• Dimensions: Most 24" boats have a width of approximately 8" to 9" and a height (including the mast) of 4" to 6".

• Maintenance:

  • Hand Wash Only: Never put wooden sushi boats in a commercial dishwasher, as the heat and chemicals will warp and crack the wood.

  • Sanitization: Use warm soapy water and dry immediately. For persistent odors, a rub with lemon and coarse salt is effective.

  • Conditioning: Apply food-grade mineral oil once a month to prevent the wood from drying out and cracking under the pressure of temperature changes.

Functional Details for Commercial Use

• Removable Components: Many professional models feature a removable center "deck." This is crucial for deep cleaning fish oils out of the crevices.

• Collapsible Masts: Some models allow the mast and "sails" to be removed for easier storage in crowded commercial kitchens.

• Stability: Ensure the boat has a weighted or wide base to prevent tipping when loaded with heavy ceramics or ice.
