ROME — A luxury superyacht carrying foreign tourists capsized and sank off Sicily in bad weather early Monday. One body was found, six people remain missing and 15 people were rescued, authorities said.
The 56-meter British-flagged “Bayesian,” was known for its unusually single 75-meter mast, one of the world’s tallest made of aluminum. The online sites list it for charter for up to 195,000 euros a week. Rescue crews located the ship at a depth of 50 meters off Porticello and experienced deep-water police divers were trying to access the hull, Cari said. The operations, which were visible from shore, involved helicopters and rescue boats from the coast guard, fire rescue and civil protection service.
