Salish Sea Pilot Guides: Thorough, up-to-date piloting notes, marina maps, route diagrams & details for harbours & anchorages throughout the region. Pro Tip: Print pages & add your own notes about currents, tidal ranges & hazards.
Waggoners Guides: Find cruising insights & contact info for marinas, fuel docks, pump-outs, showers, ice-cream & provisions from Washington to S.E. Alaska.. Pro Tip: Buy this popular resource early in the season.
Navionics & Other Chat Apps: Spend the time in advance to understand the app and plan your route so that you aren't learning as you go. And be sure you understand how updates, offline use and any crowd-sourced user input is being represented. Pro Tip: Don't forget to ZOOM in to find hazards not visible in large scale views.
Current & Tide Tables: We recommend comparing official against other available sources when transiting dangerous currents & large tidal ranges. Pro Tip: Many locals use Ports & Passes, Navionics, or AyeTides. & confirm against official sources.
