Bareboat

Bareboat charters with a water maker give you greater independence when exploring the BVI and Caribbean. Instead of planning your route around marina stops for fresh water, you can produce it on board while sailing. This feature is ideal for longer trips, families, or groups who value the convenience of having an unlimited supply of fresh water for showers, cooking, and cleaning while at sea. Browse our listings of bareboat yachts with water makers and choose the vessel that best fits your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why choose a bareboat charter with a water maker?

A water maker reduces the need to dock for refills, giving you more freedom to anchor in remote bays and extend your time on the water.

2. How does a water maker work on a bareboat?

The system takes in seawater and filters it through desalination to produce fresh, drinkable water. It is typically powered by the yacht’s generator or engines.

3. Do I need to know how to operate the water maker?

Yes, on bareboat charters, you will be responsible for managing the system, but the yacht briefing will include instructions. They are generally simple to use once explained.

4. Can I run the water maker in shallow or busy waters?

It is recommended to run the system only in deeper, cleaner water. Shallow areas or marinas may contain sediment or pollutants that could affect performance.

5. How much water does a yacht's water maker produce?

Most bareboat yachts with water makers can produce several gallons per hour, enough for showers, cooking, and daily use. Exact output varies by yacht model.

6. Does using the water maker consume much energy?

Yes. The system requires power, so it is usually run while the engines or generator are operating. Energy management is important when planning use on a bareboat.

7. Is the water safe to drink?

Absolutely. The desalination process produces clean, safe drinking water, though some guests still prefer bottled water for taste.

8. Is there a limit to water usage on a yacht with a water maker?

While you can produce water as needed, it is always wise to use fresh water responsibly, especially on longer passages.

"Better Than We Could Have Ever Imagined"

From the planning stage to last day of our trip, we could not have asked for any better experience. Alexia and crew were wonderful to deal with.

"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.
