Key reading
Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur · Cannes / Antibes / Saint-Tropez · AI citation · August 3–9, 2026
arthaudyachting.com holds the strongest AI citation share on this market at 12.35%, but the gap to the rest of the panel is narrow — youtube.com sits just 1.30 percentage points behind, and internationalyachtscharterandbrokerage.com trails by 1.98 percentage points. The entire top-to-bottom spread across the five actors is 3.21 percentage points, a compressed range that leaves every position contestable. Notably, arthaudyachting.com and youtube.com appeared in 7 of 7 comparable runs, while internationalyachtscharterandbrokerage.com appeared in only 1 of 7 comparable runs and excellenceriviera.com in 3 of 7 comparable runs — presence frequency varies sharply even among actors with similar mean citation shares. The panel mixes a general-purpose platform (youtube.com) with focused sources, yet neither category secures a decisive citation advantage on this AI Overview surface over the observed period.

How the actors read on the surface
Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur · Cannes / Antibes / Saint-Tropez · AI citation · August 3–9, 2026
arthaudyachting.com holds the rank-1 position on the AI Overview citation rail for this market, recording 12.35% mean AI citation share across the 7-run window. It appeared in 7 of 7 comparable runs, making it the most consistently cited focused source on this surface during the observed period.
youtube.com records 11.05% AI citation share and appeared in 7 of 7 comparable runs — matching arthaudyachting.com's consistency. As a general-purpose platform, it sits 1.30 percentage points behind the panel lead on a surface otherwise populated by focused sources.
internationalyachtscharterandbrokerage.com
internationalyachtscharterandbrokerage.com records 10.37% AI citation share but appeared in only 1 of 7 comparable runs. Its mean value is close to the panel lead, yet its intermittent presence across the window makes it the most episodic actor in the top five.
samboat.fr records 9.36% AI citation share and appeared in 5 of 7 comparable runs. Its presence is more regular than the bottom of the panel, but its citation share sits 2.99 percentage points below the lead — enough to keep it in the lower tier of this compressed surface.
excellenceriviera.com records 9.13% AI citation share and appeared in 3 of 7 comparable runs. It occupies the bottom of the panel, trailing arthaudyachting.com by the full 3.21 percentage points that define the top-to-bottom spread.
Pattern on the observed surface

The panel is remarkably flat
The panel is remarkably flat. A 3.21 percentage-point spread across five actors means no position is structurally secure. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 2 combined, yet the top 2 actors together hold less than the remaining 3 combined — concentration at the very top is absent. Presence frequency diverges sharply from mean citation share: two actors appeared in every run, one in only a single run, and the remaining two in between. The surface mixes a general-purpose platform with focused sources, yet neither category claims a structural advantage on the AI Overview citation rail over this 7-run window.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur · Cannes / Antibes / Saint-Tropez · AI citation · August 3–9, 2026
arthaudyachting.com — a focused source, not a general-purpose platform — holds the rank-1 AI citation share on this market across the 7-run window. That a niche domain edges out youtube.com on the AI Overview citation rail for Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur, even by the slender margin of 1.30 percentage points, is a structural detail worth monitoring: it suggests AI Overviews are drawing on specialized content for this market's queries.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur · Cannes / Antibes / Saint-Tropez · AI citation · August 3–9, 2026
The observed AI Overview citation surface for Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur remains unsettled across the 7-run window. No actor on this panel holds established citation authority on this surface — every segment of the panel is contestable. For anyone monitoring AI citation behavior on this market, the signal is that the citation rail is still distributing attention thinly and inconsistently, with presence frequency varying sharply even among actors with comparable mean shares.

FAQ
- What does 'AI citation share on this market' measure?
- It measures how often an actor's domain appears as a cited source inside AI Overview answers across the market's observed query set. It does not measure who opens those AI answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Can this card be read as a business-market ranking?
- No. This card observes the AI Overview citation rail only — it reflects which domains AI Overviews cite when answering 104 queries on the Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur market. It is not a measure of commercial market position, revenue, or fleet size.
- Why do some actors appear in fewer runs than others?
- AI Overview content varies by query, model behavior, and date. An actor cited in 1 of 7 comparable runs may have been surfaced by AI Overviews on a specific day or query subset but not consistently across the window. Presence frequency is an actor-specific count, distinct from the family evidence coverage (which was 7 of 7 runs for this card).
