RRP: £52.50

The 5th edition of this comprehensive volume provides an overview of the Baltic Sea and its approaches from the west for cruising sailors. Thoroughly overhauled by editor Andy Beharrell, much of the text has been rewritten since the last edition, with useful photos and detailed plans updated throughout.

The nine countries bordering the Baltic Sea ( Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Kaliningrad, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Russia) offer an immense variety of cruising grounds, people and cultures. There are thousands of harbours and innumerable anchorages. The information contained in this book provides edited highlights chosen for their value both at the planning stages and again on arrival, when a general overview of each individual country is followed by specific harbour information.

Where detailed cruising information is readily available – effectively Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Finland – only selected harbours are covered, chosen, with a few exceptions, as fulfilling certain key needs. Where cruising information is more limited – Poland, Kaliningrad, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Russia – many smaller harbours are also featured in detail.
Beautiful, secluded anchorages, picturesque canals, bustling marinas, dramatic cities – all await those considering a Baltic cruise.
