Often you will also find a host or hostess onboard who is dedicated to ensuring your drinks and wishes are filled ensuring your time aboard is an unforgettable luxury experience. Sometimes a chef is also found on board or can be included should you wish, both the chef and the hostess are invaluable for week-long charters, ensuring your onboard dining experience is a personalised affair, tailored to suit your dietary needs and requirements. The experience is unparalleled, allowing you to enjoy long lazy lunches as you drop anchor off the coast of a beautiful beach or cove and gaze at the crystal-clear water. Or if you prefer to dine at a restaurant, we can pre-arrange reservations at one of the many excellent restaurants in Ibiza and Formentera.

Most Ibiza superyachts tend to be moored in Ibiza Town, in Marina Botafoch and Marina Magna. This allows you to stay onboard overnight and taking advantage of your excellent location, which offers excellent access to the best that Ibiza has to offer – fine dining, nightlife and super clubs like Pacha, Heart and Lio virtually on your doorstep.

LUXURY YACHT CHARTER IBIZA

Most have an onboard selection of seatoys, including Seabobs and JetSkis, inflatables and paddle boards. These sea toys are ideal for empting you to dive-in, spend as much time on the water as possible. Perfect for the adventurous and non-adventurous alike these sea toys enable you to fully embrace your surroundings, cooling off in the refreshing, clear sea and and exploring your surroundings.

Most superyachts have a tender in the garage, making it easy to go ashore to explore the beaches, visit restaurants or enjoy the vibrant beach clubs that Ibiza is so notoriously famous for. Depending on where you go and how long you stay there, fuel consumption per day is estimated at at an average of around 1-2 hours. From Ibiza Town it is a short journey to many places;  Formentera  – the beach at Illetas, the bays of Cala Saona or Es Pujols, the privately-owned island of Espalmador, that is only accessible by boat, or the beautiful bays on Ibiza such as Salinas which is famous for its restaurants and in-crowd, Cala Jondal which plays host to the famous Blue Marlin beach club and restaurant and the beautiful bay and cliffs of Es Cubells. The beauty of the islands will be revealed as you cruise along the coastline and through the crystal-clear waters.

Ibiza Yacht Charters

Ibiza superyacht charter guests come for unbridled escapism on its sun-drenched dancefloors, but equally for the bohemian spirit that permeates this shimmering isle.

Amid blossoming mango and fig-laden trees hides a melting pot of captivating calas , where you can uncover seldom-visited silky arcs of sand and float in mellow waters caressed by the gentle Mediterranean .

Coupled with its top-end superyacht marinas, fine gastronomy, markets fizzling with life, and enviable climate – over 300 days of sunshine each year – Ibiza's pull is magnetic.

• Iconic club scene Ibiza's nightlife is nothing short of legendary, replete with its hip beach bars and clubs, attracting a distinguished clientele for decades.
• Glossy bohemia Upscale boho vibes are just as ubiquitous to the White Isle as its exuberant party ambiance.
• Superb superyacht marinas Well-provisioned, picturesque marinas are dotted along this glittering isle.
• Beaches, calas, and inlets abound And all are hugged by serene, bathwater-warm seas. It's no wonder Ibiza perennial attracts party-goers and families alike.
• Effortless island-hopping For those eager for adventure, the achingly beautiful islands of Mallorca, Menorca, and Formentera are within easy reach on your yacht.

Guests on an Ibiza yacht charter vacation can choose to embrace the island’s hedonistic side in its numerous bars and beach clubs, with some of the best found in San Antonio and on the celebrated sands of Las Salinas . Here you can truly indulge your party animal, alongside a raft of A-listers and hip elites who all convene under the sets of world-class DJs for night-long fiestas till sunrise. Throughout summer there are also numerous festivals which locals celebrate with fireworks, including the magnificent pyrotechnic display every August that celebrates the fiesta of Saint Bartholomew , with superyacht guests enjoying the best views from the sea. 

For those looking for something more tranquil, there are myriad secluded anchorages and private golden-hued bays to be found peppered around the outskirts of the island, with some of the best beaches only accessible by yacht, such as the orange-scented Es Cubells known for its authentic quality restaurants and beautiful clear waters, and Sa Cova de Xarraca – a curve of golden sands set in a beautiful deep and turquoise bay, tucked away around the rocks from its slightly busier cousin Cala Zarraca in the north of the island.

The most harmonious union with an Ibiza yacht charter naturally involves cruising to its sensational sister islands. Mallorca , the biggest isle of them all, is a hive of activity that dazzles with its luxe marinas and a spellbinding number of beaches (262 of them in fact). Calmer Menorca is teeming with barely-frequented coves and thrilling diving spots, whilst diminutive Formentera fascinates with its Caribbean-like appearance.

Alternatively, for those looking to incorporate mainland Spain, Barcelona , Valencia or Dénia are all superyacht hotspots

Who Goes on an Ibiza Yacht Charter?

Ibiza is the glittering jewel in the Balearics’s treasure chest, representing the perfect combination of hedonism and tranquillity – where you’ll find buzzy beach clubs and upscale dining vying for your attention with beautiful sand beaches lapped by clear turquoise waters. On top of this, visitors can immerse themselves in the island’s rich cultural history in Ibiza’s glorious Old Town.

The island attracts many A-listers and Hollywood glitterati, who come here to soak up the superyacht lifestyle and luxurious atmosphere in a medley of 5-star resorts, wellness spas and exclusive night clubs.

Part of the “Fabulous Four” in the Balearics archipelago, Ibiza was originally founded by Phoenician settlers in 654 BC and became a regular stop on the Mediterranean trade route, producing goods such as dye, salt and wool. Over the centuries Ibiza has been conquered by the likes of the Romans, Moors and even Nowegians, although eventually enjoyed autonomous rule until after the War of Spanish Succession in the 18th Century when King Philip V of Spain imposed strict rules and language on the island. At this point the Catholic church ran much of Ibiza’s affairs, including the building of several churches.

Tourism on the island began to flourish in the early 1930s after the introduction of a regular ferry from the mainland, with the subsequent development of major beach resorts in the 1950s transforming it into a major tourist hub. An influx of bohemians in the 1960s, who embraced the island’s mystical allure, greatly added to the island’s creative tilt. Today, Ibiza is a popular hotspot for visitors drawn to its utopian beaches, boho vibe and uber cool nightclubs.

Fully embrace the magic of Ibiza with a dusting of high-end glamor and choose a crewed motor yacht charter or sailing yacht charter.

As a perennial favorite destination for yacht charters in Spain , guests have ample choice when it comes to selecting a crewed charter yacht. Not sure what type of vessel to pick in Ibiza? Let's narrow down the main differences between the two:

Motor Yacht Charters in Ibiza

A crewed motor yacht charter in Ibiza is an haute-luxe affair. Think superlative amenities and services akin to a five-star hotel, combined with your own world-class chef and unparalleled freedom. Savor the thrill of being able to cruise towards blissfully secluded spots only accessible by boat, and whip out the water toys for a spin on Ibiza's calm coast. Tiptoe down to remote coves ensconced in aquamarine waters for lazy lunches or underworld adventures, before cocooning in your own private paradise.

Sailing Yacht Charters in Ibiza

The scintillating Ibizan temperatures from May till October provide a splendid climate for a sailing yacht charter. As an island known for its sun-kissed days gently cooled by slight northern winds, navigation is a breeze. Siestas are a beloved part of the rhythm of daily life here, so why not opt for a sailing yacht that mirrors this deliciously slower pace, and make the most of these vessels' wide decks for sunbathing or dining al-fresco.

With so many options available, there’s something to suit every type of budget. For convenience we have listed the average prices for motor yacht and sailing yacht charters in Ibiza below;

• For motor yacht rentals in Ibiza, prices can range from $35,741 to $2.3m per week, plus expenses
• For luxury sailing yacht rentals in Ibiza, prices can go from $33,999 to $219,800 weekly, plus expenses

Related articles

As well as the Ibiza yacht charter fee itself (plus any delivery or redelivery costs), you will need to pay VAT. But how much does VAT cost for yacht charters in Ibiza? Below are the main points you need to consider before chartering:

• VAT is charged at 21% in Ibiza and the rest of the Balearics (and mainland Spain) for yachts with a Spanish charter license. This applies if you begin or end your charter here
• EU-flagged yachts can charter anywhere in Spain
• For non-EU flagged yachts, charters can only take place in the Balearic Islands and Barcelona

A 24% Non-Resident Income Tax may apply if the owning company has fiscal residency in a country that does not currently have in force a dual taxation treaty with Spain

For additional information on VAT and extra fees concerning your yacht charter in Ibiza, please consult your chosen yacht charter broker .

May till the end of October  are the best times to visit Ibiza's pine-fragranced shores. Averaging 23-24 degrees in May, the temperatures start to climb in July and August (Ibiza's peak season) reaching 31 degrees.

Turquoise-sea dips in Ibiza are also invitingly warm, reaching a peak of 26 degrees in August.

Most Ibiza yacht charters will commence in Ibiza Town, where you can arrange for the yacht to be berthed in a slip for the night. There are two main harbors here, with the largest and most well-equipped being Marina Ibiza – home to numerous upscale bars and restaurants as well as celebrated clubs Blue Marlin , Lio and Pacha , great for kicking things off in style.

Ibiza Old Town is also perfect for exploring the island’s cultural roots and guests can spend their first day meandering the winding lanes, awash with colorful daubed houses and cafes that spill out onto the narrow pavements, all adding to the magical allure.

Sample itineraries

The Ibiza yachting scene is undeniably glitzy and redolent of lives well-lived. With outstanding marinas replete with exclusive restaurants and ultra-chic bars all fringed by waters with a pale topaz glow, it's no wonder berths here are so sought-after. Here are the best superyacht marinas in Ibiza.

• Ibiza Magna Marina: located in a prime position by the charming Old Town, this marina has over 85 berths for yachts up to 60m.
• Sovren Marina: situated in the heart of Ibiza, this highly exclusive marina has 16 berths for superyachts between 60m to 185m.
• Marina Ibiza: stylish marina with 425 berth capacity for yachts up to 110m.
• San Antonio Marina : nestled on Ibiza's West Coast with moorings for 578 yachts up to 55m.

For nights not spent in a marina, Ibiza is brimming with beautiful anchorage spots. One of our top picks is Cala Jondal – a long sweeping crescent of sparkling blue waters backed by smoky pines which the superyacht set flock to each year. Another top pick is the urbane-cool of Blue Marlin Beach Club and its billowing ivory cabanas beckon the most discerning jet-setters here, who sip sundowners as an apricot glow dapples the shorefront.

Further north-west, the blindingly pretty Es Cubells is where the glitterati settles for a less frenetic pace. Citrus-scented, the village is populated by clouds of bougainvillea whose petals fall like confetti in front of whitewashed fincas . Jade-blanketed cliffs cradle three quiet coves, so slip on some scuba gear or doze happily on one of its intimate beaches before jumping back on board.

Next, cruise towards the solitude of  Cala d'Hort, a cove that's one part pearly-white white sands to two-parts eye-popping teal sea. You'll have an excellent vantage point here of the ethereal Es Vedrá, a lonely limestone cliff that soars majestically from the water. From your sundeck Jacuzzi, you will also be in prime position to marvel at the sunset perform its nightly arabesques, veering vividly from vermillion to magenta in minutes.

One of Ibiza's liveliest and well-known coves, golden  Cala Bassa curves sweepingly into a pool of water tinted an unfathomable shade of turquoise. Tanned party-goers saunter down to its celebrated beach club for aperitifs on plumped-up daybeds, before hopping back on their superyacht to reach nearby San Antonio and shimmying till dawn.

In the north, opt for spine-tinglingly gorgeous Cala Portinatx for a glorious strip of unspoiled coastline. Watersports abound here, and hiking trail excursions providing vertiginous sea views of the glass-clear aquamarine shallows below. Seek refuge at  Aguas Blancas , lingering at its tranquil beach and soaking up its laid-back bohemian atmosphere. Pay a visit to the much-loved chiringuito  for a steaming paella after a sun-baked day's subaquatic exploration.

• Consider chartering a yacht on either side of the shoulder season in Ibiza if you would prefer fewer crowds. This is either April to May or September to October.
• In the Balearic Islands, anchoring directly above Posidonia (type of seagrass) preservation areas are not allowed, with fines issued if you break the rules. Protected anchorage zones in the Balearics include: Cabrera, Sa Dragonera, Cala Blava, Portopetro, Punta de L’Avançada and Cala d’Or
• You may find that whilst cruising in the Balearics some bays have color-coded buoys according to boat length. This is to help protect underwater flora and they must be obeyed.
• Most shops will close each day from 2 pm till 5 pm for an afternoon siesta.
• If you are interested in experiencing Ibiza nightlife, remember that most clubs do not open till at least midnight.
• Some coves in Ibiza (such as Aguas Blancas) have areas reserved for nudists.
• Whilst exploring onshore, it is handy to have cash on you, as a considerable number of small, independent businesses in the Balearics will not accept card payment. Luckily, there are plenty of cashpoints dotted around the marinas.

We strongly advise booking well in advance of your planned Ibiza yacht charter to ensure you get the perfect vessel for your selected dates. We recommend booking at least 3 months ahead to give your broker the time to organize a sublime bespoke yacht charter and book ahead for the nights you intend to spend in marinas. This is particularly pertinent to the Balearics, where fewer West Mediterranean yachts are in the region during peak season, and a Spanish charter license will need to be obtained.

Ibiza Yacht Charter Q&A

For most Ibiza yacht charters to be secured, you will usually need to provide a completed charter agreement and 50% of the charter fee as a deposit. This is payable once the contract has been signed.

You will have a greater variety of yachts to pick from if you decide to start your charter in Ibiza or Mallorca compared to mainland destinations. Whilst Barcelona certainly has a considerable array of yachts to choose from, it is not as extensive as the islands. 

We also strongly recommend that you book your yacht charter in Ibiza at least three months in advance to ensure you get the yacht you desire. The longer you leave it, you'll find you'll have less choice available.

There is a yacht to suit almost every budget in Ibiza so rest assured that you will find a vessel suitable to your requirements.

But when booking do keep in mind the costs that aren't included in the base rate, namely VAT and the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance). The APA is usually paid in advance of the charter and is commonly set at 30% of the charter fee. This allowance covers expenses such as fuel, berthing, food and drinks, as well as any special requests. 

Please consult your yacht charter broker for any other costs you may need to factor in.

May through till October is the best time to visit the sun-drenched shores of Ibiza. Temperatures can rise to a heady 31 degrees in July and August, with its waters reaching 26 degrees respectively.

Yachts will need to obtain a Spanish charter licence in order to cruise Ibizan waters, this is applicable if you are beginning or ending your charter in Spain.

Find the best Ibiza yacht that meets your requirements by browsing on our website the selection of luxury motor yachts and sailing yachts to charter in Ibiza. All you need to do is pick your chosen dates, number of guests, yacht type, features, and desired onboard toys and we'll show you what's available.

If you make a booking enquiry, a yacht charter broker will then contact you and craft a bespoke charter proposal for Ibiza.

Renting a boat in Ibiza

Located in the archipelago of the Balearic Islands, Ibiza is sometime considered as the “little sister” of Majorca and Menorca’s islands. However, in terms of popularity, Ibiza is huge. A natural gem of the Mediterranean Sea, Ibiza has a thrilling nature which would be a shame to miss.

Rent a boat in Ibiza and profit from a shoreline of 210 kilometers. There are approximately 90 kilometers of sandy beaches and lovely bays eagerly awaiting to be discovered. During the daytime, you can enjoy a wide range of cultural activities, water sports, boutiques and cafés. The island is rather small, which makes it very pedestrian-friendly. Even if Ibiza is enjoyable for a daytrip, the city is well known for its liveliness at night. The Balearic Islands are a mecca for party enthusiasts and nightlife lovers. Every single day, thousands of people meet on stylish terraces and night after night, you can dance in internationally known clubs to the beats of famous DJs.

When renting a yacht in Ibiza, choose between different types of boats with or without skipper or bareboat and get to know the beautiful area.

Pricing and Information about hiring a boat in Ibiza

Ibiza follows the normal season pattern as the rest of Spain. The high season typically starts around May and goes into early September. If you're looking to charter a yacht in Ibiza, you'll have to keep in mind that rentals during the season are typically one week. 

If you're looking for a yacht charter during the high season, the prices are on average between 400€ and 500€ per day for a catamaran rental in Ibiza and between 300€ to 400€ for a sailboat. Depending on your project, you can rent all boats with a skipper or as a bareboat. For motorboats, the prices have a bigger range depending on your project. Motorboats typically start at 200€ per day and go up all the way to luxury motor yachts. 

Do you need a license to rent a yacht in Ibiza? 

When renting a boat in Ibiza, there are two cases where you will absolutely need a license. If you are renting a motor boat with more than 15hp and length more than 4 meters, a license is obligatory. If you are renting a sailboat in Ibiza , a license is mandatory if the boat is longer than 5 meters. In both cases, you will have to present a nautical CV detailing your previous experience with regards to what boats you captained and what waters you've sailed. 

If you do not have enough experience, would like to learn more, or if you simply want to have a stress free holiday, rent a boat with a skipper and let them handle the driving. Another perk of having a local skipper is that they know the area very well, since they are locals. Let them guide you to the hidden gems of Ibiza. 

Overview of Ibiza

Departing from Ibiza will quickly make you realize how scenic and popular the island is. It is the most popular place to rent a boat in the Balearic Islands . Even though the island is relatively small, it is full of activities both on land and on the water. The history of Ibiza Town as well as the rest of the island will give you a plenty to experience from a cultural perspective. 

Even though the Island is synonymous with a thriving night life and an international party hub, you can also experience a quiet, relaxing vacation. Avoiding the huge population of tourists is easy if you drop anchor in one of the lonely bays of Cala Llentrisca or Cala Sa Caixota.

Who was onboard tech mogul Mike Lynch's Bayesian yacht?

Topic: Disasters, Accidents and Emergency Incidents

Six people are missing, including a man dubbed the British Bill Gates, after a luxury yacht sank off the Sicilian coast.

British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch — freshly acquitted from a decade-long trial — had invited his work colleagues aboard a trip through the Mediterranean coast when a freak storm saw the yacht sink within moments.

Fifteen people escaped from the sinking vessel. The search for the missing continues.

Here's what we know so far: 

What happened?

The Italian coastguard said the yacht — the Bayesian — was anchored off the shore of port city Porticello, near the Sicilian capital Palermo, when it was hit by bad weather sometime after 4am on Monday, local time. 

Eyewitnesses said it vanished quickly beneath the waves shortly before dawn.

Managers of the sailing vessel Bayesian, Camper & Nicholsons, confirmed to the ABC that the Bayesian encountered severe weather and subsequently sank. 

"Our priority is assisting with the ongoing search and providing all necessary support to the rescued passengers and crew," they said. 

"The wind was very strong. Bad weather was expected, but not of this magnitude," a coastguard official told Reuters.

Sicily's civil protection agency head, Salvo Cocina, said a waterspout — a tornado over the water — could have struck the yacht.

"They were in the wrong place at the wrong time," Mr Cocina added. 

Storms and heavy rainfall had swept down Italy in recent days after weeks of scorching heat, lifting the temperature of the Mediterranean Sea to record levels and raising the risk of extreme weather conditions, experts told Reuters.

"The sea surface temperature around Sicily was around 30 degrees Celsius, which is almost 3 degrees more than normal. This creates an enormous source of energy that contributes to these storms," meteorologist Luca Mercalli said.

Captain Karsten Borner of the Sir Robert Baden Powell vessel told journalists he noticed the Bayesian nearby during the storm, but after it calmed he saw a red flare and realised the ship had simply disappeared.

Mr Borner said he and a crew member boarded their tender and found a lifeboat with 15 people, some of them injured, who they then took aboard and alerted the coast guard.

Search crews, including helicopters and divers, are continuing to search the wreckage, lying at a depth of 49 metres.

Specialist divers reached the ship on Monday but access was limited due to objects in the way, the fire brigade said.

The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch is deploying a team of four inspectors to Italy to conduct a preliminary assessment.

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development office said it was "providing consular support to a number of British nationals and their families".

Sicilian prosecutors have also opened an investigation into the event. 

Who is missing?

Lawyer Chris Morvillo (left), entrepreneur Mike Lynch, and Morgan Stanley chairman Jonathan Bloomer are among the missing. 

There were 12 passengers and 10 crew members aboard the yacht. 

Mr Cocina said the crew and passengers hailed from a variety of countries, including Britain, the United States, Antigua, France, Germany, Ireland, Myanmar, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Spain.

Of the 22, one man is confirmed dead and another six people are still missing. 

They are believed to be inside the hull, fire rescue spokesperson Luca Cari said.

Fabio Cefalù, a fisherman who said he responded to a flare from the vessel but found it sunk, said he stayed at the site for three hours without finding anyone.

"I think they are inside, all the missing people," he said.

Rescue teams recovered the body of the yacht's onboard chef on Monday, identified as Antiguan citizen Ricardo Thomas.

The still missing people include: 

• Mr Lynch's 18-year-old daughter, Hannah 
• Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of global financial services company Morgan Stanley International
• Chris Morvillo , a lawyer at the British multinational law firm Clifford Chance. He worked on Mr Lynch's lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard
• The identities of the remaining two missing are still unconfirmed

Who was rescued? 

Fifteen people escaped from the sinking ship. 

Eight have been hospitalised and others were taken to a nearby hotel.

Among those rescued were:

• Mr Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, who was the owner of the yacht
• Charlotte Golunski and her one-year-old daughter, Sofia. Ms Golunski is a partner at Mr Lynch's firm, Invoke Capital. She says she momentarily lost hold of Sofia in the water but managed to hold her up above the waves until the lifeboat was inflated
• Ms Golunski's husband James Emslie
• New Zealand captain of the yacht James Catfield. He told Italian newspaper La Repubblica the crew didn't see the storm coming
• A lone Dutch citizen was identified by the Dutch foreign ministry as being rescued, but was not identified

Who is Mike Lynch?

Mr Lynch, once hailed as Britain’s king of technology, was recently freed from a Silicon Valley lawsuit that tarnished his legacy. 

The 59-year-old Cambridge-educated mathematician created Autonomy , a search engine that could pore through emails and other internal business documents to help companies find vital information more quickly. 

He received the OBE for his innovation in 2006. 

He then sold the software to Hewlett-Packard (HP) for $US11 billion ($16 billion) in 2011, with Mr Lynch personally netting $US800 million. 

HP valued Autonomy at $US46 billion ($68 billion) in the months leading up to the deal.

But the deal quickly turned sour after he was accused of forging the software's financial records to make the sale.

As part of a decades-long legal battle against HP, Mr Lynch was extradited to the UK on criminal fraud charges. 

He steadfastly denied any wrongdoing, asserting that he was being made a scapegoat for HP's own bungling. 

He was eventually cleared of all charges in June this year. 

Although he avoided a possible prison sentence, Lynch still faced a bill from a civil case in London that HP mostly won during 2022. Damages haven't been determined in that case, but HP is seeking $US4 billion. 

Following the San Francisco trial, Mr Lynch said he would return to the UK and do what he loved most: "[being with] my family and innovating in my field."

The holiday appeared to be something of a celebration after Mr Lynch's acquittal, with guests including some of the people who had stood by Lynch throughout the ordeal.

In a separate act of tragedy, Mr Lynch's co-defendant in the trial, Stephen Chamberlain, died on Monday, after a road accident left him critically injured.

Mr Chamberlain — Autonomy's former vice-president of finance alongside Mr Lynch — was hit by a car in Cambridgeshire on Saturday morning and had been placed on life support. 

What is the Bayesian?

The luxury yacht is 56m long sailboat, with a 75m mast labelled as the tallest aluminium mast in the world.

It was previously named Salute when it flew under a Dutch flag.

The yacht, built in 2008 by the Italian firm Perini Navi, can accommodate up to 12 guests in six suites and a crew of 10, according to online specialist yacht sites. It was last refitted in 2020.

Online charter sites listed it for rent for up to 195,000 euros (about $AU 321,000) a week.

The ship also won a string of awards for its design. 

Ms Golunski said the yacht had travelled through the Aeolian Islands, Milazzo and Cefalù before sinking. 

It is likely the yacht's name would resonate with Mr Lynch because his PhD thesis and the software that made his fortune was based on Bayesian theory.

Tornado likely sank luxury yacht off coast of Sicily, officials say, as search for survivors continues

Updated on: August 20, 2024 / 7:56 PM EDT / CBS/AP

Police divers resumed searching Tuesday for six people believed trapped in the hull of a superyacht that sank in deep seas off Sicily, including a British tech magnate who was celebrating his recent acquittal on fraud charges with the people who had defended him at trial.

Civil protection officials said they believed the Bayesian, a 184-foot British-flagged yacht, had been struck by a tornado over the water. The ship had been moored about a half-mile offshore off Porticello near Palermo when a storm rolled and the vessel sank at about 5 a.m. local time on Monday . 

Grainy film from closed-circuit cameras from shore, broadcast on the website of the Giornale di Sicilia, showed the majestic, illuminated 246-foot mast of the Bayesian weathering the storm and then disappearing over the course of a minute.

Fifteen of the 22 people aboard survived, including a mother who reported holding her 1-year-old baby over the waves to save her. One body was recovered, identified by officials as the Antiguan-born on-board chef. The rest of the 10-person crew survived, including the captain whom prosecutors reportedly sought to interview.

However, CBS News senior weather producer David Parkinson said Tuesday that it's still too early to determine whether the yacht was hit by a waterspout or a downburst. A waterspout is a meteorological term for a tornado over water, while a downburst consists of powerful winds that descend from a thunderstorm and can often be misinterpreted as a tornado, according to the National Weather Service.

As of now, Parkinson said, it's only safe to say that the yacht was impacted by a severe thunderstorm. Based on satellite imagery, there were strong to violent thunderstorms in the area where the yacht sank, Parkinson said.

That said, early Monday morning conditions were appropriate for either the development of a waterspout or a downburst, Parkinson explained. At around 4 a.m. local time Monday, the winds spiked, with wind gusts above 43 mph in Palermo. About 10 minutes later in the town of Aspra — which is 20 miles from Palermo and three to four miles west of where the boat sank — wind gusts of 51 mph were recorded, and the thunderstorms appeared to intensify as they moved east.

In cases of downbursts, when wind hits the water's surface, it increases the wind speed, Parkinson said. While at the time the boat sank, water temperatures were 84 degrees Fahrenheit, which would be warm enough to support the development of a waterspout, Parkinson said. 

"It's a great, great tragedy," said Britain's ambassador to Italy, Edward Llewellyn, who visited Porticello on Tuesday. Britain sent four investigators to the scene, given the disaster involved a British-flagged ship and British citizens were among the missing.

Fire rescue officials have said the six other passengers will be considered missing until they are located in the wreckage. They include tycoon Mike Lynch , who was once hailed as Britain's king of technology and was cleared in June of fraud and conspiracy charges in a U.S. federal trial related to Hewlett Packard's $11 billion takeover of his company, Autonomy Corp.

Also unaccounted for are Christopher Morvillo, one of Lynch's lawyers, and Jonathan Bloomer, a chairman at Morgan Stanley International and the former head of the Autonomy audit committee who testified in Lynch's defense.

The wreckage of the luxury craft is some 164 feet underwater — far deeper than most recreational divers are certified for and a depth that requires special precautions. Recovery crews could only stay for 12-minute shifts, a measure that slowed their efforts to reach the cramped inside of the wreck.

Karsten Borner, the captain of the Sir Robert Baden Powell, which rescued the 15 survivors who managed to get into a lifeboat, said he was close enough to be able to see the Bayesian as the storm came in.

"A moment later, she was gone," he said. "They said they went flat on the water and were sunk in two minutes," Borner added, quoting the survivors.

The rotating search teams, each made up of two specialized cave divers, worked Tuesday to open up access points to get inside the wreck. They were using a remote-controlled underwater vehicle, or ROV, to help in the search.

The divers hadn't been able to access the below-deck cabins because they were blocked by furniture that had shifted during the violent storm. Rescue crews said they assume the missing six are in those cabins because the storm struck when most would be sleeping, but the teams haven't verified their presence there through portholes.

Luca Cari, a spokesman for the rescue teams, said the search was proceeding much more slowly than another big shipwreck in Italy, the 2012 Costa Concordia cruise ship that flipped on its side off Tuscany's coast, because of the depth of the wreck and the limited space divers have to maneuver.

"That was much simpler. Here everything is more tight," he said.

The outing was intended at least in part as a celebration of Lynch's acquittal and a "looking forward to what was coming next," said Reid Weingarten, a Washington attorney and a member of Lynch's defense team who was not on the yacht.

"A lot of people went, a lot of people were planning to go and then of course this happened," Weingarten said.

Some of the people who stood by Lynch throughout the ordeal were on board, including Morvillo, the lawyer, who Weingarten worked with and said "was like a brother."

Morvillo's wife, Neda, is also missing, according to his law firm Clifford Chance.

Aki Hussain, CEO of international insurer Hiscox Group, where Bloomer, the witness, was chairman, said the company was "deeply shocked and saddened by this tragic event."

"Our thoughts are with all those affected, in particular our Chair, Jonathan Bloomer, and his wife Judy, who are among the missing, and with their family as they await further news from this terrible situation," he added.

Among the survivors, the Emslie family was released from Palermo's pediatric hospital on Tuesday where little Sofia had been kept overnight after her rescue. Her mother, Charlotte Golunski, had reported that she momentarily lost hold of the 1-year-old in the water but then managed to hold her up over the waves until a lifeboat inflated and they were both pulled to safety, doctors said.

The father, identified by ANSA news agency as James Emslie, also survived.

"They don't talk much, primarily because they consider themselves survivors and they don't understand why they survived given what they went through," said Dr. Domenico Cipolla, head of the emergency room at Di Cristina Pediatric Hospital.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Cipolla said Golunski had reported that she and the baby were sleeping in the cabin and suddenly found themselves in the water, where they also found Emslie who had been in a different part of the ship. Cipolla said the parents had been in touch with other survivors, who are being housed at a nearby hotel and were waiting for other family members to arrive in Sicily.

The baby slept well overnight and all were released after final checks Tuesday morning, he said according to a videotaped interview posted on Palermo Today, adding that psychologists had been made available.

Among the other survivors was Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares. Hannah Lynch, reportedly the couple's 18-year-old daughter, is among the missing.

The yacht's registered owner is listed as Revtom Ltd., according to online maritime database Equasis. Bacares is listed as Revtom's sole owner, according to corporate registration documents from the Isle of Man.

Its name, Bayesian, may be a reference to "Bayesian Inference," one of the two main approaches to statistical machine learning and the one that was used by Lynch's company.

The yacht, built in 2008 by the Italian firm Perini Navi, was carrying 12 passengers and 10 crew. According to online charter companies, it had been available for charter for about $215,000 a week and was notable for its massive aluminum mast, one of the tallest in the world.

The coast guard said to date there was no trace of fuel leaks from the wreckage.

In an unrelated event, Lynch's co-defendant in the Autonomy trial who was also cleared, Stephen Chamberlain, was killed Sunday when he was hit by a car while running in Cambridgeshire, England, said Chamberlain's lawyer, Gary Lincenberg.
