The body of collector Tim Klingender was found in the wreckage of the overturned fishing boat while that of the technology businessman who was with him, 51-year-old Andrew Findlay, has not been found but is presumed dead.
Police say they are continuing to search for the man who went missing in the mysterious accident on a chartered fishing yacht in Sydney Harbour, but say they do not believe he may have survived.
The tragedy had occurred on the cliffs of The Gap near the entrance to Sydney Harbour.
Police Chief Joe McNulty described the crash as "a tragic accident that could have been avoided" as he said he believed none of the men, who had extensive seafaring experience, were wearing life jackets.
"They weren't wearing life jackets, maybe that would have saved their lives," he said, adding that the sea conditions were rough and the water temperatures were low.
The two men were old anglers and had set out in the boat on Thursday morning, sailing near the base of the rocks.
"They were fishing with rods and hooks and it seems that they were hit by a strong wave that threw them both into the ocean," added the officer, although it was strange that the experienced men were swept away by the waves.
Findlay was a technology company entrepreneur and had three young children.
Klingender was a respected expert on Australian Aboriginal art and a consultant to Sotheby's auctions, which in Australia is called Smith & Singer as of 2019.
The deceased is considered instrumental in bringing Australian Aboriginal art to world attention and the global market.
