Soon, we have three boats this year with watermakers and the reactions guests have all been the same. Most will never rent without one again if they can help it.

The freedom to sail where you want when you want without the need to find a water dock is huge. Also elimanting the stress and wasted time of docking multiple times during the week is nice. We are also using fresh water flush on the boats with watermakers. There is a lot less head odor and lower maitenance costs for fresh water flush. In addition we are adding a whole boat filtration system with a UV light that puts potable water at every faucet in the boat. No more bottled water and the associated trash on board.

The watermaker is the new air conditioner in the industry. We will have water makers on seven or eight of our boats next year. We will have a Mahe, a Lagoon 38, a Lipari, two Helia's for sure and maybe a third one, the Saba 50 and a Beneteau 48 that will have them for next season. On a trip to the SVI's that Twanger is on for a big group I would consider it almost mandatory.
