Busy-time intelligence

August: historical occupancy estimate 96% (ESTIMATED). VERY_HIGH July–August Drivers: Costa del Sol season. Depth and LOA reject more yachts than the reservation desk does. This is an estimate derived from declared inventory and seasonal demand, not a live sensor count or a passenger-style headcount.
