The charter boats morphed into having generators running full time to power AC units. So the addition of a water maker is easy with the power available from the generator. Some water makers tend to be maintenance hogs so that will be a challenge for a charter company to keep them running. Yet the convenience of having so much water can be a positive game changer for many short term charter boats. What will they think of next!?!
We are currently working with the US and British governments to develop self sailing boats that will steer around rocks and navigate. In addition the next generation will have dynamic positioning capabilities to avoid the race for moorings and the need to wake up in the wee hours of the morning just to reserve a ball. :-)
Uber has also reached out about designated drivers to tender folks back and forth to their yachts thus eliminating the need for tenders on board. This takes care of all kinds of problems. No pesky water in the fuel, no stolen dinghies, no lost dinghies, no one gets divorced for staying at the Willy T to long because they can't remember which tender is theirs etc. Uber eats delivered to the boat would be the next logical step. Then you would never need to leave the mother ship. :-) We will then install drones that can visit the beach of your choice and stream video back to the boats live to eliminate that pesky sand in the boat. You can watch the beach live on the big screen in the salon while running the AC units.
