About Us
“The barbecues are so good I had to buy the company”
Marine Barbecues Australia was founded in 1995 with a focus on manufacturing high-grade marine stainless steel barbecues designed for the boating industry. Maurice Gilet was an early believer in the product—owning one himself and selling them through his boat brokerage at Pittwater. In June 2014, he decided, “The barbecues are so good, I had to buy the company.”
From humble beginnings in a garage to factory units in Taylors Beach, Port Stephens, the company has grown and evolved. Now known as Caravan and Marine Barbecues, we continue to develop and refine our range to meet the needs of boating and caravanning enthusiasts.
In 2024, after years of dedication to the business, Maurice made the decision to retire, passing the company into the hands of Michael, who is passionate about continuing the legacy of quality and innovation. All of our barbecues are designed and manufactured to comply with Australian standards for use on boats and caravans, including flame failure safety features. Each model is certified by the Australian Gas Association (AGA), ensuring they meet the highest safety and performance standards.
Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. Your trust and support have driven the growth of our business, and we are incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. We are committed to delivering exceptional quality, outstanding service, and innovative solutions to make your outdoor cooking experience the best it can be.
As we look ahead, we’re excited about the future of Caravan and Marine Barbecues. With a diverse range of products—including our Galleymate Marine Barbecues for yachts, powerboats, and houseboats, as well as the Sizzler range designed specifically for caravans, RVs, and camper trailers—we have a barbecue to suit everyone. We also offer a variety of accessories, such as mounting options, stands, slide systems, and utensil trays, to enhance convenience and versatility.
We look forward to continuing this journey with you, bringing you the best in portable barbecuing for years to come.
