The cause of death of two of the victims on the yacht that sank in Sicily has been determined.

British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his daughter, Hannah Lynch, Christopher Morvillo and his wife, Neda , Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy , and yacht chef Recaldo Thomas have been identified as the seven people who died after the luxury yacht Bayesian sank off the coast of Sicily on Monday, Aug. 19.

On Monday, Sept. 2, Italian news agency ANSA announced the autopsies of Christopher and his wife Neda ruled their cause of death as drowning.

According to the outlet, the initial results — which were done by Professor Antonella Argo of the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the Palermo Policlinico — showed there were no signs of trauma. 

The couple are reported to have died from suffocation due to drowning. While additional laboratory tests have been carried out to confirm the cause of death, there are currently no other causes.

The autopsies for Jonathan and his wife Judy are set to be carried out on Wednesday. However, the autopsies for Mike and his daughter Hannah, as well as Thomas', haven’t been assigned as of yet. 

The Italian Coast Guard previously told PEOPLE in a statement that the 183-foot British-flagged vessel sank during a "violent storm."

Guests were on the yacht celebrating Mike's acquittal on all counts of a series of fraud and conspiracy charges he faced in the U.S. after a legal battle that dated back to 2018.

His wife, Angela Bacares, was also present on the yacht, but she was rescued along with 14 others on board.

Meanwhile, Christopher represented Mike in the case, while Jonathan, 70, was a close friend of Mike's.

Speaking at a press conference on Aug. 24, Girolamo Bentivoglio Fiandra, head of the Palermo Fire Brigade, said, "It was quite clear that people were trying to hide in the cabins."

“In the left-hand side, we found the first 5 bodies in the left-hand side cabins, and the final body on the right-hand side,” Fiandra said. “We found them on the highest part of the ship, which was closer to the surface. The vessel had three cabins on each side.”

The five victims, who "took refuge" on the luxury yacht’s left side, had been "searching for air pockets" in a final attempt at survival," he added.

Ambrogio Cartosio, the chief prosecutor of Termini Imerese, also announced on Aug. 24 that a manslaughter investigation had been launched, "hypothesizing the crimes of negligent shipwreck."

1 dead, 2 people missing after boat crash in Old Saybrook, Connecticut

One person has died after a boat crash in Old Saybrook on Monday night, two others are missing and five people are in the hospital. The search for the missing boaters was suspended overnight and resumed Tuesday morning .

A 31-foot motorboat carrying nine people struck a jetty at the mouth of the Connecticut River around 9:15 p.m. Monday while returning from Block Island, according to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection EnCon Police.

Several 911 calls came in about the crash and rescue crews found the boat half submerged and significantly damaged.

One man was found dead in the vessel and six people were taken to the hospital, according to DEEP. The boat operator is in critical condition, Captain Keith Williams, of Connecticut Environmental Police, said Tuesday morning.

Williams said he believes one person has been released from the hospital. The extent of the injuries the others suffered has not been released.

The investigation is ongoing, but Williams said they believe all nine people are friends who went to Block Island for the day.

The capsized boat was recovered from the river on Tuesday and it was pulled from the water around 11:30 a.m.

Williams said Tuesday morning that the tide was coming in when the boat crashed.

Multiple agencies, including police and fire crews from several nearby towns, the State Police Dive Unit, and a helicopter from the U.S. Coast Guard station on Cape Cod were searching for the missing boaters.

Williams said crews remain in search and recovery mode.

Ilma, the newest superyacht from the ritz-carlton yacht collection, makes its debut, leading the ultra-luxury yachting experience with innovative dining, expansive suites, and unparalleled onboard offerings.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's latest yacht presents an exceptional guest experience—from spacious suites with private ocean view terraces, world-class dining curated by MICHELIN-starred restaurant chefs, a sweeping pool deck offering spectacular views at sea, new itineraries, among the highest guest-to-staff ratio, and much more, building on the company's commitment to bespoke journeys

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. , Sept. 3 , 2024  /PRNewswire/ -- The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection  proudly introduces Ilma, its second newbuild luxury superyacht, to its distinguished fleet. The yacht embarked on its maiden voyage, a 7-night journey from Monte Carlo to Rome , on September 2 . As the first and only luxury hospitality company at sea, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection advances its position at the forefront of the industry with a second yacht now sailing, illustrating a future-focused vision that keeps pushing the boundaries of luxury travel at sea.

"It is with immense pride and excitement that we welcome Ilma to our growing fleet," said Jim Murren , Executive Chairman and CEO of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection . "Since Evrima 's debut, we have been steadfast in our pursuit of excellence at sea. The addition of Ilma signifies a continuation of our mission to deliver legendary service and unparalleled enjoyment to our guests."

Ilma measures 790 feet, offering 224 airy and intuitive suites, all with private terraces providing direct access to the sea. Stopping at signature and intimate ports of call, Ilma takes guests on enchanting itineraries to coveted destinations. Ilma's inaugural season in the Mediterranean includes ports of call visiting the blue waters of Santorini , the iconic yachting playgrounds of Porto Cervo , and the historic sites of Valletta , before departing for the Caribbean , where experiences in the natural wonders of Virgin Gorda , the vibrant harbor of Gustavia , and the pristine beauty of St. John await. Ilma will additionally sail the North and Baltic Seas of Northern Europe —a first for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection—during the 2025 summer season offering immersive itineraries in dynamic and culturally rich destinations like Amsterdam , Stockholm , and Reykjavík.

"The launch of Ilma exemplifies the unwavering dedication of The Ritz-Carlton to setting new benchmarks in luxury travel, with the company's commitment to thoughtful and transformative travel experiences guiding its mission," said Jenni Benzaquen , Senior Vice President of The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis , and Bvlgari Hotels and Resorts . " Ilma brings the exceptional luxury accommodations and personalized service for which The Ritz-Carlton brand is renowned to the sea, further redefining the standards in the luxury industry."

The purposefully designed yacht accommodates up to 448 guests and offers among the highest space-to-guest and guest-to-staff ratios at sea. Its sophisticated interiors are thoughtfully curated to enhance every aspect of the guest experience, showcasing expert craftsmanship and polished finishes by renowned London-based architectural and design firm AD Associates and award-winning lighting designer DPA. The exteriors reflect the vision of Helsinki -based design studio, Aivan.

A defining characteristic of Ilma is its seamless transition between interior and exterior spaces, inviting guests to intimately connect directly to the sea and destinations sailed. Ilma, named after the Maltese word for "water," draws subtle design inspiration from Maltese mythology, coastline, history, and native fauna. The design narrative incorporates fresh, neutral tones juxtaposed by light and dark finishes, enhancing visual richness, while the adorned exterior nods to the sleek design of private yachts.

Ilma invites guests to discover five dining venues, a refreshed in-suite dining program, sevens bars, and a signature wine vault. Highlights include two dining venues conceptualized by MICHELIN-starred restaurant chefs Fabio Trabocchi and Michael Mina . Seta su Ilma by Chef Fabio Trabocchi is a modern Italian fine-dining restaurant reflecting his Italian heritage and culinary expertise. Seta su Ilma, named after the Italian word for "silk," offers seasonal tasting menus with contemporary interpretations of Italian cuisine, nodding to regional flavors and impeccably paired with fine wines, where Italian whites and reds form the core of the wine list.

The Beach House , designed by the Toronto -based luxury design firm Chapi Chapo Design, offers 180-degree views of the sea that seamlessly integrate with the coast, creating a daytime to nighttime experience where guests can relax and unwind. The beach club-inspired venue draws from Peruvian and Pan-Latin cuisine, blending globally influenced flavors in a relaxed yet upscale atmosphere. The menu, developed in collaboration with James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Mina , is inspired by the bold, fire-born flavors of South and Central America while highlighting ingredients from the Caribbean .

Additional world-class dining venues include Memorī , which brings a modern spin to authentic Pan-Asian cuisines in a sleek environment; Mistral , which presents Mediterranean fare located steps from the main pool on Deck 10; and Tides , which offers seasonal menus inspired by the diverse regional flavors and techniques of the destinations that Ilma explores, evolving throughout the voyage. Nestled behind Tides and Seta su Ilma, Dining Privée provides an intimate and elegant enclave for celebratory dinners and other special events. At the heart of Ilma sits The Living Room , a welcoming space where guests can greet the day with freshly roasted coffee and baked pastries at the espresso counter each morning. As the day progresses, The Living Room Bar serves specialty cocktails, fine wines, and Champagne accompanied by live music. In-Suite Dining menus encompass breakfast, all day, and evening selections featuring a variety of classics from the different onboard restaurants.

A signature space across The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection fleet, Ilma debuts an extensive Marina and Marina Terrace , featuring large glass windows that draw in natural light, side doors that open and float above the water, and a hydraulic platform that connects guests directly with the sea when the yacht is at anchor. Deck 10 presents a dynamic open-air space for live entertainment and sunbathing, complete with the main pool, pool bar, and an outdoor LED screen. Additional experiences on board include The Ritz-Carlton Spa , a rejuvenating oasis with revitalizing treatments from  ESPA , 111SKIN , and Pisterzi . The expanded spa boasts 11 rooms, with five equipped to offer outdoor treatment options, and three distinct fitness spaces: a Movement Studio, Cycle Studio, and Fitness Studio with weights and cardio machines.

Ilma 's debut represents a remarkable new chapter for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, further elevating the standards of luxury cruising with its innovative design, outstanding amenities, and the personalized service for which The Ritz-Carlton is renowned.

Comparing the ybaa and iyba purchase and sale agreements.

Jun 28, 2017 | Articles

YBAA Yacht Broker News E-Newsletter

By christopher anderson and jane schwed, robert allen law.

Most brokerage yachts on the East Coast and in the Caribbean are bought and sold using one of two agreements – either the International Yacht Broker’s Association Purchase and Sale Agreement for Brokerage Vessel (“IYBA PSA”) or the YBAA Vessel Purchase and Sale Agreement (“YBAA PSA”). While very similar in many respects, there are a few distinctions worth noting. This article will explore the main differences between these two agreements.

• Time is of the Essence

The YBAA PSA contains a “time is of the essence” clause. This clause holds the buyers and sellers strictly to all of the deadlines in the contract. This means that those clauses that call for termination of the contract if the deadline is missed are enforced. IYBA, on the other hand, does not have a time is of the essence clause. This means that the clauses requiring signatures by a certain deadline are not strictly enforced. For instance, there is a clause in the IYBA PSA that requires the buyer to deliver the deposit within three days of the seller executing the document. Under the IYBA PSA, if the buyer misses this deadline but delivers the deposit in a reasonable amount of time, the seller most likely will not be able to terminate the deal over a one or two-day delay.  If your client absolutely must get their boat by exactly 12PM on a Saturday, then the YBAA PSA may be the better choice.             

• Venue for Disputes

The IYBA PSA requires that any claim or proceeding relating to the agreement be brought in a court in the state of Florida, either in the county of the main office of the selling broker, or in Broward County if the selling broker has no office in Florida and no other jurisdiction is written into the blank in the contract. Disputes under the YBAA PSA go to arbitration under American Arbitration Association rules in the city and state of the selling broker’s office.  Therefore, if you have a deal where the selling broker’s office is located in Maine, and the buyer, seller and boat are in North Carolina, then (i) under the YBAA PSA the parties would end up in arbitration in Maine, and (ii) under the IYBA PSA the parties would end up in the courts of Broward County, FL (assuming no other jurisdiction is written in).            

• Choice of Law for Disputes

Florida law governs all disputes under the IYBA PSA.  Choice of law under the YBAA PSA is in the state of the main office of the selling broker. The courts of different states interpret contracts differently.  How one state looks at an agreement differs from how another state looks at an agreement.  Florida, for instance, requires specific disclosures for a contractual provision for liquidated damages to be effective while other states don’t have similar requirements.  Because the YBAA PSA can be governed by the laws of various states based on where the selling broker’s office is located, it may make sense to have a local lawyer take a quick look at the contract.  

• Dual Brokers

Both YBAA and IYBA agreements include a clause that addresses the conflict of interest issues that arise when the buyer and the seller have the same broker. Both agreements allow for a dual broker relationship between the parties. The IYBA agreement also requires that a broker may not disclose to the seller that the buyer is willing to spend more than the asking price without the buyer’s consent, and that a broker may not disclose to the buyer that the seller is willing to sell the vessel for less than the asking price without the seller’s consent. This requirement is a solution to the problem dual brokers have when trying to abide by laws requiring the broker to represent their principal’s best interests. By receiving consent from both parties, a dual broker involved in a IYBA PSA is given stricter guidelines on how to avoid a conflict of interest.

Both IYBA and YBAA have a clause that establishes three requirements that must occur for an agreement to occur. Both require that necessary documents – such as necessary title, proof of removal of encumbrances, etc. – are delivered before the closing occurs. Both also require that the purchase price be paid. The difference in IYBA and YBAA’s closing clauses is that IYBA requires that for a closing to occur, the vessel must be delivered, while YBAA only requires that the buyer confirms they are prepared to close.

• Wire Transfer

IYBA specifies that the purchase price must be delivered by wire transfer. In contrast, YBAA requires that the purchase price has been collected by the seller or selling broker as of closing.

• Prevailing Party Legal Fees

In a dispute under the YBAA PSA, absent theft or fraud, the party who wins pays his own legal costs.  In contrast, in any dispute under the IYBA PSA, the prevailing party party’s legal fees and costs are paid by the other party.

• Risks and Losses

Both agreements have a clause that holds the seller responsible for all damage done to the boat after acceptance but before closing. The IYBA PSA has different outcomes depending on the severity of the damage. Under the IYBA PSA, damages that cost 5% of the vessel purchase price or less and take less than 30 days to repair must be repaired by the seller, but the contract is adjusted and deadlines are extended by however many days it takes to repair the damages. If damage is more extensive, than either party may terminate the agreement.  Under the YBAA PSA, the seller must repair any damage to the vessel, regardless of the size of the repair, subject to approval of the buyer who has the right to request a reasonable price adjustment or to cancel the sale if substantial damages cannot be repaired to his satisfaction.

These are some of the important differences between the YBAA PSA and The IYBA PSA to take into account when deciding which agreement to use for your next deal.

Helicopters and boats have been used in the search for survivors after the vessel got into difficulties on Tuesday morning.

At least 12 people have died - including 10 women and girls - after a boat with dozens of migrants tore apart in the English Channel, a local mayor has said.

Olivier Barbarin, mayor of Le Portel, a French coastal town being used in a rescue operation, said "the bottom of the boat ripped open".

The French coastguard said more than 65 people had been rescued after a vessel got into difficulties on Tuesday morning.

Local authorities said several people needed emergency treatment and a temporary medical post has been set up at the port at Boulogne-sur-Mer, about 28 miles (45km) southwest of Calais.

France's Interior minister Gerald Darmanin told reporters that 12 people had died - and 10 of those were women and girls.

He also said only eight of the 70 people on the boat had lifejackets.

A spokesperson for the French maritime prefecture said helicopters and boats have been used in the search for survivors.

Resources deployed included helicopters and vessels from the French customs and Navy, as well as boats from the SNSM, the French equivalent of the RNLI.

Another media outlet France 3 had initially said "at least 100 migrants " were on board at 11.30am (10.30am UK time).

Earlier Mr Darmanin described the incident on X as "terrible", adding that "all government resources [have been] mobilised to find the missing and take care of the victims".

Le Portel is reportedly where the boat was launched.

UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper described the deaths as "horrifying and deeply tragic".

"What has happened off the coast at Le Portel is a horrifying and deeply tragic incident, and our hearts go out to the loved ones of all those who have lost their lives, and all those who have been seriously injured.

"The gangs behind this appalling and callous trade in human lives have been cramming more and more people on to increasingly unseaworthy dinghies, and sending them out into the Channel even in very poor weather.

"They do not care about anything but the profits they make, and that is why - as well as mourning the awful loss of life - the work to dismantle these dangerous and criminal smuggler gangs and to strengthen border security is so vital and must proceed apace."

James Cleverly said the deaths in the Channel were "tragic" and cannot continue.

Writing on X, the shadow home secretary said: "This is tragic and it cannot continue. It is not enough to talk about 'smashing the gangs' when the real-life consequences are so serious."

At least 30 migrants have died or gone missing while trying to cross the Channel this year, according to the International Organisation for Migration.

Meanwhile figures show at least 2,109 migrants have tried to make the trip in small boats in the past seven days, according to the latest Home Office data.

Separately on Tuesday, an RNLI lifeboat docked in Dover with suspected migrants on board after being deployed to the English Channel.

It is not currently believed those people were rescued from the incident off the coast of France.

General Comments About the Website

FROM Donald:  " This is an awesome website. I found the information that I needed right away from one of the over 20,000 free articles that you provide as a public service. I'm surprised that so much if this site is free. But I still signed up so I could access the thousands of expanded pages, interesting articles, and dozens of valuable programs! The member's library of books, magazines and videos that I can view online is really terrific! I understand that you and your staff are all unpaid volunteers. Please keep up the good work. And I commend you for your plans to add another 10,000 free informative articles over the next year. I'm thrilled to support you in this endeavor with my small membership donation. Thanks again for all your hard work. "

FROM Huey:  " I agree with my Uncle, I too have found the articles to be very enlightening. They say that it will take about 100,000 articles to cover the full scope that they have envisioned for the website. They have over 20,000 articles so far and that's doing pretty well, but it could take several years to get the rest. I also noticed that many of the Main Topic Pages and some of the article pages are still in the rough draft stage. I guess that they will fill in as they can get volunteers to work on them. But what I can't figure out is why anyone would spend the time writing informative in depth articles just to give away free to this website for publication? What's in it for them? "

FROM Dewey:  " Well Huey, to me It looks like most of the articles on this website are written by very informed people, like boating instructors, boat designers, boat builders, riggers, electricians, fitters, marine repair technicians and marine surveyors. Writing such articles helps establish them as knowledgeable professionals. After all, this website was originally created by a school for marine technicians and marine surveyors. The website is growing in content every day. They even had to move to a bigger, more powerful server because the website's traffic has been growing exponentially. "

FROM Louie:  " I agree with everyone above. This site is quickly becoming the ultimate reference resource about every aspect of boats and ships for everyone from the beginning recreational boater to the seasoned professional mariner. I use the topic pages on the right sidebar to browse around the website. It's like a Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook for Boaters. Their Members' Library of over 300 popular and obscure books and over 200 magazine back issues that can be viewed online is fabulous. The Academy's magazine is especially informative. On top of that, there is the "Ask-An-Expert program for members where you can get an expert's answer to any of your boat questions. And a whole years membership is only $25. What a deal! I really love being part of this "Everything About Boats" community and help provide thousands of helpful articles free to the public. I think that I'll sit down right now and write an article about my experiences boating with my uncle. "

FROM Scrooge: " You rave about this website like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Well, I think it stinks. Sure, it has a lot of good information for boaters, and they're adding more every day, but it will probably never be finished. Furthermore, I don't even own a boat. And I wouldn't have a boat even if someone gave me one. Boats are a waste of money and time and energy and money! They're just a hole in the water you pour money into. If you gave me a boat, I'd sell it quicker then you could say Baggywrinkle. Then I'd lock up the cash with all my other money so I could keep my eye on it and count it every day. Bah humbug. "

FROM Daisy:  " I'm just so glad that Donald got the boat so we and the boys could enjoy boating — together. And of course all of the girls, April, May, and June, love to be on the water too, especially when that is where the boys are. Oh poor Scrooge, boating is more fun then you could possibly imagine. "

FROM Scrooge: " After seeing how much fun you all have on the water together, I regret that I didn't have that much fun when I was young. I've had a change of heart, and I'm giving each of you a Lifetime Academy Membership . "

FROM Editor:  " For those of you that have stayed with us this far, many thanks, and we hope that you found this little narrative informative. Your faithful support inspires us to keep working on this phenomenal website. We know that we have a lot more to do. Ultimately, we hope that we can help you enjoy the wonder filled world of boating as much as we do. We are all waiting to see what you have to say about this webpage article.
