Cruising Guide to the Virgin Islands
The need for cruising guides to the Caribbean IslandsCruising Guide Publications was created by Simon and Nancy Scott while living aboard their sailboat in the British Virgin Islands, and later, working in the bareboat charter industry for twenty years. There was a need for comprehensive guides to aid cruisers and charterers exploring the Caribbean island chain. These guides include not only navigational information, but also the rich history of the Caribbean islands, folklore, the flora and fauna, as well as where to go for diving, snorkeling and shore side entertainment and of course, what to do in an emergency. We have made it our mission to answer all the questions we had from charterers and cruisers and to add details and background about the islands to enhance the cruising experience.Collaborating with the cruising experts of the CaribbeanTwenty years ago, we teamed up with Chris Doyle, the popular cruising author of theSailors Guide to the Windward Islands,Cruising Guide to the Leeward Islands,Cruising Guide to Trinidad,Tobago and Barbados,and theCruising Guide to Venezuela and Bonaire.Since then we allied ourselves with other cruising guide authors. Our rigorous guidelines require the authors to spend a considerable amount of time on location checking and rechecking details so that our readers have a safe, informed and therefore enjoyable cruise. Our authors have a dedication to details, and a love of sailing the islands they research.Current cruising information for the CaribbeanOur guides are updated approximately every other year to make sure cruisers are armed with up-to-date information for their journey. This team of writers has contributed to our outstanding reputation as publishers of cruising guides. They have inspired many a cruiser to venture to new horizons with a greater sense of security and knowledge.
