NOAA Chart 18448: Puget Sound-Southern Part Booklet – 8.5 x 11 inches by Paradise Cay Publications

Introducing the NOAA Chart 18448, specifically designed for the Puget Sound’s southern part. This unique booklet, produced by Paradise Cay Publications, is an essential tool for recreational boaters seeking reliable navigation. Its compact size of 8.5 x 11 inches makes it easy to handle while on the water, especially in small vessels where traditional large charts can be cumbersome.

This BookletChart serves as an exact replica of the full-scale NOAA Chart 18448, but in a smaller, more manageable format. Each chart is printed on demand, ensuring that you receive the most up-to-date navigational information at the time of your order. The high-quality, durable paper and saddle-stitched binding guarantee longevity and ease of use.

The BookletChart is particularly beneficial for those who may not rely on traditional nautical charts. Many boaters often depend on local knowledge or their memories when navigating. However, this practice can be risky due to changing seafloors, eroding shorelines, and the discovery of new navigation hazards. With the BookletChart, you can stay informed about these developments, ensuring a safer voyage whether you are exploring local waters or venturing down the coast.

It is important to note that this BookletChart does not fulfill chart carriage requirements for regulated commercial vessels as outlined in Titles 33 and 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Nevertheless, it is an invaluable resource for recreational boaters. The NOAA has officially transitioned the BookletCharts from an experimental phase to full production due to their popularity. With nearly 1,000 updated BookletCharts available, covering 95,000 miles of U.S. coastline and the Great Lakes, there is a suitable chart available for every boating enthusiast.

In conclusion, the NOAA Chart 18448 for Puget Sound’s southern part is an essential tool for all recreational boaters. It combines convenience, accuracy, and reliability in one compact booklet, making it a must-have for those who navigate these waters. Don’t compromise on safety; trust in NOAA’s nautical charts for your boating adventures.
