How the actors read on the surface
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · August 10–16, 2026
youtube.com holds the rank-1 position in the period-wide AI Overview citation ranking at 14.75%, a platform rather than specialist operator drawing AI citations across the Luxury Yachting Thailand query set. It was cited in 6 of 6 comparable runs, yet its lead over the next actor is only 1.00 percentage points — a margin that offers no structural cushion on this surface.
YachtCharterFleet records 13.75% AI citation share on this market, occupying the second position in the period ranking. It sits 1.00 percentage points behind youtube.com on AI citation share on this market and was cited in 6 of 6 comparable runs, making it the closest challenger on this citation rail.
asiaglobalyachting.com records 10.86% AI citation share on this market and sits 3.89 percentage points behind youtube.com. Cited in 6 of 6 comparable runs, it anchors the middle of the governed panel — visible across the full window but at a measurable distance from the top two.
yacht-rental-phuket.com records 10.09% AI citation share on this market, sitting 4.66 percentage points behind youtube.com. It was cited in 6 of 6 comparable runs, holding a position close to asiaglobalyachting.com and contributing to the graduated shape of the lower panel.
Blue Voyage Thailand records 7.96% AI citation share on this market, the lowest on the governed top-5 panel. It sits 6.78 percentage points behind youtube.com on AI citation share on this market, yet it too was cited in 6 of 6 comparable runs — present throughout the window despite carrying the smallest cumulative share.

The panel is distributed rather than concentrated
The panel is distributed rather than concentrated. The top 2 actors together hold less than the remaining 3 combined, which means no pair commands a majority of AI Overview citations on this market. The 4 sources behind youtube.com range from 13.75% down to 7.96%, a graduated field rather than a sharp drop-off. A general-purpose platform sits at the top of a panel otherwise composed of focused sources and niche domains — a structural mix that signals the AI Overview citation rail on Luxury Yachting Thailand draws from varied source types without privileging any single category.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · August 10–16, 2026
youtube.com — a general-purpose platform — holds the rank-1 position on the AI Overview citation rail for Luxury Yachting Thailand, ahead of four focused sources. That a platform rather than a specialist operator leads this surface across the 6-run window reframes what kind of content AI Overviews reach for when answering luxury yachting queries in Thailand.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · August 10–16, 2026
The AI Overview citation rail on this market is active but fragmented — multiple names appear, yet none has locked it down over the observed window. With a top-to-bottom spread of only 6.78 percentage points and all five actors cited in every comparable run, the citation surface remains open. Any operator monitoring AI Overview visibility on Luxury Yachting Thailand should note that citation share is dispersed enough that small shifts in cumulative volume could rearrange the period ranking.
