Quatreau® Multifunction Taps for Yachts
Quatreau water systems are ideally suited for yachts, providing filtered boiling, chilled and sparkling water on demand for drinking, cooking and entertaining on board. Designed for yacht kitchens, galleys, bars and living spaces, these multifunction taps combine several water options in one installation and offer a convenient alternative to kettles, water coolers and bottled-water supplies.
Storing sufficient drinking water can occupy valuable space during longer journeys or when entertaining guests. A Quatreau system produces filtered water as required, reducing the number of bottles that need to be purchased, transported and stored. The approximate footprint of a Quatreau TouchTap™ system is comparable to 36 one-litre bottles. The system can also integrate with water purification equipment where improved onboard water quality or taste is required.
The Quatreau TouchTap™ combines filtered boiling, chilled and sparkling water with mains hot and cold water in one five-function multifunction tap. For a configurable secondary drinking-water station, the Quatreau SmartTap™ is available in two- and three-function combinations of boiling, chilled, sparkling or ambient water. An optional recessed drip tray creates a self-contained station for yacht bars, guest areas and other locations away from a sink.
Manufactured using corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel, TouchTap™ and SmartTap™ are suited to demanding marine environments. TouchTap™ and SmartTap™ are available in 11 finishes, with custom RAL powder coating also available to coordinate with cabinetry, fittings or the wider yacht interior.

Reducing Bottled Water on Board
Sparkling water is one reason many yacht owners and guests continue to rely on single-use plastic bottles. Quatreau yacht water systems provide sparkling water on demand, offering a more sustainable alternative while reducing the number of bottles that must be transported, stored and disposed of on board.
Quatreau multifunction taps dispense boiling, chilled and sparkling water and can integrate with water purification systems where required. Yacht owners can therefore enjoy filtered still and sparkling water throughout their journey without sacrificing convenience, taste or valuable onboard storage space.
Making More Room on Board
Maintaining a reliable supply of good-quality drinking water can be challenging in a marine environment. Bottled mineral water occupies valuable storage space on a yacht, while the quality and taste of water held in onboard freshwater tanks can vary. An integrated yacht water purification and dispensing system helps address both concerns by providing filtered drinking water at the point of use.
Made in the UK
QUATREAU® is the only tap system on the market to use 316 stainless steel (avoiding the environmental impact caused by plating) throughout its manufacturing processes. Our water heaters and elements (electro-polished) are highly resistant to corrosion and suitable for all types of potable water including low conductivity and RO Water. Even our filter housings and system casings are 316 stainless providing for long life and recycling value, something often overlooked in today’s lifestyle products.
DESIGN INNOVATION
STYLE
Quatreau® multifunction taps combine clean, considered design with durable stainless-steel construction and a wide choice of finishes. A selection of brushed and polished finishes, together with Matte Black, allows each tap to complement surrounding fittings and interiors. Custom RAL powder-coated finishes are also available for selected models.
FUNCTION
The Quatreau® collection provides filtered boiling, chilled, sparkling and ambient water through a range of multifunction tap configurations. Selected systems also combine these drinking-water options with mains hot and cold water. Modular and compact under-counter designs offer different combinations and capacities, allowing the system to be specified around the required water functions and available space.
SUSTAINABILITY
Providing filtered chilled and sparkling water on demand can reduce reliance on delivered bottled water. Refilling glasses and reusable bottles at the point of use helps reduce packaging, transport and storage requirements, while also freeing space otherwise used for full and empty bottles.
Quatreau® systems are designed to dispense only the water required, with insulated under-counter components supporting efficient everyday operation. The UN Environment Programme recommends prioritising reusable products over single-use alternatives.
