Portable Aircon for your Boat

Call me old-fashioned, but we just jump off the back of the boat when it gets a bit warm.

In your jammies?

The key benefit of this isn't during the day when you are swimming or general boating, it's at night when it's hot and humid and you need some sleep.

Or for keeping pets cool, say on a day like today.

Does it duct the heat outside?

Yes.

You have a choice, sit the unit outside and duct the cool in, or sit the unit inside and duct the hot out.

You can duct the return air in or out as well, depending on which way you've got it set up. Like in a car, you can have fresh cool air in, or recycle the cool air in the cabin.

Easiest way to set it up on a boat is make up a spare washboard, or board to go over an open hatch, with a hole in it of the appropriate size for the duct. It also comes with a high density foam block that is easy to mount into windows (such as sliding windows, common on campervans but less so on boats) so it's easy as to bung the hot exhaust duct outside.
