I recommend this product.

I had to look over the description again. I thought it would contain more information but it contains nothing more than as described in the description. That being said, there is a lot of information that could have been included and because of that, I give it 4/5 stars. (E.g. etiquette for passing boats.)

These are very handy to have on the boat for quick reference. Laminated hard to last and kept together in a solid ring. A must have.

This is a critical and handy boating reference guide. There are four different pages that are riveted together with a brass rivet to prevent against corrosion. Each page is constructed of material that appears to be identical to credit cards. The pages are heavy plastic and waterproof. Each page is printed and seems to be underneath a heavy clear protective coating. There are conversion charts, recognizing buoys, corn signals, VHF channels, how to tie knots, and terminology covered in these pages. The brass rivet is big enough to accommodate a brass chain to hang it where it will be visible. You need to be aware of all the rules and follow them to have a safe boating experience. Everyone who owns a boat should buy this and hang it up as a reminder that the rules are always to be followed. Recommended!

This boating reference guide is very compact and is perfect for novice boaters who need the elementary basics. My favorite part of the guide is that it contains good humor in some sections, resulting in many smiles! The content is basic navigation buoy purpose, horn signaling, VHF channel application, launch guide for trailering, cleat hitch training, anchor scoping, crew guide, boat terminology, and unit conversions. Overall, I score this guide as five stars for novice mariners as it provides the basics (minus navigation rules). I score it as three stars for advanced mariners as the knowledge provided is basic. Thus, my overall evaluation is four stars. Suggested improvements are to remove the measurement conversions as almost every mariner already has a cell phone and add basic navigation rules as most new novice mariners need help in this area.

This handy dandy lil guide book is essential for anyone on the water. There is a lot of rules to remember when navigating the waterway, and some of which are assumed. This guide book has them all. You really dont want to learn the hard way when it comes to some of these. Especially if you rent your boat out, you want whoever is operating it to be able to have more than common sense at their fingertips. This guide book is really well made, the pages are vinyl and the pages turn with ease. I plan to hook a o ring with a suction cup to the brass grommet to make it easy to keep next to the captains seat with easy access.

This set of Boating Reference Guide Cards is a great addition to any boat, especially for novice boaters or guests who are still learning. The waterproof material is a big plus they should hold up well even when they inevitably get splashed or handled with wet hands. The information on the cards is fairly basic, but thats exactly what makes them useful. They work perfectly as a quick reference when you want to double-check something and be 100% certain, without digging through a full manual or searching online. Compact, durable, and practical definitely worth having onboard!

These cards have a lot of good reference. They are quality made and have a good lamination making them waterproof and durable. This has good information that all boaters need to know.

Whether youre studying for your boating exam or already licensed, these cards are exactly what you need. Theyre well-designed, securely bound so they wont get lost, and laminated for durabilityperfect for keeping on the boat for quick reference.
They cover buoy identification, launching and navigation, anchoring and docking, and essential boating terminology. An excellent resource for both beginners and experienced boaters.
