Atlantic Islands is a long-established cruising guide to the five island groups of the North Atlantic, commonly visited by those sailing the popular Atlantic crossing routes but increasingly enjoyed as cruising destinations in their own right. From the sun-baked lagoons of Bemuda to the verdant slopes of the Azores and Madeira, from the fiery landscapes of the Canaries to the less visited coastlines of the Cape Verdes, this seventh edition has thoroughly updated text and plans and is illustrated with numerous new photographs.
An essential companion for those planning a cruise any of the North Atlantic island groups, even more so for anyone planning an Atlantic crossing or circuit.

“It is difficult to fault this pilot. Clearly and consistently laid out; navigational directions are concise and accurate… an excellent, informative and enjoyable companion for any Atlantic cruising sailor.” — Flying Fish Magazine (Ocean Cruising Club)
Rudolf Waldner (Goodreads): “Was a great guide to the islands we visited. Had I captained a yacht, it would have been even more relevant. The maps served us well.”
