About this record

Superyacht Watch is an independent public record of where superyachts actually go: the arrivals, departures, port calls and yard stays of yachts 30 m and over, derived from their own AIS safety broadcasts. It began with the densest superyacht waters in the world — the Côte d’Azur between Saint-Tropez and Monaco — and grows region by region.

The site is written the way a harbourmaster keeps a log: dated entries, stated plainly. No lifestyle gloss, no speculation about who is on board — the movements themselves are the story. Whether you are a broker checking who is alongside in Port Vauban, crew watching a sister ship, a journalist verifying a port call, or simply curious what that silhouette off Cap Ferrat was, the record reads the same.

Every figure on the site carries its own timestamp, every page states its sources, and the methodology is published in full. Movements land in the record typically within the hour, and the RSS feed carries each new entry as it is written.

The record is deliberately respectful of the people aboard: positions are coarse and published as periodic snapshots rather than a live feed, and owner names are never published. The full stance, including how takedown requests are honoured, is set out in the privacy & takedown policy.

Superyacht Watch is not affiliated with any brokerage, builder or marina. Data is provided for general interest and is not suitable for navigation.
