Easily the best Nautical Chart store I’ve ever come across. Their customer service is absolutely exceptional. Not only did they have everything I needed; they opened the store early to accommodate my early flight…AND even offered to give me a ride to the airport! I wasn’t even spending a ton of money; they were just being genuinely helpful. We need more business this this one!!

This place was great. Everything charts you could ever want or need. Personal service.

The overall peace of mind that we have, knowing that we are in the very capable and knowledgeable hands of a truly professional staff allows me to always recommend Bluewater Books and Charts to all my clients. Thank you Toni. You always exceed our expectations.

I have been using Bluewater Books & Charts for all of my Charts & Publications. Toni Barber has been an absolute superstar. She is always on time with everything and goes the extra mile to ensure you get exactly what you need.

Bluewater Books & Charts ROCK!....I love these guys and have been continuously using their services, expert knowledge and information for all my nautical and navigational needs both professionally and recreationally since early 2001.Toni was my go to person and working with her has made buying a smooth and fun experience. She truly cares about what you need and goes above and beyond to make sure you have all the information required to make the right decision when purchasing.I know some of the other team members very well along with the owners John and Vivien who have all become friends over the years. They run a friendly, upbeat and professional company, one that I can highly recommend.Captain Peter Harrison

As a Charter Yacht Manager for many years, I have relied on Bluewater Books and Charts as my own yacht travel resource, as well as a trusted support to my managed boats. Service and competent information and response has always been received. Those things are appreciated but more important is the personalized assistance Toni offers as the large yacht support, is what makes Bluewater the best in our industry. She goes the extra mile in a pinch and makes the most challenging requests easily resolved and is a pleasure to work with.

Toni Barber is fantastic. I have dealt with Toni for over 10 years now. Toni has come to my vessel at short notice to replace review my chart and publications and has updated these for my immediately. Incredibly professional service and I can recommend her to anyone.

I have been shopping at Bluewater Books for over 20 years. I truly enjoy going into the store to see whats new. I have always found what I need and never had a bad experience. Toni Barber has been extremely helpful with keeping our inventory up to date with the ever changing requirements. Super job, keep it up!

Since first arriving in FL in 2004, Bluewater has always been my go-to nautical chart store. Much like any place you frequent, its not so much about the product as it is about the service and the fact that they really do personalize it all too! One of the best parts is there are still some awesome familiar faces like Toni, Erik & David. I do use other stores from time to time, but regardless where I am in the world, Bluewater always seems to be my choice. This isnt a paid promotion, just putting it out there and sending some good vibes to a local store! Thanks Team!

Toni Barber continues to exceed expectations. She organized and delivered charts over Xmas by car to Miami and then by boat to us in the Bahamas through her network. Top notch service and always true to her word. Much appreciated and job well done. Thanks again ToniF/O 154 Delta

Simply THE place to buy cruising guides, charts, and so forth.

You will be challenged to find a business that serves the needs of their clients with as much care and attention than Bluewater. As a sailor, I can rely on Erik and his team for a quick response anytime and having my questions answered promptly. Theres a wealth of knowledge at Bluewater and they are there to help. Highly recommend.

A few years ago, during the new build of a sailing catamaran for my client, I consulted with Toni Hemming Barber at Bluewater on the best way to plan the supply and updating of both digital and paper charts for the upcoming five-year circumnavigation aboard the catamaran. Toni arranged a meeting with myself, the yacht owner and her Bluewater team members to coordinate the process of purchasing, shipping and updating all the nautical charts, cruising guides and sailing directions we would need.Because of Toni’s excellent leadership, Bluewater is my “go to” resource for charts and books no matter where in the world I am cruising.Capt. Jeff

None of the individuals I’ve sent her way have been disappointed. Toni will sort you out in no time and make it look effortless.

A very well managed and very professional company that takes care of all our chart and software needs. Toni Barber handles our needs and is very good at what she does. Great service always!

I have been using Bluewater over 12 years now and Tonis knowledge and ability is second to none. She has helped me through 2 New-Build yachts, a 56m and currently a 61m at the end of the build,. Nothing is ever too much trouble and she always knows what you need off hand. She will never sell you products you dont need and is always ready with advice and her team is ready to help.

Great place for your nautical needs on maps, navionics, books & more. Staff well versed in finding the information you need if they dont have it. Anyone who rates this place any less than a 5 star, must have just gotten up on the wrong side of the bed & hit their head..

Excellent customer service. Toni was very knowledgeable and supportive in proper documentation our vessel needed. Their upgrading of our software and charts was done very professionally.

Such a great resource. As a yacht captain who spends half the year in Fort Lauderdale, I would highly recommend checking these guys out. Toni is always especially helpful and responsive, even with last minute requests!

Nice people ready to help you. But no discount, even for professional...the only bad experience with them but you have to know!

As a stewardess I have to say Toni Barber has been such a star when it comes to helping our yacht. She has always provided top notch service. Even helping stewardesses in the interior with resourcing items .Thank you Toni!

I have been working with Toni for over 10 years on several different boats and she is the secret to bridge compliance. Toni has always made sure we are ready to sail. Every change of itinerary and shortened deadline is met with a smile. You won’t find better service!!

Fantastic little gem in Ft. Lauderdale thats perfect for all mariners and yachties. All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

Exceptional customer service from Chris at Bluewater. You have earned a repeat customer!!

This place is great! Went there for help navigating a sailing trip to Martinique and these guys had all the answers. Hooked me up with a cruisers guide and presented multiple options for charts. Plus they have really neat gifts and nautical gear in there. They were so helpful and knowledgeable, I will definitely use them for all future trips!

Very knowledgeable staff

The service and selection was (is) incredible. Every person we interacted with was very friendly and knowledgeable. Just awesome. Well be back!

TERRIBLE EXPERENCE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING BUSINESS WITH BLUEWATER BOOKS AND CHARTS.I sent a chip for a chart update last fall when we were done boating for the season and switching from a boat on Lake Superior to a boat on the Mississippi river. It took about a month to get the chip back in the mail. I wasn’t able to get the chip tested in our new boat on the Mississippi river until last week. When I tested it, the chart updates I ordered where not on the chip. When I called to ask what we should do, they told me to send them the chip so they can test it and fix the problem. I mailed them the chip a 2nd time. When they received the chip they called me and said there was nothing they could do to fix the problem. They said they didn’t know why the update didn’t work and they didn’t offer to try to update the chip again since it was after the 30-day warranty period. They refused to refund my money and refused to update the chip with the charts I ordered. Obliviously, they’re 30-day warranty doesn’t do any good for seasonal boaters wanting to do their update off season or boaters that are unable to test their work within 30-days.

Great nautical bookshop- amazing selection.

Go to Russel ! He’s the man !

Charts, bridge tools, Navigation aids, Flags, they have it all or will get it to you and ship it out anywhere in the world. Great shop, friendly knowledgeable staff.
