All Yachts with Water Maker in the BVI & Caribbean

A water maker is one of the most valued features on board a yacht, giving you the ability to convert seawater into fresh water during your charter. With this convenience, you can spend more time at sea without needing to return to port for refills. Whether you choose a bareboat or a fully crewed yacht, our selection of water maker–equipped yachts in the BVI and Caribbean ensures added comfort and independence while you explore.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the main advantage of having a water maker on board?

A water maker allows you to create fresh water while at sea, reducing the need to return to marinas for refills and giving you more freedom to stay anchored in remote locations.

2. Does a water maker produce enough for all guests?

Yes. Most yacht water makers generate more than enough fresh water for daily use, including showers, cooking, and cleaning. Capacity varies by yacht, so it is always best to check the listing.

3. Is the water from a yacht's water maker safe to drink?

Yes. The water is filtered and desalinated, making it safe for drinking and cooking. Many guests prefer to use it directly for daily needs.

4. Do I need to operate the water maker myself?

On bareboat charters, you may need to manage the system following the yacht’s instructions. On crewed yachts, the crew will handle everything for you.

5. Does using the water maker require power?

Yes. Water makers generally require the generator or engines to be running to operate. Energy management will depend on the yacht’s systems and capacity.

6. Can I use the water maker while the yacht is in shallow water or at anchor?

Water makers are best used when the yacht is in deeper, cleaner water. Running them in very shallow areas, near busy harbours, or where the water may contain pollutants is not recommended.

7. How long does it take to make fresh water?

The process is relatively quick, with most systems producing several gallons per hour. The exact rate depends on the size and model of the yacht’s water maker.

8. Is there a limit to how much water I can make?

Technically, you can make as much as you need, provided the system is running and has power. However, it is always good practice to use fresh water responsibly while on charter.

"Another Amazing Week With VCY"

Amazing customer service. Highly recommend VCY ahead of the other two big companies on the island with very little customer service.
