From what I understand, FL folks used to go to the Bahamas
during the summer to avoid the heat. Personally, I see using an AC
via a genset in an anchorage as bad manners. Around here I rarely
see sailboats even in the hottest part of the summer be rude enough
to run a genset all night in an anchorage. Sadly enough, it does appear
to be a frequent occurrance on the powerboats.

And a lot of them have no clue, since they're buttoned up inside and
can't hear it.

However, having a genset & AC doesn't mean you have to run it all night.
Usually during hot weather, we'll run it for the most intense heat of
the day. Keeps the boat drier inside too.
