Key reading
Luxury Yacht Charter St. Barthélemy · Saint Barthelemy · AI Overview · August 24–30, 2026
IYC holds the strongest AI opening share on this market in this period-wide ranking, at 17.90%, yet that share leaves the vast majority of AI answer openings distributed across nine other sources. The 9 sources behind IYC range from 12.66% down to 3.98%, and the spread between the rank-1 and rank-10 actor is 13.92 percentage points. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, but even that concentration is modest — the surface is tiered rather than locked. None of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs, which means the opening-control rail drew from a shifting pool of sources across the window. For a niche luxury market observed across 126 queries, this degree of dispersion signals that the AI primacy slot remains genuinely contested.

How the actors read on the surface
Luxury Yacht Charter St. Barthélemy · Saint Barthelemy · AI Overview · August 24–30, 2026
IYC holds the strongest AI opening share on this market in this card scope, at 17.90%, accumulating the highest opening volume across the 7-run window. It opened AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs, placing it among the most frequently visible sources on this rail — though not present in every run.
facebook.com records 12.66% AI opening share on this market and sits 5.24 percentage points behind IYC. As a social platform rather than a specialist source, its rank-2 position on the opening-control rail is a structural signal: AI reaches for user-generated content to open answers on this luxury charter surface. It opened AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs.
Northrop & Johnson records 10.49% AI opening share on this market, sitting 7.41 percentage points behind IYC. It opened AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs, anchoring the third position in the period-wide ranking with a meaningful gap below the top two.
yachtcharterfleet.com records 7.59% AI opening share on this market and sits 10.31 percentage points behind IYC. It opened AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs, occupying a mid-panel position where the gap to the lead widens sharply.
stbartsblue.com records 6.87% AI opening share on this market, sitting 11.03 percentage points behind IYC. It opened AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs, holding a narrow edge over the actors immediately below it in the period-wide ranking.
clickandboat.com records 6.69% AI opening share on this market and sits 11.21 percentage points behind IYC. It opened AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs, clustering tightly with stbartsblue.com in the middle of the panel.
masterski-pilou.com records 5.61% AI opening share on this market, sitting 12.30 percentage points behind IYC. It opened AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs, contributing a modest but recurring slice of AI answer openings across the window.
wimco.com records 5.06% AI opening share on this market and sits 12.84 percentage points behind IYC. It opened AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs, positioned in the lower tier of the panel by cumulative opening volume.
Burgess Yachts records 4.16% AI opening share on this market, sitting 13.74 percentage points behind IYC. It opened AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs, holding rank 9 in the period-wide ranking with a slim margin above the panel floor.
boatcrowd.com records 3.98% AI opening share on this market and sits 13.92 percentage points behind IYC. It opened AI answers on 4 of 7 comparable runs — the lowest presence frequency on the panel — suggesting its opening-control visibility was intermittent across the window.
Pattern on the observed surface
Luxury Yacht Charter St. Barthélemy · Saint Barthelemy · AI Overview · August 24–30, 2026
The panel is top-heavy but not dominated
The panel is top-heavy but not dominated. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, yet the rank-1 share of 17.90% is far from a controlling position. Below the top three, the surface flattens into a cluster of niche domains separated by small increments — the 9 sources behind IYC sit between 5.24 and 13.92 percentage points behind it. None of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs. The presence of facebook.com at rank 2 — a social platform on a specialist luxury surface — gives the panel a mixed composition that is unusual for a niche charter market. The overall shape is tiered dispersion: a clear rank-1 actor, a gap, a mid-tier cluster, and a thin tail.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yacht Charter St. Barthélemy · Saint Barthelemy · AI Overview · August 24–30, 2026
IYC holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail, yet the AI-answer layer for Saint-Barthélemy yacht charters remains wide open across the 7-run window. Even the strongest actor accumulated less than a fifth of all observed openings over the period, and the remaining nine sources fragment the surface further. For any actor monitoring this market, the opening-control rail is a contested space where cumulative volume — not a single decisive run — determines period-wide position.
Market implication
Luxury Yacht Charter St. Barthélemy · Saint Barthelemy · AI Overview · August 24–30, 2026
The AI Overview opening-control surface for Luxury Yacht Charter St. Barthélemy remains unsettled across the observed window. No actor has secured a commanding share of AI answer openings, and the presence of a social platform at rank 2 suggests that AI engines draw from a structurally diverse source pool when answering queries on this market. The spread of 13.92 percentage points between rank 1 and rank 10 is narrow enough that shifts in cumulative opening volume across future windows could rearrange the panel. Monitoring this surface over successive windows will reveal whether the current tiered dispersion persists or whether any actor begins to consolidate the primacy slot.

FAQ
- What does AI opening share measure?
- AI opening share captures which source is cited at the very opening of an AI Overview answer — the first source AI reaches for when constructing its response. It is distinct from general citation share, which counts all citations anywhere in the AI answer, and from organic search ranking.
- How were the values in this card calculated?
- Each actor's AI opening share is the sum of its opening citations across all 7 comparable scheduled runs in the August 24–30, 2026 window, divided by a single period-wide denominator. The panel is ranked by cumulative opening volume over the period, not by an average of daily values.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend?
- No. This observation does not establish a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates. The 7-run window provides a period snapshot, not a trajectory. Future windows may produce different rankings.
