Key reading
Luxury Yachting Italy / Amalfi Coast · Amalfi / Capri / Positano · AI Overview · September 7–13, 2026
YachtCharterFleet holds the rank-1 position on the period-wide AI Overview opening-control ranking at 28.02%, with the next actor — frontieryachting.com — sitting 19.46 percentage points behind it at 8.56%. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, which means the opening-control surface on this market is structurally top-heavy across the 6-run observation period. The 9 sources behind YachtCharterFleet range from 8.56% down to 3.89%, a compressed trailing field where no single challenger has accumulated enough opening volume to close the gap. Two social platforms — youtube.com and facebook.com — appear in the governed panel alongside niche domains, a mix that signals AI is drawing from varied source types when opening answers on this market.

The opening-control rail on this market is structurally top-heavy. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, and the 9 sources behind YachtCharterFleet sit between 19.46 and 24.12 percentage points behind it. The panel mixes niche domains with two general-purpose platforms — youtube.com and facebook.com — which means AI is not exclusively reaching for specialist sources when opening answers on luxury yachting queries in Italy. 7 of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 6 comparable runs; 3 opened AI answers in fewer runs, introducing variation in the trailing portion of the panel.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting Italy / Amalfi Coast · Amalfi / Capri / Positano · AI Overview · September 7–13, 2026
YachtCharterFleet holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail by cumulative volume over the period, yet the surface behind it is populated by a mix of focused sources and platforms rather than a single challenger class. The presence of youtube.com and facebook.com alongside specialist domains suggests the AI model draws from structurally different source types when constructing its opening answer on this market.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting Italy / Amalfi Coast · Amalfi / Capri / Positano · AI Overview · September 7–13, 2026

FAQ
- What does AI opening share measure?
- AI opening share captures which source AI Overviews reach for first when constructing an answer. It measures the opening-control slot — the actor cited at the very beginning of the AI answer — not general citation frequency and not organic search ranking.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend on this market?
- This card observes an observation period of 6 comparable scheduled runs from September 7–13, 2026. It does not establish a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future windows may produce different results.
- How are the period values calculated?
- Each actor's AI opening share is the sum of its raw AI answer openings across all 6 comparable runs, divided by a single period-wide denominator. The panel is ranked by cumulative opening volume over the period, not by an average of daily values. AI Overview opening-control evidence was available on 6 of 6 runs in the comparable window.
