I can not speak to every company and every install but the boats that we have in the CYOA fleet with water makers will keep up with the typical demand of the boat and crew. We also installed a filtration system with a UV light to sterilize the water so yes the water is potable on our water maker equipped boats.

The feed back over the last couple of seasons has been tremendous from repeat guests that have done it both ways. The availability of water, not having to dock the boat, not having to plan your itinerary around water stops and last but not least fresh water flush heads that don't stink of sulfur all add real value to the trip. Not to mention less plastic trash to dispose of.
