"Young's warm and conversational writing style gives even a landlubber a comfortable trip through the navigational intricacies of sailing the coastal waters en route to the shoreside attractions that beckon all travelers."--Touring America

This completely updated cruising guide covers the waters of the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, stretching from Carrabelle, Florida, to Grand Isle, Louisiana. For the first time, Claiborne Young includes approximate longitudes and latitudes for marinas and anchorages, as well as additional access information to Grand Isle, Barataria, the Chandeleur Islands, and Venice in the Mississippi Delta. He has even devised a dockage fee-rating system, so cruisers can choose a "below-average-," "average-," or "above-average-priced" marina. Like all of Young's guides, Cruising Guide to the Northern Gulf Coast combines expert navigational advice with candid evaluations of facilities, marinas, restaurants, and other shoreside attractions. This edition of the cruising guide is also cross-referenced to the current NOAA maps in Coastal Charts for Cruising Guide to the Northern Gulf Coast.

Claiborne S. Young's books for Pelican have become the gold standard for cruising guides. A resident of Snow Camp, North Carolina, Young also edits the on-line cruising newsletter The Salty Southeast. His other books include Cruising Guide to Western Florida: 5th Edition; Coastal Charts for Cruising Guide to Western Florida; Cruising Guide to Eastern Florida: 4th Edition; Cruising the Florida Keys (as coauthor); Coastal Charts for Cruising the Florida Keys; Coastal Charts for Cruising Guide to Coastal North Carolina; Power Cruising: The Complete Guide to Selecting, Outfitting, and Maintaining Your Power Boat, 2nd Edition; and Cruising Guide to New York Waterways and Lake Champlain (as editor).
