Not enough tracking data yet for a reliable 24-hour figure. This number appears once enough yachts have 24 continuous hours of usable observations.
This is not an error: a figure is only published once a yacht has enough usable tracking data across a full 24-hour window to support a reliable estimate. The quality check is working as intended.
This site is non-profit, but not free to run. If you like inconvenient numbers, transparency and mildly annoying billionaires, buy me a coffee. It's appreciated.
Support WakeprintThese cards measure different things: the total fleet Wakeprint tries to track, the subset with enough reliable 24-hour tracking data to estimate emissions, and the smaller groups for which a published value or guest capacity is known. That is why the denominators differ.

0.0%
Average share of the 24h window covered by usable observations, across only the vessels that are currently published. A separate measurement from the 24-hour data pass rate elsewhere on this page — this one describes completeness within already-published vessels, not how many vessels qualify for publication in the first place.
Observed positions in EU waters
0 of 468 targeted vessels observed in EU waters in the current window.
EU waters here means the territorial seas and internal waters of EU member states; Monaco has neither and is not included. Vessels anchored just outside Monaco may lie in adjacent French waters and are counted there.
Live AIS · positions delayed by at least 15 minutes · not a realtime tracker.
This map updates continuously as new AIS positions arrive. Other figures on this site (fleet totals, emissions) refresh hourly and may reflect a slightly earlier moment — they are not always perfectly in sync with this live view.
The rules that do not reach them
Superyachts are among the most carbon-intensive forms of private transport in the world — burning enormous amounts of fuel to carry a handful of guests.
Yet when these vessels move through EU waters, anchor off our coasts or call at our ports, they can remain outside climate rules and carbon-pricing systems that already apply to other major emitters.
Wakeprint makes that footprint visible and comparable. Using vessel movements, published specifications and transparent emission models, we show what superyachts emit in EU waters — underway, at anchor and in port.
Because before we can judge whether the rules are fair, we need to know who is emitting what — and who is still escaping the bill.
The EU already prices CO₂ from intra-EU flights (since 2012) and commercial shipping (since 2024). From 2028, ETS2 will extend carbon pricing to road-transport fuel and building-heating fuel for the first time, adding an estimated €80–150 per year to typical household bills. To offset this, the EU created an €87 billion Social Climate Fund (2026–2032) for vulnerable households. ETS2 covers road transport and building-heating fuel specifically — marine/bunker fuel, including that used by private yachts, falls outside its scope entirely. The same system does not reach superyachts.

Live ranking from the published fleet view, sorted by upper-bound CO₂. Only yachts with enough reliable 24-hour tracking data appear here, so the list can be shorter than five — it is never padded.

Every figure on this site is labelled Observed, Published specification, or Estimated — and links to the exact model and data source behind it. Nothing here is stated as fact without a traceable source.
- Observed
- An AIS message was received: position, speed over ground, timestamp.
- Published specification
- A static figure from builder, registry or class records — length, tonnage, engine configuration, maximum guest berths.
- Estimated
- A model output with an uncertainty range: fuel burn, CO2, market value.
- Insufficient coverage
- Too little observational data in the window to publish a confident figure.
Provenance-first: observed data and modelled estimates are never mixed without saying so.
