Update - Update

The official Swedish recreational boat charts are reissued at irregular intervals. Mostly the intervals are between 2 and 4 years. It is possible to update the charts via the website of the Swedish Maritime Administration using NFS.

Our recommendation

The Swedish recreational boat charts are definitely the best products for this region. However we would still recommend that you carry a harbour handbook for the region as this will make it easier to find harbours and anchorages. We would recommend the book Hamnguiden 7 which is only in Swedish but has very nice plans and aerial photographs. If you prefer a book in German we would recommend the book Schweden 2 by Delius Klasing.

Official Swedish recreational boat charts

The Swedish recreational boat chart series consists of 17 sets each of which covers a coastal or inland section. These chart sets have a plastic spiral binding. The archipelago fairways are shown in detail and the beacon sectors are colour-coded. Each map sheet has clear references to the connecting maps within the map set. A clear pocket is included in the delivery. This product does not contain digital portions.

Handling and appearance

The map sheets are 30 x 42 cm spiral bound in a clear pocket printed on both sides. The spiral binding makes it possible to "turn" the pages. Furthermore the official Swedish recreational craft charts are printed on extremely durable paper. In addition there is also an excerpt from chart 1 describing the most important symbols of the chart series.
