West Country Cruising Companion

The go-to West Country pilot guide since 1988, now updated for its tenth edition. 

Mark Fishwick’s West Country Cruising Companion is the leading pilot guide to this wonderful cruising area of south west England. First published in 1988 as West Country Cruising, it is now in its tenth edition. It remains in hardback (and eBook) and covers the area from Portland Bill to Padstow, as well as the Isles of Scilly, giving passage information into the area from both the east and the north. 

This definitive sailing guide for the ever-attractive coastline of Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly combines a skilful blend of pilotage and cruising information, with historical insight and suggestions of where to eat and what to do ashore.  

For those who plan to head west, this book is more than essential reading – it will enhance your enjoyment and prove to be a worthy and much used addition to the ship's library. Those already in the west will find themselves regularly thumbing its pages. 

Share Mark Fishwick’s passion for this region which combines with his in-depth knowledge from a lifetime cruising these waters to create a text which will inspire and inform you. It is enhanced with colour charts and detailed photography, including spectacular aerial shots of many ports, harbours and anchorages.
