A true marine charger is the way to go.  All modern marine chargers have
AC isolation transformers and most have a float stage mode allowing the
charger to be left "on" all the time.  Size the charger to have a charge
current of 1/10 of your battery capacity in AmpHrs e.g 200Ahrs capacity
get a  charger with a maximum 20amp capacity.
