Charter a yacht in the BVI's

The British Virgin Islands include Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda, and more. There’s no better way to experience the waters and beaches of the BVI's than on a private Caribbean charter with a full crew to pamper you. Of all the islands in the Caribbean, the Virgins are furthest north. This makes them very convenient due to the proximity to San Juan and due to their direct flights from the United States. Catamaran sailing vacations and crewed sailing charters are very popular in the islands, and their protected waters make them a favorite spot for guests that are taking their first private Caribbean yacht charter. To learn more about them:

Charter a yacht in the USVI

The U.S. Virgin Islands consist mainly of the three large islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John. With lovely bays, long beaches, lush nature preserves, fabulous diving spots, and excellent, onshore evening entertainment, many choose to vacation in the USVI’s. Caribbean charters often visit both the BVI’s and USVI’s during the same week, as they are close to one another and the waters are generally calmer than in other parts of the Caribbean. They in general are also home to the largest fleet of crewed, all-inclusive, luxury catamarans. To find out more about them:

Charter a Caribbean yacht

The Leewards are situated in the middle of the Caribbean Island chain. The major airports are located on St. Maarten and Antigua. Due to the English, Dutch, and French influences everywhere you look, they exhibit the best example of cultural sophistication anywhere within the Caribbean. If you are looking to see where the rich and famous go on vacation, you will want to visit the island of St. Barts; for many this is a must stop for a Caribbean yacht charter. Many mega yachts are available for rental in St. Maarten, as it has become a popular mega yacht Caribbean base for the winter. To learn more about the Leewards:

Grenadines

The Grenadines are also called The Windward Islands. Oftentimes our guests will choose a sailing charter over a motor yacht when in the Grenadines, due to the more constant tropical breezes that occur. The islands are much less developed than the rest of the Caribbean, and the inhabitants live on their own time schedule, which enhances the feeling of getting away. The northern most island accessible by air is ST. Vincent, while the southern tip’s major airport is on Grenada. There are fewer Caribbean charter yachts based here; however, occasionally some charter yachts are happy to relocate in order to offer a vacation that happens a little off the beaten path. To find out more about the Grenadines:

What Type of Charter Yacht?

There are all types of Caribbean yacht charters available, including mega yachts, power yachts, catamarans, and sailboats. We have helped countless clients choose the right charter yacht, learning what features and amenities make a difference on caribbean charter yachts. Learn more about different types of Caribbean yachts.

Where Can You Go?

Typically you’ll choose between the Virgins, Leewards, and the Grenadines to charter your yacht. Beyond the region, it is your Caribbean to explore. It’s important for you to remember that there is no cruise ship itinerary to worry about! Your itinerary will be custom designed specifically for you, with you, and is flexible to changes during your charter. We have put together some samples for you to get an idea of what you might like to do while on vacation in the Caribbean. Interested in seeing a sample cruise itinerary ?

Caribbean Charters - When To Go.

One of the lovely things about the Caribbean is that the temperatures remain consistent throughout the year; however, there are some other weather considerations that you will want to factor in when making your caribbean yachting vacation plans. Read More....

Vacations here are most popular between November and July.

If you are thinking of a megayacht, you will want to keep in mind that many of these private yachts which are Caribbean based in winter leave in the late spring and early summer months. They will return again in early winter; however, this does limit their availability. To charter a mega yacht, you will want to make sure that you do so well in advance.

Motor, sail, or catamaran yachts, on the other hand, often have selections available year round. Holidays like Christmas, New Year’s, and Easter do need to be planned for as early as possible as these are very popular charter times.

The availability for Caribbean charters can also be affected by the weather in other climates, for instance, when the severity of the weather is bad in the United States or Europe, especially between January and February, the charters are often booked. This is due to many clients looking for a break from the cold.

What Do Our Clients Say About The Caribbean?

Are you excited yet? You should be! Our clients have enjoyed fantastic Caribbean vacations. There is an endless number of places to visit in the Caribbean, from smaller islands to absolutely must be seen locations like St. Barts.

DIVERSE HISTORY , AUTHENTIC CHARM AND A DISTINCTIVE, LAID-BACK VIBE

Best time to go.

November – April

Extending southeast from the Gulf of Mexico into the warm expanse of the Atlantic is the Caribbean, an exotic region characterized by more than 700 unique islands, spectacular reefs and isolated cays. Dotted throughout this archipelago is a mixture of larger, inhabited islands that curve around the Caribbean Sea, each one distinctive in its character but all with that quintessential Caribbean charm. Having established itself as a long-term favourite for superyacht charters, the Caribbean has an all-encompassing allure that has an undeniable air of elegance and sophistication in addition to an unceremonious carefree feel.   

Marked by sweeping white sand beaches, turquoise waters, shimmering reefs and lush vegetation, the Caribbean is in a class of its own. Combined with humble, sweet hospitality, and the unmistakable sound of a good reggae beat, it is no wonder why superyachts and their guests choose to come back time and again. From Barbados to Antigua, each island has its own distinct character, however they all share a unique bond. One that is rooted in the region’s diverse history, authentic charm and the laid-back vibe the Caribbean is famous for.

The Time of Year to Charter a Yacht in the Caribbean:

The main Caribbean sailing season runs from November through to July. The Caribbean primary high season is from mid-December to March, when the winter escapees from North America and Europe arrive in their greatest numbers. The hurricane season is from late July to early October, although hurricanes are in general rare in the southern Caribbean. Unfortunately, they can be prevalent around Cuba, Bahamas and the east coast of the U.S. every few years. This is the least expensive time for chartering in the Caribbean and there are some really good deals are available. However, as well as running the risk of storms, this time of year also tends to be associated with lighter (or non-existent) winds.

As with many boating locations the Caribbean shoulder season, in this case from April to July, is also a great time to charter a boat as there are less shore based visitors, some lovely settled sunny weather, and warm yet steady breeze. The Caribbean is made up of many different multi-nation (and multi-cultural) volcanic islands. There are amazing sailing grounds stretching from Cuba and Jamaica in the west, through the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands, The Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands, finishing with Trinidad and Tobago off the coast of Venezuela.

Leeward islands yacht charter

St. Maarten offers two distinct cultures and experiences. The North end is less developed and more secluded while the Dutch side offers plenty of water activities and shopping. The island of Anguilla is a hidden gem with luxurious spas and a Greg Norman-designed golf course, and is also the wreck dive capital of the Caribbean. St. Barths has become a mecca for new superyachts and it’s easy to see why, with abundant restaurants, spas, and boutiques to go along with marine parks and pristine beaches. St. Kitts and Nevis are surrounded by coral reefs and are home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park. Finally, Antigua and Barbuda offers visitors a chance to experience history, tourism, and the great Caribbean laid-back vibe without the hustle and bustle of other tourist-filled islands.

Windward Islands yacht charter

As the Northern most Windward Island, Dominica is home to over 365 rivers and the world’s second largest hot spring, Boiling Lake, a must-explore spot by luxury yacht charter. Caribbean cruising here will take you down to Martinique, where you will find black sand beaches and diverse rainforests. Due to its sovereignty switching between the British and the French 14 times, St. Lucia’s history has created a culture rarely found elsewhere in the Caribbean. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are a perfect combination of modern amenities and calm Caribbean life. The Island of Spice, Grenada, has a great contrast of relaxing beaches, lush rainforests, and numerous villages dotted on its coastline.

US Virgin Islands yacht charter

The U.S. Virgin islands offer a diverse collection of keen environmental preservation, timeworn plantations, and unspoiled ocean. The quiet island, St. Johns, is blanketed by a park which extends into the sea, creating a pristine island paradise. A water enthusiast’s tropical paradise, St. Thomas, provides countless places to dive, sail, fish, and relax on a private yacht charter in the Caribbean. St. Croix is the largest island in the group and offers crystal-clear water and scenic coastline.

British Virgin Islands Yacht Charter

Starting on Salt Island is a great way to explore the wreckage of the RMS Rhone nearby. Virgin Gorda is a wonderful spot to explore the Baths, home of enormous rock formations and then head over to Spanish Town. In Agenda, you can explore beautiful beaches or snorkel over the coral reefs found at Loblolly Bay. Trellis Bay and Marina Cay just north of Beef island are two great areas for hanging out, shopping, and happy hour on your luxury yacht charter. Caribbean snorkelling spots Monkey Point on Guana Island or Sandy Spit come highly recommended for viewing stunning sea life. After all the snorkelling and hiking, a visit to Foxy’s on Jost Van Dyke is a must. The last attractions can be found on Tortola and Norman Island: Pusser’s Landing restaurant and Treasure Point, which is thought to be the inspiration for “Treasure Island.”

Turks & Caicos Yacht Charter

Providenciales or more commonly known as “Provo” is the most developed Island with an extensive infrastructure of hotels, restaurants, and facilities. Even though Provo is developed, it has still managed to maintain a rustic island feel. Visiting the conch farm on Provo is fascinating, as it is the only one in the world. Middle Caicos and North Caicos embody the unsurpassed preservation of the environment, with lush tropical woodlands, the largest cave network in the Caribbean, cottage pond and flamingo pond in North Caicos and a range of wildlife. Grand Turk and Salt Cay have a rich history complete with Bermudian styled homes and friendly island charm. The Islands have the Atlantic Ocean to the North and the serene Caicos bank to the south. The Caicos bank provides excellent anchorage in shallow crystal waters – perfect for a private yacht charter, Caribbean style.

Dominican Republic yacht charter

There is no place in the world like the Dominican Republic. More than just beach resorts, the Dominican Republic has one of the most beautifully diverse coastlines in the world, with ragged rocky cliffs and palm-tree-studded beaches extending for hundreds of miles. On the eastern side of the island the resort town of Punta Cana has incredible golf courses, chic restaurants, gorgeous beaches and 5-star resorts. The northern coast of the Dominican Republic’s heart is Puerto Plata, a perfect place to be pampered in between the beach and dinner. A quick trip to Santo Domingo will let you experience the oldest city in the new world with its fascinating history and culture.

Puerto Rico yacht charter

Puerto Rico is unlike any other place in the Caribbean – come for a visit and live your own 5-star vacation. San Juan is where the old and new come together and give the island it’s heart and soul. Old San Juan is a breathtaking ancient city that has managed to retain its charisma. The ocean is the main attraction in the west and sports some of the best surfing you’ll find on a luxury yacht charter. Caribbean waters teem with life in the east, the ideal place to explore underneath the surface. With all it has to offer, Puerto Rico is sure to exceed all expectations.

Ilma: On Board The Ritz-Carlton’s Newest Superyacht

Ilma's maiden voyage went from Barcelona to Monte-Carlo – we were on board.

By Kim Ayling

ilma yacht exterior

Cruises get a bit of a bad rep. A “human lasagna,” a particularly judgemental writer once described them, where layers of often older travelers (or “cruisers”) live on top of each other for days, weeks and sometimes even months on end, with the aim of ticking off bucket list destinations with minimal effort. It was then, given this reputation, a stroke of genius by the powers that be at The Ritz-Carlton to not describe their cruise line — as it undeniably is — as a cruise line.

Instead, in October 2022, we were introduced to The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection . A polished, refined and, most importantly, boutique take on cruising, where travelers can enjoy that famous Ritz-Carlton service, at sea — a floating hotel from one of the most respected hospitality brands on the planet, if you will. Its first ship was the 623-ft, 149-cabin Evrima , which was delivered three years late but to plenty of fanfare. She lived up to The Ritz-Carlton’s sky-high promises: cabins were roomy, service was personalized and excursions were immersive.

ilma ritz carlton yacht marina

Now, just shy of two years later, Evrima ’s little sister has hit the water, embarking on her inaugural pre-official-launch journey in late August from Barcelona to Monte-Carlo . In true Ritz-Carlton style, she set sail with a bang, with an opening night DJ set from Sam Feldt, cocktail bar pop-up from Paradiso in Barcelona (a mainstay on the World’s 50 Best Bars list), free-flowing Moet & Chandon, and a bunch of intrigued first-in guests on board. Ilma hath arrived.

Ilma is a touch larger than her older sister at 790 ft and with 224 suites. Every accommodation is a suite — no poky cabins here, thank you — and even the entry-level option comes with a balcony big enough for dining space and a sun lounger. The Ritz-Carlton by no means pushes the boat out (no pun intended) when it comes to interior design, but that’s not meant as criticism — the decor is minimal but warm, muted but cozy.

There are plenty of little extra touches: polish off one packet of your favorite treats in the all-inclusive snack cupboard and three more will have arrived by the time you look again. Poured the last drop of your welcome champagne last night? Another bottle will be chilling pronto. I even came back to my room each evening to a display of gifts that would make Santa blush, from Diptyque perfume to a Bulgari AirPods case.

If you’re looking for a showstopper, though, go for the Owner’s Suite. Covering 1,033 sq ft (with an extra 721 sq ft outside), it has a separate dining area and lounge, a kitchenette, a walk-in wardrobe and its own outdoor hot tub. No half measures.

This is Ritz-Carlton-on-Sea, so service is the real marker of luxury on Ilma. The guest-to-staff ratio is proudly 1:1.2 (among the highest ratio in the industry, so I’m told) and you feel it at every stage — from the dedicated suite ambassadors on hand to cater to every whim to the bar team who very helpfully whizz around the pool areas, trays of cocktails that you didn’t know you wanted until you saw them in hand. By the time you disembark, expect plenty of the team to know you by name — as well as, crucially, your drinks order. Most things are included in your fare too, so you won’t feel that niggling dread of the bill ticking up as you go.

But, so far, so cruise. Pick a line luxurious enough, and the above will come as standard. The real place where traditional cruising reveals its flaws, however, is in the on-shore excursions, with locals in many ports notoriously fed up with hordes descending en masse. No such worry for Ilma guests, though. During our two-night call at St Tropez, I, along with a small (by cruise standards) group of fellow guests headed to land for an afternoon at the Domaine La Rouillère vineyard.

mistral bar on ilma yacht

Worries set in when I saw our host waving a clipboard above her head, indicating that the group should follow her to a nearby mini-bus. The worries disappeared when we arrived, though. The vineyard and its thankfully air-conned winery were ours for the afternoon; a tour turned into a tasting of its delightfully crisp Provence rosé . Small groups like this not only keep the locals happy but also mean you make quick friends — a few sips in and we were all sharing stories of champagne-fueled festivities the night before.

If even this type of excursion is a bit too close to organized fun for you, fear not. Regular tenders run to shore when the ship is at anchor so you can explore as you please (many of my fellow rosé sippers stayed in town for dinner, post wine) and the concierge team can set up fully private custom excursions if you like — there’s even the option to stay overnight and rejoin at the next port of call.

[See more: The Best Luxury Villas in France]

ilma cruise marina

Personally, though, I would recommend as many nights on board as possible as one place where Ritz-Carlton has really leaned into the cruising experience is in its food and drink program. There are five restaurants — including lavish multi-course fine dining at Seta su Ilma by chef Fabio Trabocchi (of Washington DC’s Michelin-starred Fiola), light Mediterranean bites at poolside The Beach House by Michael Mina, and sharing-style Pan-Asian dishes at Memorī — and no less than seven bars, as well as 24-hour in-suite dining. You’d be hard-pressed to enjoy such an embarrassment of riches on even the biggest of private yachts.

For our final night on board Ilma , someone at The Ritz-Carlton surely paid off the weather gods — a sunset as beautiful as I’d ever seen gracefully waved us away from the swanky shores of St Tropez. After a night of sailing, Ilma ’s first journey came to an end in Monaco; I opened my curtains to a view of the sunrise casting a pink glow over Monte-Carlo’s gleaming Port Hercules harbor.

After dropping us off in the billionaire’s playground, the ship was snaking her way down to Rome for her first proper outing (read: not filled with notebook-wielding journalists). From there, she’s off around the Med — Santorini, Valletta and Taomorina beckon — before she heads over the Atlantic to prove to the Caribbean that not all cruises are created equal.

At the center of the C lies an atrium with floating stars and a lift without walls that allows seafarers to navigate decks in a novel fashion. Highlights of the living quarters include a duplex owner’s suite, a partially enclosed sea lounge that can be used at anchor or on the waves, a beach club with a sea-level dining area, and a private observation deck with an articulating crow’s nest. To top it off, C is outfitted with two infinity pools that match the hexagonal shape of the atrium and other seating areas.

Feadship Project 821

C also shines on the technology front. She features a sleek hull and a fully electric propulsion system similar to sisterships Breathe and Savannah that renders her 30 percent more efficient than a typical 246-footer with dual shafts, propellers, and rudders, according to Feadship. Her streamlined underwater profile means less wake, too.

C will also be equipped with fuel cells and lithium-metal batteries that will together cover all power needs. (Feadship has also incorporated fuel cells on Project 821 .) Green methanol will be the fuel of choice due to its relatively high density and ease of use. Normal cruising speed on the fuel cells is 14 knots, while a top speed of 17 knots can be achieved by adding the battery power. In addition, two wave-actuated fins can generate enough grunt to cover one-third of the hotel load.

C will be fully unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show next week. The yacht is just a concept at this stage, but Feadship says she is completely buildable. Perhaps the yard will land a buyer at the show.

Divers find 5 bodies during search of superyacht wreckage after it sank off Sicily, 1 still missing

The bayesian, a 56-meter (184-foot) british-flagged yacht, went down in a storm early monday, by nicole winfield, danica kirka and andrea rosa | the associated press • published august 21, 2024 • updated on august 21, 2024 at 4:19 pm.

Divers searching the wreck of a superyacht  that sank off Sicily found the bodies of five passengers Wednesday and searched for one more as questions intensified about why the vessel sank so quickly when a nearby sailboat remained largely unscathed.

Rescue crews brought four body bags ashore into port at Porticello. Salvatore Cocina, head of the Sicily civil protection agency, said a fifth body had been located. Divers at the scene said they would try to recover it on Thursday while continuing the search for the sixth.

Missing revealed as divers search superyacht that sank in storm off Sicily

24/7 New York news stream: Watch NBC 4 free wherever you are

The discovery made clear the operation to search the hull on the seabed 50 meters (164 feet) underwater had quickly turned into a recovery one, not a rescue, given the amount of time that had passed and with no signs of life emerging over three days of searching.

The Bayesian, a 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged yacht, went down in a storm  early Monday  as it was moored about a kilometer (a half-mile) offshore. Civil protection officials said they believed the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout, and sank quickly.

Fifteen people escaped in a lifeboat and were rescued by a nearby sailboat. One body was recovered Monday — that of the ship’s chef, Recaldo Thomas, of Antigua.

Get Tri-state area news delivered to your inbox. Sign up for NBC New York's News Headlines newsletter.

Thomas was born in Canada, according to his cousin David Isaac, but would visit his parents’ homeland of Antigua as a child, moving permanently to the tiny eastern Caribbean island in his early 20s. Italian officials previously listed Antigua and Canada as the nationality of people on board.

The fate of six missing passengers had driven the search effort, including British tech magnate Mike Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter and associates who had successfully defended him in a recent U.S. federal fraud trial.

Lynch’s spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

Meanwhile, investigators from the Termini Imerese Public Prosecutor’s Office were acquiring evidence for their criminal investigation, which they opened immediately after the tragedy  even though no formal suspects have been publicly identified.

Questions have abounded about what caused the superyacht, built in 2008 by Italian shipyard Perini Navi, to sink so quickly, when the nearby Sir Robert Baden Powell sailboat was largely spared and managed to rescue the survivors.

Giovanni Costantino, head of The Italian Sea Group, which owns the shipmaker, blamed human error for the disaster, which he said took 16 minutes. “The ship sank because it took on water. From where, the investigators will say,” he told RAI state television after he met with prosecutors.

Costantino cited AIS ship tracking data which he said showed the Bayesian had taken on water for four minutes when a sudden gust of wind flipped it and it continued taking on water. The ship straightened up slightly and then went down, he said.

But was it merely the case of a freak waterspout that knocked the ship to its side and allowed water to pour in through open hatches? What was the position of the keel, which on a large sailboat like the Bayesian might have been retractable, to allow it to enter shallower ports?

“There’s a lot of uncertainty as to whether it had a lifting keel and whether it might have been up,” said Jean-Baptiste Souppez, a fellow of the Royal Institute of Naval Architects and the editor of the Journal of Sailing Technology. “But if it had, then that would reduce the amount of stability that the vessel had, and therefore made it easier for it to roll over on its side,” he said in an interview.

The captain of the sailboat that came to the Bayesian’s rescue said his craft had sustained minimal damage — the frame of a sun awning broke — even with winds that he estimated reached 12 on the Beaufort wind scale, which is the highest hurricane-strength force on the scale.

He said he had remained anchored with his engines running to try to maintain the ship’s position as the storm, which was forecast, rolled in.

“Another possibility is to heave anchor before the storm and to run downwind at open sea,” Karsten Bornersaid in a text message. But he said that might not have been a viable option for the Bayesian, given its trademark 75-meter (246-foot) tall mast.

“If there was a stability problem, caused by the extremely tall mast, it would not have been better at open sea,” he said.

Yachts like the Bayesian are required to have watertight, sub-compartments that are specifically designed to prevent a rapid, catastrophic sinking even when some parts fill with water.

“So for the vessel to sink, especially this fast, you are really looking at taking water on board very quickly, but also in a number of locations along the length of the vessel, which again indicates that it might have been rolled over on its side,” Souppez said.

Italian coast guard and fire rescue divers continued the underwater search in dangerous and time-consuming conditions. Because of the wreck’s depth, which requires special precautions, divers working in tag teams could only spend about 12 minutes at a time searching, though reinforcements outfitted with special equipment to enable longer dives were also on the wreck Wednesday.

In all, some 27 divers were taking rotations, including four who helped with the recovery of the 2012 Costa Concordia disaster off Tuscany. They called the Porticello wreck a “little Concordia,” fire crews said in a statement, which for the first time Wednesday referred to the operation as a “recovery.”

The limited dive time was designed in part to avoid decompression sickness, also known as the “bends,” which can occur when divers stay underwater for long periods and ascend too quickly, allowing nitrogen gas dissolved in the blood to form bubbles.

“The longer you stay, the slower your ascent has to be,” said Simon Rogerson, the editor of SCUBA magazine. He said the tight turnaround time suggested the operation's managers were trying to limit the risks and recovery time after each dive.

“It sounds like they’re operating essentially on no decompression or very tight decompression, or they’re being extremely conservative,” he said.

Additionally, the divers were working in extremely tight spaces, with debris floating around them, limited visibility and air tanks on their backs.

“We are trying to advance in tight spaces, but any single thing slows us down,” said Luca Cari, spokesman for the fire rescue service. “An electric panel could set us back for five hours. These aren’t normal conditions. We’re at the limit of possibility.”

“It’s not a question of entering the cabin to inspect it,” he added. “They’ve arrived at the level of the cabins, but it’s not like you can open the door.”

Mike lynch’s widow faces $250m lawsuit for ‘reputational damage’ over doomed bayesian superyacht.

A rogue lawyer for the builder behind the doomed Bayesian superyacht — on which tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and six others died — sued Lynch’s widow for nearly $250 million, claiming the accident caused the shipbuilder massive “reputational damage.”

Filed Friday in Palermo by lawyer Tommaso Bertuccelli on behalf of The Italian Sea Group, the lawsuit said liability for the sunken vessel lay squarely with Lynch’s widow and the boat crew, according to Fortune.

And it said TISG had lost significant business because of the disaster, such as a well-known fashion company that canceled plans to hold a brand launch on one of the company’s yachts, the outlet said.

Mike Lynch, the billionaire tech entrepreneur who died when his superyacht sunk last month.

But in a bizarre twist, the sea group immediately distanced itself from the suit, claiming it didn’t authorize the filing and wants Bertuccelli to pull the claim, Fortune said.

“The Italian Sea Group … strongly denies the claims published in [Italian newspaper] La Nazione regarding a legal action following the Bayesian tragedy,” a spokesperson said.

“Although TISG has given a generic mandate to the lawyers named in the article, no legal representative of the company has examined, signed or authorized any writ of summons.”

Lynch, a British billionaire, died in the early morning hours of Aug. 19 when a powerful squall struck the $40 million, TISG-built yacht off the coast of Sicily, sparking tornado-like waterspouts that inundated the craft.

Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, also died, as did the ship’s chef, Ricardo Thomas; New York City  attorney Christopher Morvillo and his wife, Neda ; and Morgan Stanley  executive Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy .

Angela Bacares, Lynch’s wife and Hannah’s mother, was one of 15 people  who escaped the 184-foot luxury yacht .

The voyage had been a celebration of sorts for Lynch, who’d just been acquitted on criminal fraud charges in the US.

The exact cause of the boat’s destruction remains unknown, however.

Italian prosecutors are probing whether the actions of Captain James Cutfield, 51,  may have led to tragedy , since ship captains are responsible for the safety of the vessel, its crew and its passengers, according to maritime law.

Cutfield was reportedly named in the lawsuit, as were two other crewmembers; Camper & Nicholsons, the company that hired the crew; and Revtom, the company that owned the Bayesian and which is controlled by Lynch’s widow, Bacares.

But a TISG representative told Fortune that the company won’t pursue the crew or Lynch’s widow for damages.

Still, the shipbuilder has been trying to control a mushrooming PR nightmare ever since the vessel sinking.

Giovanni Costantino, the company’s CEO, had called the yacht “unsinkable,” and said human error must have led to the disaster.

“The first thought when I read the news of the sinking was that there was a problem related to the management of the boat or the fact that the hull may have hit a rock,” Costantino told the Guardian. 

“But when the passengers declared they had not heard a loud noise onboard, which would have meant that the yacht had struck a reef, I realized the yacht had taken on water due to a hatch that was left open. Otherwise the Bayesian cannot sink.”

Prosecutors have said the boat was likely hit by a “downburst,” or a very strong downward wind.

But naval experts remain confounded by the yacht’s sinking — it should have withstood the storm, and shouldn’t have sunk as quickly as it did.

The extravagant ship won best interior at the International Superyacht Society Awards in 2008 and was also voted one of the best large sailing yachts at the 2009 World Superyacht Awards, according to the Telegraph.

An unnamed friend of the family told the Times that the TISG “should be ashamed” of the suit.

“Giovanni Costantino is a disgrace, desperately trying to shift blame,” the friend said.

“He rushed to the media before all the bodies had even been recovered, showing his lack of decency. Now, it seems, he wants to sue his own clients.”
