We have used the charcoal grill on eight of my nine Bareboat Charters in the BVI. While it can be tricky getting it lit in the wind while at anchor or on a ball, it's all part of the adventure. We have had to use the deck cushions to block the wind before. Lighter Fluid helps. We've lost rolling dogs too! Just adds to the story! I say don't over-think it. You're going to have a great time!
I will say that last year our boat from BVI Yacht Charters had a propane grill which was life changing! We're chartering the same boat again in July. Way easier!
Have a great trip!
Thanks for the vote of confidence! We will be on Big Blue (an Oceanis 35.1), which looks to have a charcoal grill from the pictures, but perhaps we will be pleasantly surprised with propane!
