How Superyacht Guide Verifies Listings

Superyacht Guide uses editorial review, public sources, company information and industry context to improve the quality, accuracy and usefulness of its directory listings.

Our verification approach

Superyacht Guide is an independent editorial directory and awards platform for the global superyacht sector. Directory listings may include publicly available company information, editorial notes, service categories, locations, badges, featured visibility and Superyacht Guide recognition.

Verification is designed to improve listing quality and user confidence. It does not replace a user’s own commercial, operational, legal, technical, safety or financial checks before appointing a company or relying on information.

What listing status labels mean

Unverified

The company may be listed in the directory, but the profile has not yet been reviewed in detail or confirmed against stronger public or company sources.

Basic checked

Basic identity or directory information has been reviewed against available sources. This may include name, country, website, service type or publicly available business information.

Official source checked

Key profile information has been checked against an official company website, official company material, recognised industry source or other reliable public source.

Company confirmed

The company or an authorised representative has provided information or confirmed details for the listing. Company confirmation helps improve accuracy, but Superyacht Guide may still edit, review or decline claims where information cannot be supported.

Featured, recommended, badges and awards

Featured Partner

Featured Partner placement indicates promotional visibility or paid placement. It is separate from Superyacht Guide Stars, awards and editorial recommendation.

Verified Business

Verified Business indicates that identity, source or listing information has been reviewed against available company, public or industry sources.

SYG Recommended

SYG Recommended is an editorial recommendation based on available evidence, relevance, profile quality and industry context.

Service Badges

Service Badges classify the type of service a company provides, such as brokerage, refit, agency, design, technical support, provisioning or supply. A service badge is a directory classification, not a technical certification.

Superyacht Guide Stars and Awards

Superyacht Guide Stars and Awards are separate editorial recognitions awarded through published criteria, review and industry research. They recognise distinction, quality, significance and contribution within the superyacht world.

Corrections and profile claims

Companies, representatives, captains, managers and industry users may request corrections or submit a claim for a business profile. All business claims are manually reviewed. Submitting a claim does not automatically guarantee ownership, approval, ranking, verification, recommendation or award status.

Typical acceptable evidence may include a company-domain email address, an official website showing the requester or business contact, a LinkedIn or company staff page, or registration and business contact evidence.

Ongoing review

Superyacht Guide may update, correct, merge, remove, reclassify or review listings, badges and recognition as better information becomes available.
