Key reading
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI Overview · September 21–27, 2026
YachtCharterFleet holds the strongest AI opening share on this market in this card scope, at 18.31%, but the competitive field is distributed, with no concentration around a single name — over this observed period, positions taper gradually from the top-ranked actor down through the panel. asiaglobalyachting.com sits 3.35 percentage points behind YachtCharterFleet on AI opening share on this market, recording 14.96%. yacht-rental-phuket.com records 11.61%, and the remaining actors step down through 3.35% at the bottom of the governed panel. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, yet the 9 sources behind YachtCharterFleet range from 14.96% down to 3.35% — a spread of 14.96 percentage points from top to bottom. The panel includes two general-purpose platforms — facebook.com and youtube.com — alongside niche domains, and 6 of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs while 4 opened AI answers in fewer runs.

Market implication
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI Overview · September 21–27, 2026

FAQ
- What does 'AI opening share on this market' measure?
- It measures how often a given actor is cited at the opening of AI Overview answers across the market's observed query set. This is the primacy slot — who AI reaches for first — not general citation share and not organic search ranking.
- What does this card prove, and what does it not prove?
- This card observes AI opening-control visibility across 7 comparable scheduled runs (September 21–27, 2026) for 105 queries on Luxury Yachting Thailand. It reflects visibility on this surface, not business performance. This observation does not establish a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates — future windows may produce different results.
- Why do two social platforms appear on a luxury yachting surface?
- facebook.com and youtube.com are social platforms, not specialist operators. Their presence on the opening-control rail means AI Overview answers on this market sometimes open with user-generated or discussion-platform content rather than niche domain sources.
