Off-Grid Boat Life: How We Get Fresh Water

How do we get fresh water on a sailboat in remote areas and when we’re on long passages out to sea? There are actually a few different ways, some easier and more affordable than others.

Some sailors call it fresh water or potable water or even drinking water. Today we’re sharing how we get fresh water aboard our sailing catamaran CURIOSITY. These are tips from our Life on a Boat.

If you want to skip to the specifics, here’s what we cover in the video:

00:36 A Marina is the most obvious place to get fresh, potable and safe water on a boat, but…
00:58 There are 3 main ways besides a marina where sailors can get fresh water onto their boat.
01:07 How to collect Rain Water on a sailboat (how we do it).
01:38 Reverse Osmosis (RO) Watermaker.
02:45 Our 120v RO watermaker makes 40 gallons of PURE and SAFE drinking water per hour.
04:06 Discount (or Free Stuff) code it your purchase a Cruise RO Watermaker. Use Discount Code WYNNS when you purchase your watermaker.
5:05 Public water source from land.
06:17 Is a public water source safe to drink or put into the fresh water storage tanks on a boat?
07:17 How much does purified drinking water cost in Tahiti, French Polynesia?
07:27 How much water does the average human need to drink in a day?
07:55 The conclusion. How we get water onto our catamaran. And what we think is the best way to get pure drinking water on any boat.
08:24 Next video we’ll cover how we store freshwater on our boat along with how we filter and purify it to make it safe to drink.

There are a ton of ways sailors get drinking water on their boats, and some will drink the ‘dock water’ or ‘rain water’ without purifying or filtering it. We say it’s risky, but that’s totally cool if they want to use whatever water source as their fresh water. Remember, everything in this video is solely our opinions based on our research and experience of living off the grid for the past 9+ years.

Even though the company Cruise RO Water has offered up a discount code to our viewers, this is NOT a sponsored video. We chose to create this video because we get the question all the time: How do you get drinking water on your sailboat?

If you’re not sure if a 12v or 120v model is better for your boat, shoot them an email or give them a call. When I said in the video I speak to Rich (the owner of the company), it’s not because I’m special…he answers almost every call from all customers. And to us, customer service is the most important part of choosing any product for a sailboat.

Make sure you tell them we sent you and give them the discount code WYNNS so you can get your free cruisers kit (and we get a small kickback if you purchase). It’s stuff you’ll need and it helps us buy more filters. Here’s the RO website: http://www.cruiserowaterandpower.com/
