Bodrum Watermaker

Marine Water Systems for Yachts, Sailing Boats, Catamarans & Gulets

Water Independence on the Bodrum Peninsula

Bodrum is one of Turkey's most established yachting centres — and one of its most diverse. The peninsula sits at the crossroads of the Aegean, with easy access to the Greek islands and the Gulf of Gökova, making it a natural base for extended passages in all directions. Milta Bodrum Marina in the town centre, Yalıkavak Marina to the north-west and D-Marin Turgutreis to the west together serve thousands of vessels every season.

The range of boats using Bodrum's waters is unusually wide: compact sailing yachts and performance catamarans on one end, large motor yachts and superyachts on the other. This diversity means watermaker requirements vary significantly — a 12V DC system like the SCW-30 or SCW-50 suits a liveaboard sailor perfectly, while a motor yacht running a generator will benefit from the higher output of the SCW-150 or SCW-350.

The Gulf of Gökova, accessible directly from Bodrum, offers weeks of blue cruising without returning to any marina. A Seacraft watermaker on board means you can anchor in any cove, for as long as you like, with a continuous supply of WHO-standard drinking water.

Seacraft Watermakers provides on-site installation and technical service across Turkey. Our team comes directly to your boat in Bodrum — no need to move to another port.

Why a Watermaker Makes Sense in Bodrum

Gateway to Gökova and the Greek Islands

Bodrum is the departure point for two of the Aegean's great cruising grounds — the Gulf of Gökova and the Dodecanese islands. Multi-day passages away from marinas are the norm here. A watermaker means you never have to cut a trip short for water.

High-Season Marina Costs

Bodrum's marinas are among the busiest and most expensive on the Turkish coast during summer. Producing your own fresh water at electricity cost alone saves meaningfully over a full season — particularly for boats on long-term berths or charter programmes.

Every Boat Type Covered

Bodrum's diverse fleet demands a diverse product range. From 12V DC systems for compact sailing yachts and catamarans to 230V high-output units for motor yachts and superyachts — Seacraft has a model that fits your exact setup.

WHO-Standard Drinking Water

Seacraft watermakers use reverse osmosis technology to produce drinking water that meets WHO standards. At Bodrum's 3.8% salinity, output ranges from 30 litres per hour on the compact SCW-30 to 350 litres per hour on the SCW-350.

Choosing the Right Capacity for Your Boat

Capacity choice depends on how you use your boat — not just its size. Crew numbers, daily consumption habits and available power supply are the key deciding factors.

Model Output Power Typical Use
SCW-30 30 L/hr 12V DC Small sailing yacht, minimal crew, low power preference View
SCW-50 50–60 L/hr 12V DC Sailing yacht, catamaran, moderate consumption View
SCW-100 100 L/hr 230V / 50Hz Sailing yacht, catamaran, small-medium motor yacht View
SCW-150 150 L/hr 230V / 50Hz Motor yacht, gulet, large sailing yacht View
SCW-350 350 L/hr 230V / 50Hz Large motor yacht, superyacht, large gulet View
