If you find yourself comfortably enjoying your cruising and feel you can enjoy your anticipated cruising then it may make sense. Many people are happy without them, especially sailors.

That said, we would not be without one. There is something about having to conserve water on a boat we just find very uncomfortable. We like to shower and like full showers. We don't want to wash our dishes in salt water then rinse in fresh. We wash clothes and we don't like to wear clothes many times between washing as some cruisers feel comfortable doing so. To us the watermaker is a key toward our feeling of cleanliness and comfort. We also don't like the idea of having to warn guests to conserve water as many do.

But it's a personal thing and only you can really know how you are without one.
