Introduction
The aim of this website is to be "Information Central" for essential, up-to-date information for cruisers venturing to our island—and also for new or experienced Cape Breton cruisers seeking new horizons. Much of this information was published in the book CRUISE CAPE BRETON — The Yachters' Guide to the Bras d'Or Lakes, which unfortunately is no longer in print. Older editions contain outdated information, and in later editions the reproduction of charts and illustrations was of very poor quality.

Since few of us have the luxury of Internet access while under way—and reception of Cellular-phone signals is often poor or non-existent, much of the useful reference material linked to—or contained within this website—may be downloaded in PDF-format for printing or storing on a laptop or tablet computer for use aboard ones vessel. Just look for this symbol.
