LPG Cookers and Hobs: Professional Performance in the Marine Galley

For many boaters, nothing beats the controllability and familiarity of cooking with gas. Our range of LPG Cookers and Hobs brings domestic-standard performance to the water, allowing you to fry, simmer, bake, and grill with precision.

Whether you are fitting out a narrowboat galley with a full-size range or looking for a space-saving hob for a sailing yacht, our selection features robust, marine-grade appliances from industry leaders like Thetford and Dometic.

Designed Specifically for Life on the Water

A marine gas cooker is fundamentally different from a domestic household version. Our appliances are selected for their ability to withstand the movement and environment of a boat:

• Flame Failure Devices (FFD): Mandatory for marine use, these safety sensors automatically shut off the gas supply if the flame is extinguished by a draught or a boil-over.

• Compact & Integrated Designs: Choose from built-in hobs, integrated ovens, or complete freestanding units designed to fit the standard dimensions of a boat’s galley.

• Gimbal Options: For sailing vessels, we offer hobs and cookers that can be gimballed to remain level while the boat is heeling.

• Easy-Clean Surfaces: Featuring stainless steel and toughened glass finishes that are durable enough for the rigours of life on the cut.

Gas Safety & BSS Requirements

LPG safety is the highest priority when installing cooking appliances in a confined space. Every cooker we supply is fully compliant with the Boat Safety Scheme (BSS). This includes ensuring proper ventilation is present in the galley and that the appliance is correctly connected using approved copper piping and marine-grade fittings.

We strongly recommend that all LPG installations and servicing are carried out by a Gas Safe Registered engineer with a marine endorsement.

Converting to a “Gas-Free” boat? If you are looking to move away from LPG entirely, you may want to explore our range of Diesel Cookers as an alternative.

Replacing an old galley range? Finding the right fit for an existing aperture can be tricky. Contact our technical team for advice on dimensions, heat outputs, and the latest BSS-compliant gas connection kits.
