Nautical bar server

Abstract

Marine Equipment, more specifically, an apparatus that provides a durable, stable and secure, portable, full service liquor, beverage, and bar accessory storage, display and server box designed for nautical vessels in a marine environment that are subjected to rocking in water. The apparatus can best be described as a box made of plastic composite board with cut-outs on the top of the box. The cut-outs securely accommodate various bar items such as liquor bottles, wine bottles, ice bucket, wine cooler, blender, shaker cup, glasses, a cutting board, and condiment trays. The “fixed top” embodiment of the invention has a wood molding trim top rail for preventing items sitting on the box from sliding off due to the vessel rocking in water. The “storage box with slide-in, interchangeable utility tops” embodiment of the invention provides a storage box plus a full service bar top, a food preparation and service top, and a cutting board top that can be used to filet fish or as a general purpose table top for activities such as rigging bait. A stainless steel bottle opener and bar tool set are bolted to the side of the box. The box may be bolted to a mounting bracket which is designed to slide in and securely lock into a rod holder.

Boats typically do not have a preparation table surface with trim to prevent items from sliding off, a cutting board surface, or a secure bottle storage, display, preparation and serving apparatus. Therefore, I had to get a cup, get ice out of the cooler, get liquor, mixers and condiments from several different and inconvenient storage places on the...
