Make cruising the Florida Gulf Coast easy -- know exactly where to find everything you need.

A traditional cruising guide isn't designed for quick answers!

  • Is the nearest anchorage with N (E, S, or W) protection

  • To get fuel, water, or a haul out

  • There's a grocery store . . . propane . . . an ATM

  • And more!

Separate area-by-area tables for the Florida Gulf Coast let you quickly find just what you need:

  • anchorages including wind/wave protection directions, depth, current, swell, and availability of places to walk dogs

  • marinas, with phone numbers and available services

  • fuel, propane, water, grocery stores, laundry, showers, and pump outs

  • cuts and navigation alerts

  • haulout facilities including maximum beam

What's Inside

An invaluable supplement to traditional cruising guides

ANCHORAGES -- Easily locate a suitable anchorage by scanning down the column for the forecast wind direction. You can also check the depth, holding, current, swell, and access for dog walking. Anchorage names are those used by Active Captain and thus can be easily found with the AC overlays on Garmin, Navionics, and Aqua Map.

SERVICES -- Quickly find the closest location for the types of stores and services you need.

BRIDGES -- Easily find the height, opening schedule, how to contact, and any special notes with similar tables, all arranged in order.

OTHER SECTIONS — Our Cockpit Quick Reference Guide also contains similar detailed, easy-to-use pages on INLETS, FREE DOCKS, NAV ALERTS,  and HAULOUT FACILITIES.

BONUS REFRESHERS on dredging and horn signals.

Bright, easy-to-read subject tabs, organized first by topic and then by island group, island, town, or anchorage so you can quickly find the information you need.

Keeps the information easily accessable

The book makes it very easy to find the information you want and to compare different options. Aside: There is a mistake on the anchorage page for Cottrell Key for current. You are missing an "o".

AMAZING!

These guides are amazing. It is everything I had been wanting for our cruising. When returning from the Bahamas I was looking at Navionics to try to find plan B, C and D options for destinations just in case. The ICW looks very complicated on Navionics but these guides take care of that.
