Yeah, that feels all wrong. Definitely have to watch so nothing falls into it, like a towel or a tshirt. Close quarters on a boat, and lots of stuff lying around, plus the wave and wake action can be unpredictable. Maybe only safe in a cove. Bring extra extinguishers.
The table top one seems safer, but other boats may call 911 or pull up close thinking your boat is on fire... That table top one can probably be seen from quite a ways.
This gives me the willies, too. Although many of us have propane grills and they are also open flames on a boat. But mine is located on the stern deck, far from the locus of activity on deck.
I love a bonfire and have an awesome backyard setup. It's on the land, though.
