Review:
Our 2012-2013 Maryland Cruising Guide covers the Maryland area of the Chesapeake Bay, the Potomac River as far north as Washington, D.C., the Chincoteague Bay area and includes a large scale inset of Ocean City.
Our 2012-2013 Virginia Cruising Guide covers the entire Virginia Tidewater area, including the Potomac River and ocean shores and bays. In addition, there are full page enlargements of Ocean City and Chincoteague Island.
We take pride in providing the finest nautical charts of the Chesapeake Bay tidal waters.
The Maryland Cruising Guide was first designed in 1961 and has been regularly updated every 2 years. The Virginia Cruising Guide was first designed in 1968, and is on it's 10th edition.
A detailed nautical atlas for navigable waters of the Chesapeake, these are the most up-to-date chartbooks on the bay
Voyaging on the Chesapeake
'At the end of the last Ice Age 11,000 years ago, glaciers melted, ocean levels rose, and waters filled the canyon carved by the Susquehanna River, forming the Chesapeake Bay. This grand redesign of geography had wonderful consequences for those who are sailors at heart.
The Chesapeake Bay is 195 miles long and 30 miles across at its widest point. Its main basin covers 3,200 square miles and laps 8,000 miles of shoreline. Given its size and many rivers, creeks, coves, islands and peninsulas, the Chesapeake is a boating paradise begging to be explored.
If part-time mariners had up to a week to spend voyaging on the Chesapeake this summer, where might they decide to go? Which destinations should be considered when planning a cruise on the largest estuary in North America?
What follows is a brief log of possibilities for the northern, central and southern regions of Maryland.
For navigation, recreational boaters should find the Maryland Cruising Guide sufficient.'
--DNR (Department of Natural Resources) Voyaging on the Chesapeake
Don't Get Lost on the Chesapeake- Find Your Way with Maryland Cruising Guide For nearly 40 years, this boaters must-have has helped make life on the water safe and sound.
As the local favorite, Maryland Cruising Guide bobs and weaves through the worlds mightiest estuary at a scale of 1:80,000, providing fists full of essential nautical info.
But if Maryland Cruising Guide has historically delivered knockout editions, why do you need a new one?
Because the Bay, formidable force that it is, is forever changing.
Channel markers, buoys, depths and landmarks, colors, numbers, ports and shorelines are all susceptible to the changing powers of both man and nature.
Not knowing what awaits you on the Bay could cost you your vessel, or worse, your life.
The last place you want to be surprised by navigational changes is on the water.
Maryland Cruising Guide keeps you up with both types of changes.
