Cruising Guide to Germany and Denmark

This new Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation title is the successor to Brian Navin’s cruising guide to the area, covering the exposed North Sea coasts and the more protected Baltic Sea coasts of both Germany and Denmark.

Coverage has been updated and expanded from specific routes to a comprehensive sequence of ports and anchorages along each area of coast, with introductory information about places of interest to visit ashore.

Author Nicholas Hill cruised the region extensively for many years and has enriched the text with new photographs throughout. Plans include up to date hydrographic data for both German and Danish waters.

This cruising guide is an ideal companion for those who plan to explore the more challenging, shifting coastline of the North Sea and the comparatively gentle and intricate indentations and archipelagos in the entrance to the Baltic. It is also a useful resource for anyone on a more direct passage through to the Baltic Sea proper.

“Germany and Denmark is one of the best new pilot guides for this area of the Baltic, and should be essential reading for anyone choosing to cruise there. [Nicholas Hill] writes with sensitivity and appreciation skilfully conveying a feeling for the essential characteristics and individualities of this area. The choice of photographs and their captioning is outstandingly good. These are working photos giving clear visitor guidance, just as they should in a pilot book… this admirable volume should facilitate the pleasure and safety of cruising yachtsmen for many years to come.” Yachting Monthly
