Biggest issue I think is if you have a lot of crew and you don't have a watermaker there is no dock to get water, except Fajardo. We just conserve water when we're there (only two of us usually) and try to get a boat with large tanks but that's not an option for everyone. No one mentioned the Bio Bay (Mosquito Bay on the south side of Vieques) so I'll put a plug in for that


Its my family and they have sailed with the "water nazi" aka Dad before. Add Im looking at a Lagoon 450 and prob only going for five nights and should be little concern. Although I would love to see how a week with a watermaker would change the experience. Wow - I started with those 5 gallon sun showers you would lie on the deck and hope it heated enough by the afternoon to hoist on the halyard and bath <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />


We now have, at CYOA charters, or will have shortly eight boats with water makers in the fleet including three of our Helia 44's. It is a different experience with water to spare. These boats are also equipped with drinking water quality filter systems including a UV light. So potable water at every tap. With no plastic trash to deal with. And for the ladies, fresh water flushing heads. No sulfur smell from dead micro organisms in the toilet. I almost forgot to mention most of these boats also have ice makers as well. You can ask Twanger how that worked out. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Remember the first time you rented a boat with air conditioning? Did not need it either until you have had it.
