Everyone works up an appetite while boating, but having meals on a boat can sometimes be challenging. Space is limited for cooking… and even more limited for stowing a variety of cooking equipment. If you are out on the hook for a meal you want to conserve power – or you may not have power at all – which also limits your cookware options.

Boaters tend to keep things simple for food on the water… and some may not like to cook at all on a boat. But after awhile, cold sandwiches from the cooler can become a bit boring and it’s nice to have a little variety in your menu by cooking a meal.

With a bit of pre-planning for meals and the right gear for your boat galley, cooking or dining on a boat can be much easier than you’d think. From bow riders to motor yachts, there’s no reason why you can’t keep your boat stocked with some basic cooking essentials to serve your crew a meal on the water.

The best space saving idea for boat galleys is to choose equipment that has a dual-purpose… particularly useful if you like to cook a variety of things. Also, limit your boat galley cooking equipment to a few essentials that you will use regularly (like a bbq grill or cooktop hot plate). For cooking on the hook with no shore power, choose items that can run off of your 12V power or draw low amps from a power inverter. Cooking with propane on a barbeque grill is also a great no power way to prepare food on a boat.

Here are some of my recommendations for cookware, tableware and food storage ideas that are designed to work well in a marine environment – making it easy and convenient to make a meal on a boat.

More Ideas to Save Space and Power in a Boat Galley

Here are some more general space saving ideas for tight quarters in a boat galley:

– Buy dual-purpose and multiple-use items to maximize your boat galley gear
– Use stacking pots, bowls, dishes and other nesting sets to save storage space
– Invest in disposable zip-loc bags for storing items rather than bulky storage containers
– Use a drying mat that can fold rather than a dish drain board

For maximizing power when cooking on a boat, buy cooking appliances that can work with no power, little power, 12V or with an inverter. Ideas include a pressure cooker, rice cooker with inverter or bbq grill with propane tank.
