Product Overview
Factory-direct commercial rides built for profit.
More Than a BBQ Boat. A Floating Entertainment Destination.
Traditional boats simply move people from one place to another.
A commercial BBQ boat creates a destination by itself.
Instead of selling transportation, operators create premium on-water experiences where families, friends and small groups can relax, cook, celebrate and spend more time together.
Because guests stay longer, operators are able to generate revenue from multiple sources including boat rental, food, beverages and seasonal activities.
Whether operating on a lake, resort, campground or waterfront park, one boat can serve as both an attraction and a dining venue.
Designed to Keep Guests On the Water Longer
Most sightseeing boats provide only one experience: the ride.
A floating BBQ boat naturally extends guest stay because the experience combines cruising, dining and social interaction.
Guests are not simply riding.
They are cooking.
Talking.
Taking photos.
Celebrating birthdays.
Sharing meals.
Watching sunsets.
Longer stay usually creates more opportunities for additional spending without increasing staffing requirements.
Built for Commercial Operation
Every structural component is selected for commercial outdoor operation rather than occasional recreational use.
The rotomolded PE hull resists impacts, UV exposure and corrosion without the cracking commonly associated with fiberglass construction.
The battery-powered propulsion system operates quietly with very little routine maintenance.
The self-draining hull allows rainwater to leave naturally without manual pumping after normal rainfall.
Daily preparation simply includes charging the batteries, checking safety equipment and preparing charcoal.
Comfortable for Groups of Up to Eight People
The circular seating layout naturally encourages conversation.
Unlike traditional boats where passengers sit in rows, everyone faces each other around the BBQ table.
The integrated dining layout makes the experience suitable for:
- Families
- Friends
- Team building
- Resort guests
- Birthday parties
- Couples
- Small celebrations
The removable umbrella provides shade during summer operation while maintaining an open-air atmosphere.
Suitable for Multiple Commercial Venues
The boat is suitable for calm water including:
- Lakes
- Resort lagoons
- Tourism parks
- Campgrounds
- Scenic rivers
- Hotel waterfronts
- Farm parks
- Private waterfront communities
Recommended minimum operating water depth:
30 cm (12 inches)
For saltwater environments, a marine corrosion-resistant propulsion configuration can be customized upon request.
Custom Solutions for Different Business Models
Every park operates differently.
OEM and customization services include:
- Logo branding
- Hull color customization
- LED lighting packages
- Bluetooth audio
- Enclosed cabin solutions
- Custom canopy systems
- Marine configuration
- Resort branding
The same commercial platform can be adapted for different climates, operating styles and customer groups.

Whether you are expanding an existing attraction or creating a completely new waterfront experience, our team can help configure the most suitable solution for your project.
Best Operating Practices
Proper operation not only improves safety, but also helps reduce maintenance, extend equipment life, and deliver a better experience for every guest.
Always Wear Life Jackets
All passengers should wear approved life jackets throughout the entire trip, regardless of local operating requirements.
Adult Supervision for Young Children
Children under 14 years old should always be accompanied by a responsible adult while using the boat and the onboard BBQ grill.
Operate Only in Calm Water
This boat is designed for lakes, rivers, reservoirs and other calm water environments. Suspend operation during strong winds, thunderstorms, heavy rain or rough water conditions.
Keep the Propeller Area Clear
Regularly remove aquatic weeds, ropes, fishing lines and other floating debris around the propeller. Keeping the propulsion system clear helps maintain reliable performance and reduces unnecessary motor load.
Secure the Boat When Not in Use
Always moor the boat when it is not operating. Wind and natural water movement may cause the boat to drift if left unsecured.
Commercial PE Hull
Minor contact with docks or shorelines is part of normal commercial operation. The rotomolded PE hull is engineered to tolerate everyday impacts significantly better than traditional fiberglass construction.
Clean the BBQ Area After Each Rental
Remove charcoal residue, grease and food waste after daily operation. Routine cleaning helps maintain appearance, improves hygiene and keeps the boat ready for the next guests.
Check Battery Charge Before Opening
Confirm sufficient battery capacity before each operating day to avoid unnecessary interruptions during rental hours.
Follow Local Operating Regulations
Operators should comply with all applicable local boating, fire safety and commercial operating regulations in their country or region.
Well-maintained equipment creates better guest experiences, fewer service interruptions and more repeat business over the long term.
