Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · Sep 28 – Oct 4, 2026
facebook.com holds the rank-1 position in the period-wide AI Overview citation ranking for Luxury Yachting Thailand, at 14.83%, but the position remains contestable — no actor on this panel has accumulated a commanding share across the 7-run window.

The 4 sources behind facebook.com range from 11.29% down to 6.40%, and the top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined. All 5 actors on the panel were cited in all 7 comparable runs, yet the surface remains distributed: the spread between rank 1 and rank 5 is 8.43 percentage points.

How the actors read on the surface
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · Sep 28 – Oct 4, 2026
facebook.com holds the strongest AI citation share on this market at 14.83%, accumulated across the 7-run window. As a social platform rather than a specialist operator, its rank-1 position on the AI Overview citation rail signals that AI Overviews are drawing on user-generated and discussion content when answering luxury yachting queries in Thailand.
YachtCharterFleet records 11.29% AI citation share on this market and sits 3.54 percentage points behind facebook.com. Cited in 7 of 7 comparable runs, it is the highest-ranked focused source on the panel — a niche domain that accumulated citation volume across the full window.
youtube.com records 10.98% AI citation share on this market, sitting 3.85 percentage points behind facebook.com. A second general-purpose platform in the top three, its presence underscores that AI Overviews on this market cite video and social content alongside specialist yachting sources.
asiaglobalyachting.com records 8.01% and sits 6.82 percentage points behind facebook.com on AI citation share on this market. Cited in 7 of 7 comparable runs, it occupies the middle of the governed panel as a focused source with a narrower citation footprint.
Blue Voyage Thailand records 6.40% AI citation share on this market and sits 8.43 percentage points behind facebook.com. Despite holding the lowest share on the governed top-5 panel, it was cited in 7 of 7 comparable runs.

The panel splits between two general-purpose platforms (facebook.com and youtube.com) and three focused or niche domains (YachtCharterFleet, asiaglobalyachting.com, Blue Voyage Thailand). The top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined, yet no single actor exceeds 14.83%. The 4 sources behind facebook.com sit between 3.54 and 8.43 percentage points behind it, producing a graduated rather than cliff-edge distribution. The surface is distributed — citation volume is spread across platform and specialist alike, with no actor accumulating a share large enough to reshape the panel structure on its own.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · Sep 28 – Oct 4, 2026
facebook.com — a social platform, not a specialist yachting source — holds the rank-1 AI citation share on this market across the 7-run window. That a user-generated content platform sits atop the AI Overview citation rail for Luxury Yachting Thailand reframes what kind of content AI Overviews reach for when answering specialist queries in this market.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · Sep 28 – Oct 4, 2026
The AI Overview citation rail for Luxury Yachting Thailand is active but far from captured. The rank-1 share sits at 14.83%, and all 5 actors on the governed panel were cited in all 7 comparable runs, which signals a surface where citation volume is distributed across both platforms and focused sources. For any actor monitoring AI citation visibility on this market, the observation suggests that positions on this surface remain contestable across the window — no accumulated share is large enough to signal entrenchment.
