General Boating

Everything You Need to Live Well on the Water

Whether you're anchoring out for a weekend, cruising coastal waterways, or living aboard full-time, the quality of your onboard gear makes all the difference. General boating supplies cover the full range of equipment that keeps your galley running, your crew comfortable, and your time on the water as enjoyable as possible. From reliable marine refrigeration to compact cooking solutions and outdoor grilling, outfitting your boat properly is as important as maintaining the engine or hull.

The Heart of the Boat: Galley Appliances

The galley is where comfort meets function aboard any vessel. A dependable marine refrigerator is one of the most critical investments a boater can make — keeping provisions fresh over multi-day passages or extended stays at anchor demands a unit built to handle the unique challenges of the marine environment: vibration, humidity, salt air, and the power limitations of a 12V or AC electrical system.

Norcold is the dominant name in marine refrigeration, and for good reason. Long trusted by boaters and RVers alike, Norcold specializes in purpose-built refrigerators and freezers engineered specifically for demanding mobile environments, offering a wide range of capacities and configurations to suit everything from small powerboats to large liveaboard cruisers.

Dometic is another heavyweight in the marine world, offering a comprehensive lineup of refrigeration solutions designed to make the most of limited galley space. Their products range from compact drawer-style fridges ideal for center console boats to larger freestanding units suited for offshore passage-making yachts, with innovative features like dual locking systems and flexible cooling unit placement.

Cooking on the Water: Stoves, Cooktops & Barbecues

Preparing meals aboard requires equipment that is compact, safe, and built to handle motion and moisture. Marine stoves and cooktops are engineered with deep fiddle rails, secure pot holders, and corrosion-resistant materials that standard home appliances simply can't match. Whether you prefer a propane two-burner cooktop or an alcohol-fueled cabin stove, choosing the right marine unit keeps mealtime safe and efficient.

For open-air cooking, few things beat a proper marine barbecue. Boat grills must contend with saltwater spray, high winds, and limited mounting real estate — which is why purpose-built marine BBQs are a far better choice than adapting a backyard grill. Magma is arguably the most recognized name in marine grilling. Founded in 1976, Magma builds its grills from 18-8 mirror-polished stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance and offers an extensive range of mounting solutions to fit virtually any boat. Their lineup includes kettle-style charcoal grills, propane Gourmet Series models, and infrared options, backed by a comprehensive warranty.

Rounding out the cooking category, Kuuma Products delivers a focused lineup of marine stoves and grills engineered for boaters who demand reliability and a small footprint. Their products are a popular choice on sailboats and powerboats where space is at a premium. For barbecue and table mounts, Magma again leads the field with the largest selection of standard-duty and heavy-duty mounting hardware designed to secure grills safely to rails, rod holders, and other boat fixtures.

Tools & Essentials

Every boater knows that having the right tools aboard can mean the difference between a quick fix and a long wait for a tow. Marine-rated hand tools, multi-tools, and specialty instruments designed to resist rust and corrosion are essential components of any well-prepared vessel. Seachoice offers a broad catalog of marine accessories and hardware covering a wide variety of onboard needs, making them a reliable go-to for boaters looking to stock up on practical essentials at accessible price points.
