Yacht expert breaks down luxury superyacht tragedy after boat capsizes in freak storm: 'Always limits'
Fox News
Luxury superyachts like the Bayesian, which capsized and sank early Monday, are built to withstand extreme weather conditions, but not everything is guaranteed, says one expert.
The host, who identifies publicly as eSysman, told Fox News Digital that a high-caliber yacht like the Bayesian, should typically be able to withstand up to "extreme weather conditions," but qualified that "there are always limits."

"Obviously, any voyage plan will take into account the weather. Wind, wave sizes, and frequencies of the waves will be studied and precise prediction of weather has improved over the years, but it’s still not 100%," eSysman said, noting that it is ultimately the captain who is responsible for the vessel.
