Every Tristram adventure is more than a journey across the water. It’s the stories told, the moments shared, and the memories made along the way. From quiet bays to beachside feasts, life with a Tristram is about venturing beyond the ordinary — and discovering what lies beyond the horizon.
Beyond the Horizon Story by Team Tristram
The tanks were full, the gear was checked, and Team Tristram’s 821 Offshore was loaded before sunrise. The plan was set — steam out to our favourite reef for a cray dive. As the sun climbed our divers slipped under, fins cutting through the blue.
Down on the reef, it didn’t take long to find them. Crayfish tucked tight into cracks, antennae twitching in the shadows. With steady hands and careful moves, each one was worked free and stowed in the catch bag. After a solid dive, the crew surfaced with smiles and heavy gear — the mission had been a success.
Back on board, the catch was put straight into an ice slurry in the chilly bin. Humane handling is important, and the cold seawater and ice quickly put the crays into a sleep-like state. By the time the anchor was set in a quiet bay and the dive gear was packed away, they were ready to prepare. A quick, clean split down the centre line with a sharp knife, and the crays were ready for the grill.
The COBB came out, compact and ready, a permanent part of the boat kit. Its stainless-steel build handles the knocks, it’s cool-to-touch base means it can sit right on the baitboard, and its windproof design makes cooking easy no matter what breeze blows across the bay.
The crayfish halves were brushed with butter, garlic, and lemon, then laid straight across the COBB. Within minutes the smell rolled across the cockpit — smoky, salty, rich — and everyone gathered around. Bread rolls warmed on the side, ready to be filled with chunks of tender crayfish.
That’s the strength of the COBB. It’s more than a BBQ — it’s a portable kitchen. With its accessories it can roast, bake, fry, steam, or boil, and it’s built to last season after season. Out here, it turns a successful dive into a meal to remember.
Lunch was rugged and real — crayfish caught by hand just an hour before, treated with care, cooked on the baitboard, and eaten at anchor with the boat rocking gently and the coastline spread out wide. No kitchen. No fuss. Just adventure, reward, and the kind of meal you don’t forget.
The COBB Gas Grill is the perfect companion for creating these moments on your next boating adventure. Compact, reliable, and made for life at sea — it’s one more way Tristram ownership goes beyond the horizon.
