Superyacht Guide

Data Confidence & Provenance Intelligence

Understand what Superyacht Guide knows, what the evidence supports, what is reported, what is estimated and where evidence remains limited.

There is no single yacht “accuracy score”. Confidence belongs to individual facts and data categories. The same yacht can have a source-backed identity, strong technical records, an estimated valuation, low-confidence ownership reporting and verified documentary operating-cost evidence at the same time.

How confidence is classified

VERIFIED

Strong documentary or primary evidence, used only where the evidence type supports that description.

SOURCE-BACKED

Attributable evidence supports the record, without implying every individual field has been independently verified.

REPORTED / ESTIMATED

Publicly reported information or an editorial, market or modelled estimate rather than a verified legal or transaction fact.

LIMITED / CONFLICTING / UNKNOWN

Evidence is sparse, uncertain, disputed, conflicting or not currently sufficient.

Provenance profile

Eclipse

Blohm + Voss · 162.50 m

3 record-level sources

Existing record verification: Partially verified · Medium
This existing record-level assessment is separate from the dimensional analysis below.

Identity

SOURCE-BACKED

The yacht record has attributable source evidence supporting its public profile.

Evidence: Includes high-confidence source evidence

Records: 3

Record-level sources may support several profile fields. A source count does not mean every individual field has been independently verified.

Technical data

SOURCE-BACKED

10 major technical data areas are populated and the yacht has attributable record-level sources.

Evidence: Includes high-confidence source evidence

Records: 3

Technical confidence is conservative because existing YachtSource records are often record-level rather than mapped one-to-one to every technical field.

Build / project status

NOT APPLICABLE

No active structured project-status record is published for this yacht.

Valuation

ESTIMATED

The latest public valuation is a Superyacht Guide editorial estimate.

Evidence: Source URL recorded

Records: 1

Relevant date: 15 May 2026

Estimated values, asking prices, transaction values and insured values are different evidence classes and must not be treated as equivalent.

Operating cost

ESTIMATED

A stored estimated annual running-cost figure exists, but no public documentary YachtCostRecord supports it as actual expenditure.

Legacy or modelled running-cost figures must not be presented as actual operating expenditure.

Ownership

REPORTED

Publicly sourced ownership or association reporting is recorded.

Evidence: medium

Records: 1

Reported, commissioning, state, corporate and beneficial ownership concepts are not automatically equivalent.

Market status

RECORDED

1 live charter listing recorded on Superyacht Guide.

Records: 1

A live database listing is not a guarantee that the yacht remains available at this moment. Market status should be reconfirmed with the relevant broker or agent.

Recorded yacht sources

These are record-level provenance sources. Their presence does not mean each source independently verifies every field.

Important: More sources do not automatically mean a fact is more accurate. One authoritative primary document can be stronger than many derivative articles. Source count, source quality, recency, conflicts and whether a figure is reported, estimated or documented must all be considered together.
