BookletChart™
BookletChart(r) The NOAA BookletChart™ is a product that you can print at home for free. BookletCharts are made to help recreational boaters locate themselves on the water.

The BookletChart is reduced in scale and divided into pages for convenience, but otherwise contains all the information of the full-scale nautical chart. Bar scales are also reduced in scale, but are accurate when used to measure distances in a BookletChart. Excerpts from the United States Coast Pilot are included. Most chart notes are consolidated on a single page for easy reference. Emergency information for the charted area is printed on the back cover.

Special commemorative BookletCharts are available for the War of 1812 events!

NOTE: BookletCharts are being updated every week with Notices to Mariners. Some errors are known to exist, e.g. the "Approximate Page Index" might not match the chart inside.

Please tell us what you think about this service using the Coast Survey's Inquiry Page.

Resources
BookletCharts for most areas are available now. Download them as Adobe Acrobat files and print them on any ordinary printer. Two-sided printing gives the best results. Staple the pages along the edge to make a booklet. Print the entire chart, or only those pages you need. A broadband Internet connection is advised.


NOTE: Use one of NOAA's official printed or digital charts for navigation. BookletCharts DO NOT fulfill chart carriage requirements for regulated commercial vessels under Titles 33 and 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
