Desert planet with surface mainly covered with water

My question is : Is it possible to have a hot desert planet with no significant vegetation with the surface mainly covered with liquid water?

Normally, we should expect to have rain overland because of the difference of temperate and pressure between the land and the ocean. But can I make it so that it doesn't rain or only rarely over the whole planet?

• Surface temperatures should be between 0°C and 100°C.
• Water coverage should be above 50% of the surface.

Edit: What about chemistry? The atmosphere could be radically different.
