Cooking Tips For Boat Owners

When you host guests on your boat, they’re likely to get hungry. Instead of relying on granola bars to tide you over until you get to shore, why not add a hot meal to your boat trip? There are a number of items you can cook on your boat that will make for a lovely repast to have while you float on the water. Here are some tips on how you can successfully cook food on your boat.

Use a Boat Grill

Small boat grills are designed to be safely used on boats, and they either mount to the railing or to a swivel seat for stability. A grill makes it easy to prepare foods like fish, chicken, vegetable kebabs, burgers, and hot dogs for your guests. You can also wrap foods in aluminum foil to prepare them on your grill.

Prepare on Shore

It’s best to avoid wielding a sharp knife or other pointy cooking tools while you’re on a boat. Instead, do a lot of your prep work in advance: cut up meat, fruits, and vegetables while you’re docked or at your home and store them in Tupperware containers in a cooler until you need them. This will also reduce the mess you create.

Clean-Up Tips

Having bags for trash and recycling in secure containers with latching lids will help you keep all the refuse from your party contained until you can dispose of it on shore. You’ll also want some paper towels and spray cleaner to clean up surfaces and a mop, broom, and dustpan to tidy up your deck.
