This is what I do. I have a smallish room dehumidifier that I keep running in my boats full time. It sits on the galley counter and drains into the sink. It runs almost full time as I set the humidity level at 35%. That is very low but since it only sits in the galley the rest of the boat won't hit that same level.

The only downside is that even though it is "portable" it still is a bit of a pain to take off the boat and put in a dock box or stash in an empty cabin when getting under way. The boat stays very dry however.
