Back of the boat? Scrub and Nanny Cay (high end resort vibe vs outdoor restaurant/Tiki Bar beach vibe) but either way you'll pay for a slip. BaardJ is right about Leverick, it's ok and serves the purpose.

Penns Landing has great showers and the great Red Rock Restaurant at the end of the dock or mooring balls if you prefer. Excellent provisioning including a veggie stand by dingy or a short walk.

Cleanliness of one's charter boat showers is largely up to < guess who>. How much water needed for a shower is also up to the same < guess who>, but I've never been on a charter boat that had no hot water. I've showered at Marina Cay, at Leverick, at Conch Base, Fat Hog's Bay and first 2 charters ever, at Red Hook, but frankly, I'd rather stay on the boat where my clothes, towels and toiletries reside than schlep from Boat to Bath House and back. YMMV.

I just think the ladies might enjoy a shower about the midway point of the trip, where they don't have to worry so much about the amount of water they are using! Watermaker on boats such as Sea Tiger(TTOL Sponsor) and Scuba Doo at TMM. Showers with little to no concern about amount water used. (Less stress on captain)

Thanks everyone! We are very cool with doing almost all the showering on board. I just think the ladies might enjoy a shower about the midway point of the trip, where they don't have to worry so much about the amount of water they are using! Spend a night or two on the dock and you won't have to worry about water use either. Just top off.

Nanny Cay marina has a nice shower facilities. Leverick Bay marina showers are basic but OK. Baard's boat Cuvee has nicer showers than most of the marinas. It also has a large watermaker so you can use them. :-)

Showers should not be optional on vacation.
And I was thinking I was on "vacation" so boring stuff like showers would be optional.
Life's short - sail more!

Respectfully disagree.
Best shower is taken after diving or snorkeling is on board with water created by the onboard water maker and heated by engine or generator.
Better than chocolate.
