We do not stock charts for
areas that we do not sell regularly so that we can
supply the most current editions for each order. However,
whether you are making a purchase from our regular
stock, or making a special order, please make your
request at leaving enough time
prior to your departure to avoid extra delivery charges
or out-of-stock situations.
Average time we require to receive in chart orders
without paying extra delivery fees varies from publisher
to publisher:
Canadian Hydrographic charts: 2-3
days
NOAA & NIMA charts: 10-14 days
IMRAY charts: 28-35 days
Waterproof charts: 10-14 days
NDI charts: 7 days
Maptech charts: 7 days
Atlantic & Gulf Coasts
Most of our customers who plan a trip along the
ICW use chart books (where available) instead of
the government-published flat charts. The chart
books have the advantage of being more economical
and of a size more suitable to crusing boats. The
disadvantage is that they are not updated between
editions, where the goverment charts are updated
to the date they are sent to the chart agent. We
stock all chartbooks that cover the route from Great
Lakes to Florida, plus the Bahamas. We also stock
a variety of large-scale flat charts and those required
to fill in between chartbook coverage.
Small-scale charts for the Canadian east coast
or NOAA charts for the eastern seaboard of the US
are ordered to order. See above
for order times.
Inland Waters of North America
We stock all chartbooks and all government charts
(both US and Canadian) for Great Lakes and associated
waters including the St. Lawrence to Montreal.
We also stock the electronic charts for the Great
Lakes area. You can buy CDs that cover only Canadian waters
or more expensive product that covers both US and Canadian territory
for the region you select.
We do not stock charts for the Mississippi/Tenn-Tom
system which are produced by the US Corps of Engineers.
The Caribbean
We stock a full selection of paper charts for the
Eastern Caribbeanboth chartbooks and flat
chartsincluding IMRAY, Caribbean Yachting
Chart packages, Maptech, GeoCuba and a selection
of NIMA charts.
NIMA charts for the Western Caribbean and e-charts
are ordered to order. See above
for order times.
Europe & the Mediterranean
We regularly supply charts for customers crossing
"the pond" and planning cruises in European
waters. IMRAY provides good coverage for most of
the popular cruising areas. We stock charts that
we sell frequently (like those for Greece) but order
others on request. Please check with us for a more
detailed list. See above
for order times.
Although we are not a British Admiralty chart agents,
we can make special orders. We also have access
to sources for Norwegian and Danish charts as well
and Dutch and German. We also bring in charts for
the canal areas to order.
The Pacific & Indian Oceans
We stock very few charts for the West Coast of
North America or further into the Pacific as there
are so many charts available and each customer requires
specific routing. We are happy to create customized
chart lists on request. Please leave two weeks to
refine the lists in addition to order
lead time.
