Nautical Almanacs

A good sailor never leaves port without the right almanac. The Reeds Nautical Almanac – the yachtsman’s bible – delivers up-to-date tide tables, passage notes and harbour details for the UK, Ireland and European coasts, with tailored editions for the Channel, Eastern and Western regions. For those who like things lean, the Reeds PBO Small Craft Almanac keeps the essentials at your fingertips. The Cruising Association Almanac – updated biennially – blends official hydrographic data with real-world insights from sailors who’ve been there, done that and left a waypoint.

For celestial navigators, the Admiralty Nautical Almanac (NP314) is the gold standard, carried aboard Royal Navy ships and required under SOLAS. Packed with astronomical tables, sight reduction data and everything you need to fix your position with a sextant or determine your compass error, it’s a must-have for serious offshore sailors.
