About Admiralty Small Craft Charts

Admiralty Small Craft Charts are specialist charts produced by the UKHO specifically designed for recreational sailors and small commercial vessels. These charts provide detailed coverage of popular cruising areas, harbours, and coastal waters at scales ideal for inshore navigation. Each chart combines the accuracy and reliability of official UKHO data with additional information essential for small craft navigation, including tidal stream data, port facilities, and local navigation notes. MCA approved and fully compliant with Maritime and Coastguard Agency requirements for coded vessels and fishing vessels under 24m LOA.

Key Features of Small Craft Charts

• Convenient A2 Format: Easy to handle, store, and use on board smaller vessels - printed on demand with all corrections applied.
• Comprehensive Supporting Data: Essential details including chart notes, Coastguard services, distress and safety communication info, tidal stream (diamond) tables, secondary port differences, and tidal curves.
• Enhanced Detail for Confident Navigation: Larger scale coverage of popular cruising areas with crisp, detailed cartography for spotting hazards, charting courses, and making better decisions at sea.
• Multiple Scales Included: This folio provides a range of scales from passage planning charts to detailed harbour plans for comprehensive area coverage.

Important Notes

If you haven't used Admiralty Small Craft or Leisure charts since 2022, here's what's changed:

• Paper Size: The printed area is A2 (594 x 420 mm), but the actual sheet is slightly larger (715 x 535 mm), leaving you a 12.1 cm border on the long edge and an 11.5 cm border on the short edge. This is the current UKHO standard - the chart may require trimming based on how you expect to store it.
• No More Folio Covers: These charts are no longer supplied with plastic wallets.
• Supporting Data: Now in PDF format. Once your order ships we'll show you where to find the latest version.
• Returns: These charts are printed to order and correct at the time of printing, so we can't accept returns except where required by law. If you're unsure which charts you need, get in touch — we're happy to advise.

Shipping and Handling

• Printed to Order: Please note that Admiralty charts are not off-the-shelf items. Each one is printed on demand by an official UKHO Print-on-Demand distributor and prepared individually, a process that involves printing, trimming, quality checking, official stamping, and applying a chart number label to the back of the chart. Please check for messages regarding current handling times during the ordering process.
• Urgent Orders: If you are in a hurry, please get in touch with us directly and we will do our very best to accommodate your needs.
• Packaging: Your charts will be shipped rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube. Charts are produced to professional navigation standards where minor creasing, if it occurs, does not affect navigational use. If shipped with Royal Mail we use a standard round tube. If shipped with DPD we use a long rectangular box which carries a slightly higher risk of creasing. Minor creasing can usually be flattened easily with a few hours under some heavy books.
• Why SailorShop: Real expertise with hassle-free ordering. We know our charts, we know sailing, and we're here to help. Just get in touch.
