Provided herein are methods and processes for wet-towing and installing a bucket foundation or mono-bucket for a wind turbine with or without the wind turbine mounted thereto in a body of water, such as a sea, an ocean or a lake. The methods and processes utilize at least a pair of wrap buoys secured to the bucket foundation or mono-bucket where the release thereof alters buoyancy such that the bucket foundation or mono-bucket submerges to a target site in the body of water.
