Sailors Guide to the Windward Islands

Chris Doyle published the first Cruising Guide to the Windward Islands in 1980. Over its 16 plus editions, this book has gone from strength to strength, staying on the cutting edge of cruising guide technology with each new edition.

It was the first in the area to come out with GPS waypoints, color photography, computerized color sketch charts, and web support. It has, for many years, been the bestselling guide to his area for the following reasons: Excellent anchorage charts that are based on the author’s surveys and are very clear and detailed. Aerial photos are included for most anchorages.

This guide picks up where The Cruising Guide to the Southern Leeward Islands ends and is revised and updated for 2023-2024. After 40 years in print, this book continues to be the best-selling cruising guide to the Windward Islands.

A wide range of topics are covered in this 2023-2024 edition including the latest information on marinas, marine services, water sports, resorts and shore-side shopping, restaurants, area sights, regulations affecting the yachtsman and helpful navigational directions. Most importantly, color aerial photography is included to further assist in navigation and provide invaluable information on anchorages.

A popular feature is the directory, which gives the names, phone numbers, email and website addresses of most yacht related businesses. It is organized island by island to make finding the services effortless. The guide covers the four main Windward Islands including Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada, as well as exploring many of the smaller sister islands. Additionally, the guide includes a free, color, 27” x 17” planning chart covering the Windward Islands.
