NV Charts England UK3 - The Solent

The NV Charts England UK3 Atlas takes you to the strait between Southampton and the Isle of Wight. Our charts are based on official data from the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) and include additional harbour plans and details for approaches and passages in the waters. The clear layout means that approaches, harbours and anchorages can be found quickly, and important navigational details, which also appear in the NV Charts app, are pointed out. Tidal data is available in tables and also as a chart on paper. The chart series impresses with its optimal dimensions and balanced sheet sections.

Overview of regions

The Solent is known as one of the best sailing areas in England, despite extreme current conditions due to tidal waters. It is relatively lively there in summer, especially as Southampton has a large harbour and various cruise ships also sail there. The important "Fastnet Race" regatta starts every two years from Cowes on the Isle of Wight and is becoming increasingly popular. The Isle of Wight is characterised by its chalk hills, which stretch across the entire island. Especially "The Needles", three chalk rock islands on the western tip of the island, are worth a detour.

As a supplement to this map set, we recommend the NV Charts England  UK2 towards the west or the NV Charts England  UK4 eastwards to explore the Channel coast further. But travelling on to France is also possible with the NV Charts France  FR2 (via the charming Channel Islands) or with the NV Charts France FR1 (along the north coast of France) is an exciting option.
