That's a common sight if you go boating in the Bahamas or Caribbean.
At 50 cents a gallon in some locations it can cost us over $100 to
fill up. That's still a lot cheaper than making your own however.

I assume you have an RO, how much does it cost to make water.

We have tankage for 500 gallons so have never felt the need for a
water maker (RO). They cost upwards of $5 to $7K to buy and install,
take up valuable engine room space, and require a lot of
TLC/maintenance. In addition you need to run the generator which has
a fully loaded cost of $8 to $10 per hour. Assuming a 20 gph water
maker, you're looking at a fully loaded cost in the 70 to 90 cents per
gallon range depending on how you depreciate/amortize the purchase
price.
