Best benefit is the Captain now has company during the cruise and isn't abandoned by all the passengers, who are enjoying the cruise from the lounge area on the bow. I find that this area provides a separate circulation area for guests. At a party, do you always want everyone in ur face all the tim...

What country are you in?

Recommended. My fridge is 120V only. Having an inverter means that I can keep the fridge cold while underway without running the generator. Also useful for coffee in the a.m. as noted, without waking others on the boat or in the anchorage.
