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. Please see the important note about paper size below.
• 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.

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 (420 x 594 mm), but the actual sheet is slightly larger (535 x 715 mm), leaving you an 11.5 cm border on the short edge and a 12.1 cm border on the long 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 email you the latest version and show you where to find updates.
• Smarter Discounts: There are a few points where it's actually cheaper to buy more charts. We wrote an article to help you get the best value.
• 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.

Nautical Charts for Framing & Decorative Wall Art

An authentic Admiralty chart makes for a stunning piece of nautical wall art for a home or office. However, as these are functional navigation items, there are a few important considerations for those wishing to frame them. Please review the key points below before ordering.

• Measure First: Chart dimensions vary considerably based on geographical coverage and the stated size is an approximation. To ensure a perfect fit, we strongly recommend waiting to receive your chart before buying a frame.
• Official Markings: Charts will include an official agent's stamp and a line of authentication data in the margin.
• Folded or Unfolded: Small Craft Charts are always delivered without folds, unlike their larger commercial chart cousins which are folded by default to fit a ship's chart drawer.

Shipping and Handling

• Printed to Order: Please note that Admiralty charts are not off-the-shelf items. Each one is printed on demand and prepared individually, a process that involves printing, trimming, quality checking, folding, 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 chart will be shipped rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube. Despite this, it is sometimes difficult to avoid minor creasing while handling and shipping. 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.
