Busy-time intelligence

August: historical occupancy estimate 88% (ESTIMATED). HIGH May–October (southeast trades / dry-ish season) Drivers: Pacific crossing landfall; Society Islands start. A full marina often means the crossing cohort arrived together. This is an estimate derived from declared inventory and seasonal demand, not a live sensor count or a passenger-style headcount.
