1) need to have space for it
2) need to have power, so at marina or run genset
3) need to have water, so at the marina or watermaker (and run genset)
So the answer really depends on the size of boat, and how you use it. Like a refrigerator, if you don't have one at home you won't miss it on the boat. But compared to a refrigerator, it ties you much closer to a dock, or water and power that you must generate onboard.
