Two more bodies have been found inside the wreck of the Bayesian yacht, Sicily's civil protection agency has confirmed.
They are still inside the boat.
Earlier, two other bodies were located inside the sunken vessel - they have now been brought ashore.
The identities of the four people found this afternoon have not yet been confirmed.
This means two passengers, onboard the yacht when it sank on Monday, remain missing.
Italian officials are likely informing families and loved ones before releasing information to the wider public, and the media.
British tech magnate Mike Lynch and five other people were missing after their luxury superyacht sank during a freak storm off Sicily early on Monday, Italy’s civil protection and authorities said.
Lynch’s wife and 14 other people survived.
Lynch, who was acquitted in June in a big U.S. fraud trial, was among six people who went missing after their chartered sailboat sank off Porticello, near Palermo, sometime after 4am.
The ship had a crew of 10 people and 12 passengers, the Italian coast guard said. A sudden fierce storm had battered the area overnight, and a waterspout struck precisely where the 56-metre British-flagged Bayesian had been moored.
