Good Sink Faucet with Diverter

The Chicago website is cumbersome and not very intuitive.
I don't know how the "diversion" takes place, maybe some pressure differential device.

I said in a previous post that Chicago is expensive, (take a sedative before clicking the link.
What you're asking, (longer spout overhang/longer hose,) is going to be a tough order I believe.
I don't think there is such a thing as a "Marine specific" faucet, everything is just commercial/residential/RV.
Chrome? I suppose a bare brass one could turn all brownish-green
Chicago will supply Nickel plated on order.

You could always do as we did...."T" into both the hot and cold hoses feeding your sink. Attach one end of the "T" to your faucet, and the other to a RV Outdoor Shower faucet. The last one I bought was about $30(my spare, bought 2 years ago).; it has both a hot and cold twist valve, no spigot but a top-mounted threaded extension that the flex shower hose screws to. I use one for our transom shower, and one for our fwd head shower-inexpensive and they work great. If you want to change your head bowl fixture, visit Lowes/Home Depot/etc, pick out the style you want (mine requires a single hole type faucet), remove the existing one(there's usually just a single nut you need to unscrew), and mount the new one. I've done that for both our heads(sink fixture and shower fixture in one head, juast the sink fixture in the other with the RV shower faucet) and the galley faucet. They have worked perfectly now for near 20 years!

Consider a laundry sink faucet with an adapter that allows a garden hose to be screwed to it. You can equip any length shower hose with a similar garden hose adapter to mate with the faucet.

OK, one last try:

If price is no object, this comes in 5 different finishes, has a high arch faucet, 5’ hose on the shower handle, adjustable anywhere from 3” to 9” on centers and looks fancy.

Or, pick any high arch faucet that suits your taste and add the diverter on the aerator end.
This one has a hose well over 6’.

Wow, thanks to all for the great ideas!

You've all given me a lot to think about. I'm probably asking too much, or being too picky, not wanting external plumbing or $400+ price tags. I want it to look nice, but not break the bank. Maybe I can combine ideas from @fgd3 and @japawil, and use a laundry sink with a diverter on the aerator. I'm still pondering how I'd make a wedge-shaped fairing block. These faucets all come with a plastic mounting gasket, that could be the pattern. Wish I had a 3D printer!

Edit: I wondered if the RV world has this problem, so I did a quick search. The first link that came up was this:

Posted in 2012! Unfortunately, they didn't mention a diverter, so his fix was easy, just replace the faucet with a regular "home" one.

If you have room on the vanity you could avoid most external plumbing and do the separate shower faucet, but just mount it right behind the sink faucet.
