Published by Members of
The Cruising Club of America
These guides are published by Pilot Press as aids for those who seek the challengers, adventures and rewards of sailing in one of the most beautiful and unspoiled cruising grounds of North America, and who appreciate a few tips from those who have been there before. The guides are contributor driven, thus the information has been collected by the yachtsmen who have been there. It's what they found.
The early explorers relied on each other. Today we rely on each other's contributions to explore and enjoy this phenomenal country. Hopefully those who use these guides receive as much assistance from them as others before you, and that you, like them, will contribute meaningful information for future users. Without your continued updating of information, these publications - the longest continuously published cruising guide for Nova Scotia and the only sailing guides to Newfoundland or Labrador - would become useless. New editions of these guides are published every 4-5 years.

As of September 2009 the Canadian Government requires ALL Canadian residents who operates a pleasure craft fitted with a motor to have proof of competency and proof of age on board at all times. These rules apply to non-Canadian residents as well IF they operate their pleasure craft in Canadian waters for more than 45 consecutive days. For non-residents, proof of competency can be in the form of a “Canadian-issued pleasure craft operator card” or “an operator card or equivalent that meets the requirements of their state or country.” The effect of all this is unclear for US residents for all or most American States do not have operator card/license requirements.
