Estimate

Busy-time intelligence

August: historical occupancy estimate 99% (ESTIMATED). VERY_HIGH July–August Drivers: New England August; tiny island inventory. Fog and ferry schedules can strand a perfectly reserved yacht on the mainland. This is an estimate derived from declared inventory and seasonal demand, not a live sensor count or a passenger-style headcount.
