The Cuisinart Grill for Pontoon Boat is a bit on the small side. Let’s start with the downside of this grill. It’s perfect if you’ve got a smaller crowd or just want to make grilled hotdogs. Bottom line, this thing isn’t going to double as your family’s grill. It gets the job done and depending on one what you’re cooking we found it to be pretty small. To put it into perspective, you can easily cook 4 burgers and have room for hot dogs. You could probably try six but I suspect the ones on the edge won’t cool as well. Honestly, even though it’s small, I think that’s the idea.
If you’re looking for a grill for a pontoon boat, then you’ve come to the right place. There are many grills to choose from, from kuuma to magma but all of them seem to have issues. We were excited with Cuisinart entered the market b/c it’s a brand we trust.
The Cuisinart Grill Modified for Pontoon Boat is a bit on the small side. Let’s start with the downside of this grill. It’s perfect if you’ve got a smaller crowd or just want to make grilled hotdogs.

In addition, there were some reviews online that suggested that the mounting might scratch your railing. This is probably inevitable due to the construction of the clamps. Cuisinart chose to make this sturdy and to be sure it wouldn’t move.
With that out of the way, the compact size is actually a strength, and this grill was designed for you to be able to take it with you. We didn’t test it but we suspect this would be an excellent addition to any camping trip. You do need to work to keep this grill clean, because of its smaller size grease can build up faster.
If you’re going to spend a weekend partying it up in the shallows, you might want a bigger grill, but if you’re looking for a solid grill that can make lunch for your family while you enjoy your boat, we think this is a winner. Next to a good pontoon cover and perhaps marine led lighting strips, we think a grill is a must have accessory.

You will see the Grill Brackets installed to the Modified Cuisinart Feet. Please flip the Grill Brackets over before installing them onto your railing. If the Grill Brackets do not go on easily, (the fit should be snug) then don’t force them on. We don’t want you to scratch your railing.
