Product Description
Contains firsthand, up-to-date information about marinas, restaurants, shoreside attractions, and water depths. Western Florida offers a tranquil alternative to the fast-paced lifestyle of the eastern coast, and Young leaves nothing unexplored in the waters from Flamingo to the Big Bend. This edition includes specific way points for anchorages and marinas as well as ratings for transient docking fees. Intriguing historical profiles and coastal folklore give visitors the flavor of the region, while sections on unsafe areas and shoals help cruisers avoid dangerous waters.

 Great for the novice or expert February 9, 2006

CLaiborne, like all his books, does an outstanding job. There is little to guess at, and he takes no chances in describing areas. If he says it is shallow, it is shallow. If he says do not go there without risk taking, then heed his advice. It would be nice if this book covered all of west FLA, but you have to buy another to cover the upper part.

He provides ample information including photos, detailed descriptions, waypoints and specifics useful to both sailors and power boaters.

This much-needed guide provide a wealth of useful information for the cruising sailor. Written in an enthusiastic and readable style, the author invites the reader to explore the varied cruising grounds of Western Florida. Of great value in this coastline of difficult channels is the detailed information given for each approach, including low water depths in shoal channels. Another feature is a listing of the charts (by number) to cover each area. Photographs and non-navigational charts are also shown throughout the book. Altogether, an informative and useful guide.
