 Enthusiastically recommended for area boaters, whether residents or vacationers. November 3, 2007
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Now in a revised sixth edition, Cruising Guide to Costal South Carolina and Georgia is an in-depth guide to every last marina, anchorage, creek, nook, and cranny along the South Carolina and Georgia coastline. Author Clairborne Young has applied his years of experience boating in sailcraft and powerboats and personally visited every body of water referenced in this local's-eye-view guide. Maps and black-and-white photographs add a visual touch to the richly detailed descriptions sure to appeal to armchair travelers as well as boat travelers. Cruising Guide to Coastal South Carolina and Georgia is a travel guide, not a how-to guide; the reader's familiarity with principles of nautical operation and safety is presumed, and the main focus is upon the marvelous sights, sounds, and history of the South Carolina and Georgia coast. Enthusiastically recommended for area boaters, whether residents or vacationers.
Cruiser's MUST HAVE January 9, 2007
C. Fowler (Paradise)
Claiborne Young's cruising guides are based on FACTS and personal knowlege of the author. He provides what every cruiser should know before visiting a port or marina. Use all his guides in conjunction with other navigational aides and publications.
New SC & GA guide due out May 2007 !!
Best Guide book for the Area February 20, 2010
Hazelwood (Lake Norman, NC)
Coupled with his web site, I love his descriptions and reading about history and other sight seeing things along with in depth info on marinas, anchors and services. Most of us boaters prefer tabular-type info as we travel (such as Waterway Guides, Skipper Bob) which I also carry and would not be without), but if you want more detail, this is the book. His web site couples well with Skipper Bob on costs, but I wish all guides would improve on marian hidden costs such as charging for overall length versus waterline length, or charging by the slip size versus boat size. Also, sales taxes/add on fees that some do. But these aer rare and I digress.

Ahoy, I'm sure some of you are future Cruisers or just looking for sources of new or additional information. This is a Good book just take Claiborne with a Grain of Salt. I've met Claiborne a couple of times over the years (and spoke with him), he's a good writer but... His glasses are considerable thicker than mine as we don't see places the same. His definition of "Rustic" and mine of "DUMP" are the same. Some usable information, worth Amazons price.
 Not a Cruising Guide June 2, 2007

This book has so little information on cruising and so much on restaurants and B&B's I cannot fathom the title. It is more of a travel guide like a Fodor's than anything that will assist you to cruise this coast in a boat. Depth information, chartlets, anchorages etc etc receive little or no mention. Who needs a B&B when cruising?
