A captain involved in the rescue effort following the sinking of the British superyacht Bayesian off Sicily in August 2024 says he later found the wife of billionaire Mike Lynch clinging to a raft. According to the account published by Daily Mail, the yacht went down near the fishing village of Porticello, and Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, and five other people died. The captain describes the woman’s condition after the capsizing and says she urged him to keep searching for survivors. The reports frame the incident as part of the immediate response to the sudden sinking, when rescuers were trying to locate people who had been thrown into the water or separated from the vessel. The captain’s remarks focus on the moment he spotted and reached the woman and on her request during the ongoing search. The coverage does not add new details about the cause of the sinking or the broader outcome of the operation beyond the fatalities and the rescue of the woman on a raft.
