This 17th edition (2025-2026) is split into two guides, The Cruising Guide to the Northern Leeward Islands and The Cruising Guide to the Southern Leeward Islands. The Cruising Guide to the Northern Leeward Islands picks up where The Cruising Guide to the Virgin Islands ends, covering the islands of Anguilla, St. Martin & Sint Maarten, St. Barts, Saba, Statia, St. Kitts, Nevis, Redonda, and Montserrat. If you are sailing south, there is a section that covers passages to the islands covered in The Cruising Guide to the Southern Leeward Islands.

These guides are an essential tool for all cruisers sailing this region. The authors spend months sailing these islands to update each edition. Included are over one hundred up-to-date color sketch charts, full color aerial photos of most anchorages, island pictures, and detailed shoreside information covering services, restaurants, provisioning, travel basics and island history. Information is linked to the authors’ website where you can download the GPS waypoints given in the sketch charts, learn of essential updates, print town maps, and obtain links to local weather, news, and businesses.

A free 17 x 27 inch waterproof planning chart of the northern and southern Leeward Islands is now included in each edition!
