Outfitting Your Boat Galley

Outfitting your boat galley can be a daunting experience, but I hope these articles will make it less confusing. Buying the equipment for your boat’s kitchen is difficult as there are few reviews of what really works — and, maybe more importantly, doesn’t — in a marine environment.

Full disclosure:  I often recommend products available at Amazon.com and other stores.  My website contains some affiliate marketing links, particularly to Amazon, which means I get paid commission on some sales of those products (it doesn’t cost you anything extra).

HOWEVER, I do not recommend products based on whether or how much I might earn — I base it on whether I think they are good, useful products sold at a good price and I often suggest you just buy something at the nearest Wal-mart if that’s where I’ve seen the best price.  The commissions I earn simply offset my costs in keeping this website running.  If you’d like to support this site through purchases you’re making anyways from other merchants, see the Links page.

The articles listed above can also give you some good ideas for gifts, but if you don’t know exactly what someone wants/needs/has room for in their boat galley, I recommend a gift card from the appropriate merchant and then you can add a note with what you were thinking of (or a print out of the page from this site) — but they can make the final decision.

Finally, when I haven’t actually purchased a product from a given merchant, I say so — sometimes vendors change and I will note that while I heartily endorse the product, I don’t have personal experience with the seller.

      Thanks Marshall — glad that you like them. Amazing how heavy pans produce better results, isn’t it?

    Hi Carolyn, are you familiar with the website Honeyville Grains?
    http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/

    We will be heading to Mexico in October/November this year and although I have used Honeyville for my blanched almond flour and other baking goodies, I am now stocking up on freeze dried veggies for those times when we won’t be able to get fresh and/or happen to be out. I have used the celery and dried onions and find them to be a valuable addition to the cruising pantry. Can’t attest to the carrots, corn or peas, but the dried blueberries are just heavenly and for those that can eat yogurt, the dried fruit yogurt would be great! This is probably old news to you, but thought it worth a mention.

    Thanks for your website, it is amazing how you keep coming up with new ideas!

    BTW, this will be our second trip to Mexico. We spent six seasons there from 1997 – 2003 when we returned to California. So looking forward to going again!

    Hello Caroline,

    During one of our “sailing association” meeting, someone mentionned the Easiyo. An easy thermos to make fresh yogurt. And since your website is very informative I wondered if you had heard about it as well and what was your opinion.

    We are preparing to leave for this coming September (if all sells well..) and move aboard our catamaran with our two children.

    Thank you for a wonderful website filled with great informations.
    Valerie
