Having a yacht barbecue is a great way to enjoy a meal while yachting. You can purchase yacht barbecue equipment designed for marine purposes, or arrange to have a barbecue on your chartered yacht trip. Read on to learn more about the options available for having a yacht BBQ…
If you decide to purchase barbecuing equipment for your vessel, it should be well secured and durable enough to withstand marine conditions. For example, the Springfield 1940049 propane boat BBQ grill is designed for this purpose and costs about $140. Marine oriented charcoal burning barbecues are also available, such as the stainless steel Magma MAGA10014. Be sure to have an alternative ready, for if weather conditions become unfavorable to BBQ.
Some private chartered yacht services and rental yachts offer to provide an on-board BBQ grill for an extra fee (they might also include it in the price). Others will have their staff prepare and barbecue meals for the passengers at additional cost, which provides greater convenience and leaves more time for other activities. This service is usually billed at a per passenger rate.
Either way, barbecues are sure to add to the enjoyment of your yachting adventures. Always remember to obtain the necessary propane or charcoal beforehand; you certainly don’t want to discover that you’re out of fuel for your barbecue after traveling far from the marina.

Before his overthrow by Islamic revolutionaries in the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the Shah was Iran’s all-powerful top leader. The Shah of Iran yacht he once owned is a rather impressive, large vessel with all sorts of luxurious amenities. It was manufactured during the mid-1950s by Blohm & Voss. However, the current whereabouts and condition of the Shah of Iran yacht remain in dispute.
Is this really it?
A Blohm & Voss yacht appears for sale on escapeartist.com for just under $700,000 dollars and is identified as the Shah of Iran’s former yacht. It is listed in good condition, with four diesel engines and a length of three-hundred feet. The vessel features a theatre, swimming pool, numerous lounges, and over one-hundred rooms. It is located in Austin, Texas. However, another site lists it for sale in California and estimates the value at twenty million dollars.
On the other hand, various blogs, forum messages, and Flickr photos identify an abandoned ship near the New Jersey turnpike as the Shah of Iran yacht. It rests not far from a defunct ferry boat which has been there for many years. Search for marinas near the New Jersey Turnpike here.
Photos of it show a rusted vessel that does resemble the 1955 Blohm & Voss he owned. Some people claim that there was once a marina in the same location, or that a second owner had left the ship in this area after moving it from the Virgin Islands.
Which story is more likely true, and where is the yacht actually located? Considering that there appear to be no archived news reports on the Shah of Iran’s yacht being abandoned in New Jersey, it seems more likely that the ship either remains for sale or has already been sold. Another possibility is that the Shah of Iran owned multiple yachts but I failed to find reports credible reports to back up any theory… what do you know?
