We always barbecue on charter and had no problem feeding 5 on a Moorings 42 the first time we went. We always buy lighter fluid since we find it a bit hard to light the coals in the wind. We usually bring steaks, dogs and burgers from home (frozen of course). You can get them locally.
Our last charter had an awkwardly placed and difficult to use grill but this was on a 34 ft monohull, all the others have worked well. Also bring a headlamp because you may well be barbecuing after dark. Check there are barbecue utensils before you leave the base.
I've been debating whether/how much to bring frozen from home and what to buy locally. It will probably come down to whether or not we have room for a little polar bear cooler in the carryon!
We'll be on a 35-ft mono so hopefully we won't run into the same issue with grill placement. Headlamps are already on the packing list and thanks very much for the tip about the grill utensils! I'll add it to the list of items to check before heading out!
