Our waterproof charts are printed on a
very durable, extremely tear resistant,
waterproof material using state of the art
printing technology. The waterproof
material accepts pencil markings well and
also erases well. The paper and printing process has been certified by NOAA and deemed to be suitable to withstand the
rigors of use in the marine environment.

TIP: If you plan to frame or laminate a chart using heat, then do not choose waterproof because the material can melt under heat.

These are up-to-date, NOAA charts simply
reduced in size so that the small dimension of the chart is 21”, the long dimension is proportionally reduced.

These charts are not recommended for navigation.

These are up-to-date, NOAA charts simply enlarged in size so that the small dimension of the chart is 42”, the long dimension is proportionally enlarged.

DECORATIVE ANTIQUED CHARTS

This is a unique line of decorative charts prepared by Paradise Cay Publications.

  • This is an art piece prepared with the look of a well-used chart with the patina of antique parchment.
  • Printed on our high-quality heavy paper.
  • We have added an additional border to allow for framing.
  • Shipped rolled, never folded.

The short side of the chart is always printed at 36" and the long side will vary depending on the chart - please do not order framing prior to receiving the chart. These will memorialize your favorite coastal area in vintage style and we have added to the standard border of the typical NOAA chart to allow for a more professional, frame-ready presentation.
