The only cruising guide devoted exclusively to North Carolina, this book covers almost every body of water along the coast as far inland as it is safe to navigate.

This state has the largest area of inland waters on the East Coast and more than 3,000 miles of shoreline. Vast stretches of these beautiful but often isolated waters can now be explored using this single source of detailed and up-to-date navigational information.

The guide includes historical summaries, coastal folklore, listings of coastal marinas and their services, and tips on shoreside attractions.

This comprehensive guide includes:

• Current navigational data

• Reliable information on anchorages both on and off the Intracoastal Waterway

• Warnings about specific danger areas to be avoided

• Detailed information on marinas and their facilities

• Colorful historical sketches and coastal legends

• Advice for the boater on charming and unusual restaurants located both on and off the ICW

Reviews

“With his [Claiborne Young’s] five volumes on a shelf . . . you can start at the North Carolina border and cruise all the way down the coast, circumnavigate Florida and follow the Gulf Coast to New Orleans. You’ll probably need a light list and an almanac as well, but you certainly won’t need any other cruising guides. If you are not familiar with Claiborne Young’s books, I recommend them all highly, they are fun and interesting reading.”
