Marine Watermakers for Yachts at FLIBS 2026
A reliable marine watermaker gives a yacht greater independence by converting seawater into fresh water for use onboard.
Choosing the correct system depends on vessel size, daily water consumption, available installation space, power supply and the demands of guests and crew.
Yacht-Mate supplies a range of marine watermakers for yachts, covering different capacities and onboard requirements.
Blue Water Explorer Watermaker
One of the systems to consider during FLIBS is the Blue Water Explorer.
The Explorer series combines mechanical controls with electronic monitoring of key system functions and is available in capacities from 475 to 1,800 gallons per day, making it suitable for a broad range of yacht installations.
The range is also upgradeable, allowing the system to accommodate changing onboard water requirements.

Improve Your Yacht’s Dock Water
Producing fresh water offshore is only one part of yacht water management.
When connected to shore water, the quality can vary significantly between marinas. Sediment, minerals, dissolved solids and other contaminants can all affect the water entering the yacht.
Treating water before it reaches the vessel’s systems can help improve onboard water quality and protect equipment.
Blue Water ClearMate Mobile
The Blue Water ClearMate Mobile is a portable reverse-osmosis dock-water treatment system designed specifically for producing ultra-pure water for yacht washdowns and spot-free rinsing.
The system reduces dissolved solids in dock water before the water reaches exterior surfaces. This can be particularly useful on glass, polished stainless steel, paintwork and other areas where conventional marina water can leave visible mineral spotting.
Its mobile design also makes it practical for yachts moving between different marinas.

For yachts requiring a permanently installed solution, Yacht-Mate also supplies the Blue Water ClearMate freshwater RO system.
Yacht Drinking Water Filtration
Water quality onboard is about more than simply filling the freshwater tanks.
Many owners, captains and crew are now looking more closely at the quality of the water actually being consumed onboard.
A properly configured drinking-water system can improve the water available at the tap and reduce reliance on bottled water.
Yacht-Mate stocks drinking-water filtration products alongside sediment filters, carbon filters, reverse-osmosis filtration and specialist cartridges within its yacht water filters and filter housings range.
This allows a yacht’s water treatment system to be considered as a complete process – from the water entering or being produced by the vessel through to the water being consumed by guests and crew.
Marine Water Softeners for Yachts
Hard water can create problems throughout a yacht’s freshwater system.
Calcium and magnesium deposits can build up on equipment and surfaces, while hard-water spotting can make exterior cleaning considerably more difficult.
A marine water softener can help reduce hardness before the water moves through onboard plumbing and equipment.
This can be particularly useful for yachts regularly taking on shore water in areas where mineral content is high.
Yacht-Mate offers portable, onboard and automatic marine water-softening solutions for different vessel requirements.
Replacement Watermaker Filters and Consumables
You do not need to be purchasing a complete new watermaker to take advantage of FLIBS discounts.
Existing watermakers and filtration systems depend on regular maintenance, and replacement filters are an essential part of keeping marine water-treatment equipment operating correctly.
Yacht-Mate stocks a substantial range of yacht water filters and filter housings, including:
- Watermaker filters
- Sediment filters
- Carbon filters
- Drinking-water filters
- Reverse-osmosis filters
- Commercial pre-filters
- Specialty filters
- Filter housings
For example, Yacht-Mate carries replacement filtration products for brands and systems including Blue Water, Idromar, 3M, Above Water Systems and others.
If you operate an Idromar watermaker, Yacht-Mate stocks replacement options including 5-micron and 20-micron filters and carbon filters.
The store also carries Above Water Systems replacement drinking-water cartridges, including AWS-1 Plus and AWS-2 Seagull IV replacement cartridges.
Using the correct replacement filter matters. Filter dimensions, micron ratings, flow requirements and system specifications can differ considerably between installations.
If you are unsure which filter you need, provide Yacht-Mate with the manufacturer, model and part number of the existing equipment.
Which Yacht Water Treatment System Do You Need?
There is no single water-treatment setup that is right for every yacht.
A smaller private vessel may require a compact watermaker and drinking-water filtration system. A larger yacht may need high-capacity freshwater production, dock-water treatment, water softening, sterilization and separate point-of-use drinking-water filtration.
Yacht-Mate can help identify equipment based on your vessel, existing installation and operational requirements.
You can browse the Yacht-Mate marine water treatment store or speak directly with the team in Fort Lauderdale for help selecting equipment and replacement components.
