I have been using the Rocket nautical guides for New Caledonia and Vanuatu for several years and they are the most complete, user friendly cruising guides I have ever seen. I have found them to be very accurate and there is more good information than I have found in any other cruising guides.

The Rocket cruising guides for New Caledonia and Vanuatu are unlike any other guides I have used. They are very quick & easy to navigate around. They are full of all the usual information that a guide has but with added bonuses of Aerial pictures of the anchorages, Underwater shots of the marine life at that location, 360 degree images of the area that you are visiting and lists of "things to do" when you get there- you know exactly what to expect when you arrive safely at your destination. I highly recommend these guides.

"The whole trip was tremendous - New Caledonia, Vanuatu and the sailing exceeded expectations. We will be back. Both the Vanuatu and New Caledonia guides were fantastic and we could not imagine cruising these areas without them.
Before we go again I will be in touch to see about updates to the guides. Thanks for the enormous effort you have put into these guides - it shows."

Cruising guide to vanuatu - what's on the nautical guide to Vanuatu - Vanuatu charts, Sailing Directions, Vanuatu anchorages the new, totally revised Tusker guide to Vanuatu.
The Nautical Rocket Guide to Vanuatu is the most comprehensive cruising guide to Vanuatu ever produced and, along with the Nautical Rocket Guide to New Caledonia, the finest cruising guide for any island group in the South Pacific. We recently completed a total upgrade of the cruising guide to Vanuatu with a new menu interface, new anchorage images, a much better GPS uploading system from the program to the GPS, plus lots of additional information and images. The electronic cruising guide operates on any Windows system starting with Windows 98 right through to Windows 7. Macintosh computers need to have Virtual Windows.. The cruising guide comes with a companion program - the Rocket Guide to Vanuatu - a comprehensive tourism guide to Vanuatu with all the activities and points of interest of every Vanuatu island. |

"We would not have cleared into Port Resolution without your guide. The charts don't have anything like the detail and information you give and we would not have attempted it. Your guide was well worth the investment."
