Overview
An up-to-date guide to boating along Florida's western shores, from Flamingo to the Big Bend, offers cruisers information on marinas, restaurants, shoreside attractions, water depths, unsafe areas and shoals, docking fees, and more. Original.
Publishers Description
This guide leaves nothing unexplored in the waters from Flamingo to the Big Bend. Thoroughly researched and updated firsthand by the author, this is the most detailed source available on the facilities and waters of the Sunshine State's western shore. It contains current information on navigation data, anchorage locales along the entire shore, marinas, shoreside dining, and other attractions. As in his previous books, Claiborne Young furnishes dozens of invaluable maps, photographs, and chart references. Also included are specific way points for anchorages and marinas, as well as ratings for transient docking fees. Intriguing historical profiles and coastal folklore give visitors the flavor of the region. Sections on unsafe areas and shoals help cruisers avoid dangerous waters. |

 | Excellent cruising info May 17, 2007 |
| Mr. Young's cruising guides continue to impress us as the most useful and comprehensive available, particularly when linked with his excellent web-site. | | |  | No good maps, too detailed Mar 9, 2007 |
| We picked this up for a week-long sailing charter out of Tampa. There is way too much information in here and no really good maps. (Certainly not any larger maps.) We wanted to locate good anchorages for day-fun and overnights.... This caters mostly to people who are looking to dock at a marina. I found the book confusing and not well indexed.... I was hoping for a bareboat charterer's guide like we have found for the Virgin Islands -- This is not it. | | | | West Florida Cruising Guide Most Helpful Mar 18, 2006 |
| Claiborne Young is his usual, informative self in compiling this excellent guide to cruising the Western Florida Region. He provides ample information including photos, detailed descriptions, waypoints and specifics useful to both sailors and power boaters. I highly recommend this book to anyone planning to cruise the beautiful Western Florida waters. | | | | Great for the novice or expert Feb 9, 2006 |
| CLaiborne, like all his books, does an outstanding job. There is little to guess at, and he takes no chances in describing areas. If he says it is shallow, it is shallow. If he says do not go there without risk taking, then heed his advice. It would be nice if this book covered all of west FLA, but you have to buy another to cover the upper part. | | |  | Cruising Guide to Western Florida Apr 18, 2000 |
| This much-needed guide provide a wealth of useful information for the cruising sailor. Written in an enthusiastic and readable style, the author invites the reader to explore the varied cruising grounds of Western Florida. Of great value in this coastline of difficult channels is the detailed information given for each approach, including low water depths in shoal channels. Another feature is a listing of the charts (by number) to cover each area. Photographs and non-navigational charts are also shown throughout the book. Altogether, an informative and useful guide. | | | Write your own review about Cruising Guide to Western Florida
