Local media claims that two bodies have been found.

Italian media reports that the two bodies were found as divers searched for survivors amongst the wreckage.

The identities of the two remains unknown, reports Sky News.

The Bayesian yacht sank in the early hours of Monday when it was hit by a sudden and violent storm.

The boat was just off the coast of Palermo, Sicily's capital.

The two bodies are the second and third victims to be found.

From the 22 people that were on board at the time of sinking, there are still four unaccounted for.

Eight divers from across Italy have spent the last two days working tirelessly to find people on board.

There are believed to be between 20 and 50 emergency personnel involved.
