“On Saint-Barthélemy's luxury yacht charter surface, IYC opens AI answers more than any rival — but no actor controls the primacy slot.”
Quick answer
Barthélemy market across the 6-run window August 31 – September 6, 2026, at 16.57%. yachtcharterfleet.com follows at 10.80%, with facebook.com close behind at 10.61%.
Key reading
Luxury Yacht Charter St. Barthélemy · Saint Barthelemy · AI Overview · Aug 31 – Sep 6, 2026
IYC holds the rank-1 position in the period-wide AI opening-control ranking at 16.57%, but the 9 sources behind IYC range from 10.80% down to 3.91% — a spread of 12.66 percentage points from top to bottom. The top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 7 combined, confirming that the opening-control surface is not concentrated at the top. facebook.com, a social platform, sits at 10.61% — virtually level with yachtcharterfleet.com at 10.80% — which means a general-purpose platform competes for AI primacy alongside focused sources on this market. The lower half of the panel compresses further: from Fraser Yachts at 5.21% down to masterski-pilou.com at 3.91%, the gap narrows sharply. Across this window, 9 of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 6 comparable runs, suggesting the surface drew from a broad set of sources on every observation.

facebook.com records 10.61% AI opening share on this market, sitting 5.96 percentage points behind IYC. As a social platform on a specialist-heavy surface, its presence at the opening of AI answers across all 6 comparable runs is a structural feature worth monitoring.

Fraser Yachts records 5.21% AI opening share on this market and sits 11.36 percentage points behind IYC. Despite opening AI answers on 6 of 6 comparable runs, its cumulative volume places it in the lower tier of the panel.
vitalcharters.com records 4.47% AI opening share on this market and sits 12.10 percentage points behind IYC. It is the only actor on the panel that did not open AI answers in all comparable runs — it opened AI answers on 4 of 6 comparable runs.
wimco.com records 4.28% AI opening share on this market and sits 12.29 percentage points behind IYC. It opened AI answers on 6 of 6 comparable runs, yet its cumulative opening volume keeps it near the bottom of the panel.
masterski-pilou.com records 3.91% AI opening share on this market, the lowest on the governed panel, and sits 12.66 percentage points behind IYC. It opened AI answers on 6 of 6 comparable runs, meaning its low share reflects thin per-run opening volume rather than absence.
Pattern on the observed surface

The opening-control surface for Luxury Yacht Charter St
The opening-control surface for Luxury Yacht Charter St. Barthélemy is distributed rather than concentrated. The top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 7 combined, and the top 2 actors together hold less than the remaining 8 combined — meaning no small cluster commands the primacy slot. The panel mixes focused sources with a social platform (facebook.com at rank 3), which is structurally unusual for a specialist charter market. The 9 sources behind IYC sit between 5.77 and 12.66 percentage points behind it, forming a gradual slope rather than a sharp cliff. vitalcharters.com is the only actor that did not open AI answers in all 6 comparable runs, while the other 9 appeared across every observation — a high-presence, low-concentration surface.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yacht Charter St. Barthélemy · Saint Barthelemy · AI Overview · Aug 31 – Sep 6, 2026
IYC holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail, yet its 16.57% share means AI answers on this market open with a different source the large majority of the time. The presence of facebook.com — a social platform — at rank 3 signals that AI Overview models draw from user-generated and discussion content when constructing opening answers for luxury yacht charter queries in Saint-Barthélemy, not only from specialist domains.
Market implication
Luxury Yacht Charter St. Barthélemy · Saint Barthelemy · AI Overview · Aug 31 – Sep 6, 2026
The AI-answer opening layer on this market is wide open across the observed window. Even IYC, the rank-1 actor by AI opening share, accumulated 16.57% of openings over the period — leaving the surface broadly contested. For any actor monitoring AI visibility on this market, the observation signals that the opening-control rail is not locked by a single source and that the surface draws from a mix of focused sources and a general-purpose platform.

FAQ
- What does 'AI opening share' measure?
- AI opening share measures which actor is cited at the very opening of an AI Overview answer — the source AI reaches for first. It is not the same as general citation share (which counts all citations within an AI answer) and is not related to organic search ranking.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend?
- No. This observation covers 6 comparable scheduled runs in the window August 31 – September 6, 2026. It does not establish a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates, and future windows may produce different results.
- Why does a social platform appear on a luxury yacht charter opening-control panel?
- AI Overview models select opening sources based on content relevance signals, not on whether a domain is a specialist operator. facebook.com appeared on this surface because AI judged its content relevant to the observed queries — this card does not assess why, only that it happened.
