The go-to guide for Italy, Sardinia, Sicily and Malta

Updated 11th edition with marina changes, marine reserves and sailing tips – essential for cruising Italy’s western and southern coasts.

Italian Waters Pilot is the only guide for yachtsmen in English that covers the coasts of the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Seas, Sardinia, Sicily, the Ionian 'heel' and Malta in one volume.

This new eleventh edition has numerous updates throughout, with contact details, plans and text undergoing a thorough revision. Care has been taken to research the details of marina developments. Where available, information is given on proposed changes and extensions to yacht harbours. Marine reserves are an important feature of the coasts and off-lying islands, particularly in Sardinia and Sicily, and this edition provides updated details of the latest regulations. Climate change and extreme weather events are becoming a major issue, and this edition includes a section on how climate change might affect sailing in the Mediterranean.

Italian Waters Pilot is the last word on the area for yachts cruising there and on their way between the eastern and western Mediterranean.

Rod and Lucinda Heikell have also authored companion guides on France, Greece and Turkey, acclaimed as the best pilot books available.

Recommended by the Royal Cruising Club and The Cruising Association.
