The NOAA PocketChart™ is a special-purpose map compiled for beginning recreational boaters. It is an eye-catching, inexpensive, introductory charting product with a miniaturized NOAA nautical chart on one side; and safety, boating, and educational information on the reverse. Beginning boaters can use the PocketChart as a locator, helping them answer their two most frequent questions: “Where am I?” and “How do I get to…?”

PocketCharts are only available from official Publisher/Partners. These partners establish and service their own sales networks. Then they use NOAA’s Print-on-Demand technology and updated digital files from the Coast Survey to print the PocketCharts they have sold.
