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.
