The clip was taken by the CCTV cameras of a villa just 200m from where the boat sank.
The £14million luxury vessel capsized on Monday after it was caught in a tornado off the coast of Porticello, Sicily.
The new footage shows the lights of the doomed vessel in the distance slowly disappear as it is swallowed by the heavy rain.
One witness said he looked at his cameras when he heard the news, according to Giornale Di Sicilia.
"In just sixty seconds - says the owner of the villa - you can see the ship disappear.
It comes as...
- 'UK's Bill Gates' Mike Lynch & his daughter Hannah, 18, remain missing on the wreck
- Also missing are Jonathan Bloomer, Judy Bloomer, Chris Morvillo and Neda Morvillo
- Lynch's wife revealed how she was awoken by a 'tilt' as the yacht sunk
- The captain of the Bayesian broke his silence on the horror storm
- Experts believe the yacht's 'tallest mast in the world' may have contributed to the disaster
- Pictures showed the tiny raft that saved up to 15 people
- Frantic text messages from the survivors revealed the chaos
"Of about twenty cameras installed in the house, only one was not disturbed by the wind and rain. You can clearly see what is happening.
"There was nothing that could be done for the boat. It disappeared in a very short time."
It is believed there is a second video which has not been published that shows the boat sinking.
‘Brit Bill Gates’ Mike Lynch was ‘hosting party for employees’ on Bayesian yacht before it sank as 4 Brits feared dead
The clock is ticking with drivers trying to fight their way through blockages in the 50m deep wreck.
They have now opened a hole in the hull of the Bayesian to get in through another direction, Italian outlet Il Messaggero reports.
Furniture has made it impossible for the divers to move through the inside of the boat and reach the cabins.
As time runs out, the brave search and rescue workers only have 10 minutes working in the water at a time.
The divers had also been able to enter the boat via a ladder and reach the lounge, but they have had to find another way to reach other parts of the boat.
