On Deck
"... This convenient guide covers the entire route in charts similar to AAA strip maps. The book is spiral bound so it lies flat while open and can easily be held in one hand or propped in front of the steering station."


Harvard Magazine
"Standout navigational tool for the more than 13,000 cruisers fleeing the northern winter or southern summer."


Practical Sailor
"An outstanding example of economical, complete, no-nonsense chart compilation."

Fourth Edition

"All the charts you need for the 1,000-mile 'Ditch' cruise for a fraction of the price."--Cruising World

The Intracoastal Waterway Chartbook is a complete set of navigation charts for the 1,090-mile Intracoastal Waterway from Norfolk to Miami, as well as charts for all major Atlantic inlets. (You'd spend over $350 to purchase the same coverage in government charts and publications.) The chartbook also includes a complete listing of waterway bridge and lock characteristics, anchorage listings, a waterway facilities listing, mileage charts, and even charts for a picturesque alternate route, all in a compact, easy-to-use format.

Statute miles are noted in five-mile increments in the chart margins, along with bridge, lock, and anchorage locations. A handy place-name index makes it even easier to go right to the chart showing your destination.

An ideal companion to The Intracoastal Waterway Chartbook is The Intracoastal Waterway, Norfolk to Miami: A Cockpit Cruising Handbook, 4th edition, by Jan Moeller and Bill Moeller.
