Cruising Guides - Italy: Navigation and Marinas

Corsica and North Sardinia - Including La Maddalena Archipelago

A well-established guide to Corsica and the northern region of Sardinia, which together constitute several varied cruising grounds - from the sometimes exposed and often dramatic bays of Corsica's west coast to the more protected and gentle cruising on its eastern side, to the rich choice of anchorages in the Bouches de Bonifacio and on Sardinia's island-studded north coast. This whole region is justifiably popular with cruising sailors, particularly in the summer season.

This fourth edition has been thoroughly revised by the authors, who have spent the past two years exploring the Corsican and Sardinian coastlines on their Bowman 40, Easy Rider. Included are a multitude of new photographs as well as thorough updates to the plans and text.
Several marine reserves have been established in the region and the latest restrictions of these are well documented.
"Corsica and North Sardinia" is the ideal guide, either for charter skippers or longer-term cruising sailors who want to make the most of this very special corner of the Mediterranean.

Adriatic Pilot - Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, East Coast of Italy, Albania

In publication for over thirty years, Adriatic Pilot remains the only single volume to cover the whole region, from Albania and the heel of Italy in the south to Venice and Slovenia in the north. The ever-popular cruising ground of Croatia is covered extensively in four separate chapters.

This 8th edition has been fully revised to include new information on marinas, visitor moorings and anchorages, with all the attendant facilities available to cruising sailors. There is also plenty to give historical context and to whet the appetite for visits and exploration ashore.
Plans have been updated throughout. Numerous photographs help to orientate, inform and inspire, including a new set of images for the Italian coast and Venice lagoon.
For occasional charterers or long-term cruisers alike, Trevor and Dinah Thompson's thorough and comprehensive work should be the first choice of any cruising sailor wanting to make the most of this rich and diverse coastline.
