Unless your sailing vessel features great canvas coverage above deck, we find boat grills — like any other grill — aren’t the most wind-durable machines on their own merits. That’s not to say there aren’t solutions. For starters, facing the lid away from the wind while opening and closing will shield your burner. Cooking with a solid griddle will inhibit the wind while saving flaky food from slipping between the cracks. If all else fails, infrared boat grills don’t use flame burners. In fact, they consider breezes adorable and will laugh at a stiff gust directly to its face.
