Avoid This Pontoon Party Boat Accessory in 2024

The Portable Gas Fire Table

Ok, this might be a longshot!  

Possible?  Yes.  

Seen it in person?  No.  

Recommended?  No.

This 24” x 24” gas fire table could also act as a table when not in use.  It’ll add some great ambiance at night but it would need to be strapped down and secure.  Check it out and do your own homework. Unfortunately, we’ve seen numerous other sites recommend these and we simply can’t.  

What we don’t like:

  • It will tip over and burn your boat 
  • A big wave will cause you or a friend to lose your balance and then fall into it and get burnt
  • Your boat will burn, sink, and your party will end

Things to Consider About Pontoon Party Boat Accessories

Planning a pontoon party undoubtedly requires a lot of work. You need to plan out exactly what you’ll need while you’re out on the water so we hope the previous list has helped. 

pontoon party boat on a lake

Choosing the right products can give you plenty of extra space to enjoy your trip and help you brighten up the atmosphere as well.

Price:

Make sure that you’re picking the products that are within your price range, because you’ll find plenty of options to suit your needs, so don’t rush into a decision and end up with a product you might never use again that has also cost you a pretty penny.

Material:

Always consider what material the products are made of as it’s a huge indicator of its durability.

Usability:

Figure out how the product can be used and if you actually need it. If you’re having a nighttime party, then you may want to consider the under deck lighting to liven up the ambiance. Also, if you’re having a large party where you need to feed your guests, then look for the CGG-180T grill which is very flexible to use as it can be hung anywhere on your railing.

Final Thoughts
