Since 1994 the Doyle/Fisher Cruising Guide to Trinidad and Tobago has set the standard for this area. This edition has been completely updated and includes Barbados. It is the best selling guide to the area for the following reasons: It includes 40 full-color charts. Anchorage charts are based on the authors’ surveys and are very clear and detailed. Aerial photos are included for most anchorages. Like all Doyle’s guides, it is beautifully printed in full color on glossy paper with lots of scenic photography. The navigational information is clear and concise, with GPS waypoints. These waypoints may be directly downloaded onto your GPS through the website, where you can also check on recent updates to the latest edition, and get links to weather and local businesses. The Doyle/Fisher guides are unsurpassed for their onshore information, and this book is no exception, with excellent sections on exploring, carnival, eating out, and, for Trinidad, lots of details about boatyards and contractors. Some local advertising is included and most readers find it useful. Plus, it helps to keep the price of the book reasonable. Chris Doyle and Jeff Fisher have been the leading authors in cruising guides for the Leeward Islands, the Windward Islands, all the way south through Trinidad, Tobago and Barbados to Bonaire and Venezuela for many years. They are by all means the experts for this area.
