This comprehensive guide to the world of chartering, compiled
by Rod Heikell, shares the
breadth of his knowledge and experience, recommending types of charter,
best types of boat, as well as essential information about the world's
cruising areas.
Taking a practical approach, he explains everything prospective
charterers need to know before setting sail: visas required,
healthcare, money, and what to expect from foreign harbours and
anchorages. At the heart of the book is a country by country round-up
of charter areas around the world with pros and cons, best times to go,
wind and sea conditions, harbours and anchorages, eating out, safety,
documentation requirements and getting there. Each area is illustrated with a map and
colour photos.
This unique guide is a must-have reference for charterers the world
over, and a mouth-watering appetiser for those dreaming about where
they would like to sail in the future.
