Imray Chart C3: Isle of Wight

A passage planning chart ideal for sailing near or around the Isle of Wight. This chart has been reschemed to better complement the other folded charts in the Solent chart range (C15, Y33). Coverage has been adjusted to show the full circumnavigation of the Isle of Wight including the south coast passage. Inset plans of the Needles Channel and Bembridge Harbour and approaches are included.

The latest official UKHO data is combined with additional information sourced from Imray's network to make it ideal for small craft.

New: Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) reporting points
Imray charts for the Solent and approaches now include all VTS reporting points found in these waters. VTS reporting is mandatory for vessels of more than 20 m in length that are bound to and from the Solent.

Plans included

• Needles Channel (1 : 35,000)
• Bembridge Harbour & Approaches (1 : 10,000)

The chart is designed to be used alongside C15 The Solent for combined coastal navigation, approach, and harbour detail in and around the Solent and Isle of Wight.

About Imray C Series Charts

Imray C Series charts cover cruising grounds around Britain, Ireland, and Northwest Europe. They're scaled for planning and passage-making: larger than harbour charts, but detailed enough for inshore work. Each chart unfolds to 787 × 1,118 mm, giving you room to see the bigger picture without carrying dozens of sheets. They're printed digitally on Pretex, a synthetic paper that tolerates salt spray and damp conditions. Charts are supplied folded to A4 and packed in a durable plastic wallet. If you need unfolded charts, just get in touch. We can arrange that with a 7-10 day lead time.

These are working charts for anyone who navigates seriously: cruising crews, motor boaters, fishing vessels, and commercial operators alike. Imray C Series charts are recognised by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency for use on coded and fishing vessels up to 24 metres. Whether you're plotting a coastal passage, planning next season's cruise, or keeping current charts to hand, C charts give you what you need at a practical scale. Imray publishes other chart ranges for different waters: M Series for the Mediterranean, G for Greek waters, Y for UK harbours and estuaries, A, B, D and E (Imray-Iolaire) for the Atlantic and Caribbean, plus chart packs covering key cruising areas.
