As far as I know the airline adapter is specified for use in aircrafts only because the Planes have a relative stable 12V Supply while in Cars there can be Peaks up to 16V or more and the Airline Adapter has no protection against this.
So on the boat it should be safe to use it while running on Batteries but you should be careful when the engine is running.
The alternative mostly recomended in other forums ist to buy a power changer thats turns the 12V DC into 230V AC (or 110V for Americans). There you can plug in your normal power Cable. But of course ist very inefficient and uses far more current than necessary.
