Finding Charts Online

Please note that this is only a representation of what you will actually see. You will have choices of charts other than nautical charts, you can search on charts by years, you can search on specific chart scales, and you can find charts within a range of nautical miles from the area selected. Check the box next to Nautical Charts, click the map, and each of the red squares on the map will represent an available NOAA chart. All you have to do is click on the chart area you want and you will get a list of charts within the Radius you selected. Note the different sizes of the squares, this is because some charts are large scale and some are small scale.

Let's assume that you already have charts to make your way up the Coast, however, you are going to need a chart of the St. Lucie Inlet and Manatee Pocket where you will be keeping your new boat. You could zoom in, but since I know where it is, I'll assist you by clicking on the appropriate place. Once you have clicked the map finder, you get a page similar to the one below.
