They were concerned. Because of the wetness, musty odor and diesel smell they could not sleep comfortably in their cabin and had to sleep elsewhere on the yacht. (The diesel fuel tank is located below their cabin) Additionally, the wife said every time they would return from a trip their cloths smelled like diesel.

The owners installed a RiteAire Marine™ Dehumidifying System in their yacht in December of 2013 and are ecstatic with the results! The wetness, musty smell and diesel odors are gone. The owners can sleep comfortably in their cabin and their clothes no longer smell of diesel.

Pat, the Seahawk’s Captain says, “Every boat has a distinctive smell … they ALL smell of fumes and heavy musty wetness. Add a RiteAire Marine™ Dehumidifier and the smell, musty odor and wetness goes away almost immediately.”

Captain Pat, “Before we installed a RiteAire Marine™ Dehumidifier in the Seahawk, we ran our air conditioners constantly, even then, when you would touch hard surfaces in the yacht like the granite counter tops they felt WET.

After installing the RiteAire Marine™, everything is dry to the touch.

RiteAire Marine™ allows us to keep the yacht at 70ºF with 45% humidity. Perfect!

Before RiteAire Marine™, we had to constantly clean the carpets with heavy duty machines to get rid of the moisture and musty smell. We had to stay ahead of it, or the wetness and musty odor would get really bad. With RiteAire Marine™, this is no longer necessary.

In addition to solving the wetness and odor problem, the RiteAire Marine™ will save my owners a lot of time and money and keep their yacht in better condition.”

According to Captain Pat, “You could blindfold me and take me onboard a dozen yachts. If only one had a RiteAire Marine™ system installed and running, I could pick it out right away.”

I captain a 66 foot enclosed bridge Viking called the Princess Lily. The yacht, built in 2014, is beautiful inside and out and a big part of my job is to keep it that way.

I’ve been around big boats a long time and during the high heat, high humidity days of summer in southern Florida,
I seem to get allergy-like symptoms of itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose.

The catch is, I don’t have allergies and I only get bothered when I am on a big boat for a couple of days or more.

The problem is caused by the excess humidity present inside most every yacht, in the fabrics, the carpet, the vents, the wooden appointments, anywhere moisture can hide.

In June of 2015, the owners of the Princess Lily, had a RiteAire Marine™ Dehumidification System custom installed, four months after the yacht was purchased.

The company said their system would maintain the interior of the yacht at a constant, perfect humidity level whatever the temperature, inside or out.

I admit, I was skeptical at first, but immediately after the RiteAire Marine™ was installed, I felt the difference immediately, and so did the owners.

In no time at all, RiteAire Marine™ took the excess humidity out of the boat without affecting the inside temperature at all, something air conditioners alone cannot do.

It also took away my watery eyes and runny nose. I was amazed.

After that, we set the humidity level on the RiteAire Marine™ control to a healthy 49% and that is where it stays regardless of the temperature inside or out.

Their custom installation pulls moist air in, then sends dry air out from the RiteAire Marine™ unit to multiple living zones within the boat. Then the “boat air” returns to the RiteAire for recirculation. It’s like an airflow circle. Operation is foolproof, automatic, quiet and uses very little power.

RiteAire Marine™ is a great solution for the owner of the Princess Lily.

It will help his family and guests enjoy the benefits of healthy humidity levels while protecting the beautiful interior of his yacht from moisture.

As the Captain of the Princess Lily, I am very pleased with the high quality installation, performance and benefits of the RiteAire Marine™ Dehumidifier and I would recommend it to any big boat owner.

While at the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show, I saw the RiteAire Marine™ Dehumidifier for the first time. I looked carefully at the product and the specifications and thought, this is the system that is not only going to protect my investment, it is going to provide my family and me the perfect healthy balance between temperature and humidity in the interior of my yacht, and do it automatically. Automatic is important to me.

I had the RiteAire Marine™ Dehumidifier installed while my yacht was in drydock undergoing a complete interior makeover.

While undertaking a project of this magnitude, I worked with numerousmarine “system specialists, such as plumbers, electricians, carpenters, mechanics, engineers, and designers. With all of them, there were issues and complications and yes, even cost overruns. This was NOT the case with RiteAire Marine™.

They came and installed the system quickly and perfectly. No one did a better or more professional job installing equipment on my yacht than RiteAire Marine™. I am very, very pleased.

My Baia 84 has been in the water a little more than a month, inside and out, it is better than new. And I can rest easy knowing that my RiteAire Marine™ Dehumidifier is going to help keep it that way, 24/7 automatically. No smells of any kind, no moisture just the perfect healthy balance between temperature and humidity.

I am very, very pleased with RiteAire Marine™ and would recommend this outstanding system to any yacht owner wishing to protect his health and his yacht from mold and moisture.

Thanks RiteAire Marine™ for a job well done!
