Southern Thames Estuary Chart Folio

All 12 charts from Ramsgate to Canvey Island, including the River Medway, Chatham, the Swale and Southend-on-Sea. 65% discount applied.

All 12 Admiralty Small Craft Charts covering the southern Thames Estuary from Ramsgate to Canvey Island, including the River Medway, Chatham, the Swale, Southend-on-Sea and the approaches from the Dover Strait.

The 65% bulk discount is already applied to this bundle of charts. If you'd like to add extra Small Craft Charts to your order, they'll qualify for the same 65% discount. It's worth knowing that adding 3 more charts takes you to 15, which triggers the 75% tier. That brings the total from £74.76 down to £66.75, so you actually pay less for more charts. The checkout can't combine folios and individual charts automatically, so let us know which ones you need and we'll send you a link with everything correctly priced and ready to buy.

About Admiralty Small Craft Charts

Admiralty Small Craft Charts are produced by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) for recreational sailors and small commercial vessels. They cover popular cruising areas, harbours and coastal waters at scales suited to inshore navigation. Each chart is printed on demand from the UKHO's latest digital files with all corrections applied up to the date of printing.

Each folio has an accompanying PDF supplement containing tidal stream (diamond) tables, secondary port differences, tidal curves, Coastguard contact information and local navigation notes. We'll send you a link when your charts ship.

Good to Know

If you haven't bought Admiralty Small Craft Charts since 2022, a few things have changed. Charts no longer come in plastic wallets and supporting data is now a PDF rather than a printed booklet. The printed chart area is A2 (594 x 420 mm) but the paper is slightly larger (715 x 535 mm), leaving a border of about 12 cm on each side. You may want to trim the sheets depending on how you store your charts.

These charts are printed to order, so they can't be restocked or resold once printed. If you're not sure this is the right folio for your trip, just ask and we'll help you put together the right set.

There are a few price points where it's actually cheaper to buy more charts. We wrote an article explaining how the discount tiers work.

Shipping

Admiralty charts are printed on demand by an official UKHO distributor. Each chart is printed, trimmed, quality checked, stamped and labelled individually. Please check for handling time messages during ordering. If you're in a hurry, get in touch with us and we'll do our best to help.

Charts ship rolled in a cardboard tube (Royal Mail) or a long rectangular box (DPD). The DPD box carries a slightly higher risk of minor creasing, which usually flattens out under some heavy books.
