Way back in the day we used Joy soap, which sudses in salt water, and a
bucket. My brother and I thought it was cool to have a "hot" shower if
my dad was charging batteries and we would swim around back with a head
full of soap and let the hot engine exhaust water rinse it off.

My dad and his wife did that for two one year cruises. They painted
the sprayer black for solar heat.

On my previous boat I used this:

I took a cheap pump up garden sprayer and replaced the nozzle with a
generic kitchen sink spray head. I'd wash in cockpit or on foredeck
with lake or brackish water, then rinse with the pump up sprayer.
Worked very well.

I agree about spraying water everywhere. That was one of the
selling points for the 37+. It has an enclosed shower. We found
considerably larger boats with 3 or 4 births and 2 or 3 heads and
none of the heads had enclosed showers. You basically stood/sat
on the toilet and used the faucet while washing down the toilet
paper holder.
The 37+ shower isn't perfect. In fact it is quite tight and for
me and necessitates sitting on the built in bench. It is hard to
use less than 7 gallons of water... But doable. My wife, her
friend, and I all managed to get one shower each out of a 20
gallon tank and we all have long hair. We even had enough hot
water. If it is warm enough we try to use the deck shower which
includes hot water. If we're in a marina we'll use the
bathhouse. If we're up a clean-ish and fresh-ish tributary we'll
wash off on the swim platform.
In short, yes I use the shower...on my 37+. I think the 30 and
the 34/36 have similar layouts and I've thought for years that
the 30 would have been a great way to start with a smaller boat.
