CEO of travel website lastminute.com. Hoberman told the BBC that Lynch was "leading the path forward for U.K. entrepreneurs to commercialize their inventions at a global scale.”

A decade-long legal battle had resulted in Lynch's extradition from the U.K. to face criminal charges of engineering a massive fraud against HP, a company that helped shape Silicon Valley's zeitgeist after starting in a Palo Alto, California, garage in 1939.

Lynch steadfastly denied any wrongdoing, asserting that he was being made a scapegoat for HP's own bungling — a position he maintained while testifying before a jury during a 2 1/2 month trial in San Francisco earlier this year. U.S. Justice Department prosecutors called more than 30 witnesses in an attempt to prove allegations that Lynch engaged in accounting duplicity that bilked billions of dollars from HP.

The trial ended up vindicating Lynch and he pledged to return to the U.K. and explore new ways to innovate.

Although he avoided a possible prison sentence, Lynch still faced a civil case in London that HP mostly won during 2022. Damages haven't been determined in that case, but HP is seeking $4 billion. Lynch made more than $800 million from the Autonomy sale.

Forbes pegged his wealth $1 billion in 2015, the only year he was on the magazine’s rich list. Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper estimated this year that Lynch and his wife Angela Bacares were worth 500 million pounds ($655 million).

Lynch, a Cambridge-educated mathematician, made his mark running Autonomy, which made a search engine that could pore through emails and other internal business documents to help companies find vital information more quickly. Autonomy's steady growth during its first decade resulted in Lynch being awarded one of the U.K's highest honors, the Office of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 2006.

John Browne, chair of Francis Crick Institute, a biomedical research institute, and former head of energy giant BP, said Lynch’s “ideas and his personal vision were a powerful contribution to science and technology in both Britain and globally.”

The Royal Academy of Engineering, where Lynch was a Fellow, said it was “deeply saddened” to learn of his death and that he played an “active role” as a mentor and donor.

In the months leading up to the deal that would go awry, HP valued Autonomy at $46 billion, according to evidence presented at Lynch's trial.

The trial also presented contrasting portraits of Lynch. Prosecutors painted him as an iron-fisted boss obsessed with hitting revenue targets, even if it meant resorting to duplicity. But his lawyers cast him as entrepreneur with integrity and a prototypical tech nerd who enjoyed eating cold pizza late at night while pondering new ways to innovate.
