Publisher's Review:

Cruising Guide to the leeward Islands has, for many years, been the best selling guide to this magnificent and very varied area for the following reasons:

Excellent anchorage charts that are based on the author's surveys and are very clear and detailed. Aerial photos are included for most anchorages.  Like all Doyle’s guides, it is beautifully printed in full color on glossy paper with lots of scenic photography.

The navigational information is clear and concise, with GPS waypoints. The Doyle guides are unsurpassed for their onshore information, and this book is no exception, with excellent sections on exploring, provisioning, eating out, as well as services, and water sports for each anchorage.

This guide is is backed by this website that offers downloadable GPS waypoints and Updates as well as general information and links to local businesses for all the islands covered in this guide

There is plenty of  local advertising is included, which most readers it find really useful. This advertising also helps to keep the price of this high quality book really reasonable.

Chris Doyle's other guides are published by Chris Doyle Publishing in association with Cruising Guide Publications. This guide is published by Cruising Guide Publications
