Key reading
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · Jul 27 – Aug 2, 2026
youtube.com holds the rank-1 position in the period-wide AI Overview citation ranking for Luxury Yachting Thailand, yet its 17.53% share leaves the surface far from settled. YachtCharterFleet sits 3.34 percentage points behind youtube.com on AI citation share on this market, close enough to keep the top of the panel contested. Behind those two, Blue Voyage Thailand at 8.41%, yacht-rental-phuket.com at 8.20%, and asiaglobalyachting.com at 7.77% form a tightly compressed trailing group. The spread between the rank-1 and rank-5 actors is 9.76 percentage points — narrow by any standard for a five-actor panel observed across 7 comparable runs. The non-obvious read: a general-purpose platform, not a focused source, accumulated the highest AI citation volume on a specialist market over this window.

The panel splits into two visible tiers across this window
The panel splits into two visible tiers across this window. youtube.com and YachtCharterFleet form a top pair — the top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined. Below them, the 4 sources behind youtube.com range from 14.19% down to 7.77%, with the bottom three compressed into a band so tight that the difference between rank 3 and rank 5 is marginal. The surface is top-heavy but not monopolized: the rank-1 actor's share is modest enough that the structure reads as contested rather than concentrated.
Why this reading matters

Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · Jul 27 – Aug 2, 2026
The AI Overview citation rail on Luxury Yachting Thailand remains wide open across this 7-run window.
