Material Options

PAPER CHARTS

Our paper charts are printed on high resolution, heavyweight, water-resistant paper, using state of the art printing technology. 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.

FULL SIZED PAPER CHARTS ARE CERTIFIED FOR CARRIAGE ABOARD COMMERCIAL VESSELS		 WATERPROOF CHARTS

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.

 Size Options

  

SMALL FORMAT CHARTS
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 printed to full size, therefore the scale is not the same as the full size NOAA chart, however the scale bars on the charts are proportionally reduced in size, and can be used for reference. These charts are not recommended for navigation.

SMALL FORMAT CHARTS ARE NOT CERTIFIED FOR CARRIAGE ABOARD COMMERCIAL VESSELS
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. These charts are printed beyond full size, therefore the scale is not the same as the full size NOAA chart, however the scale bars on the charts are proportionally enlarged in size, and can be used for reference.

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.

SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

Sunsetting NOAA raster nautical charts has started. What does that mean?

Sunsetting is a term that refers to purposely and systematically phasing out a product or service.

In 2019, NOAA announced its Sunsetting of Raster Nautical Charts. The raster sunset program will gradually end production and maintenance of NOAA traditional paper nautical chart products. Beginning in 2021, NOAA will start canceling its traditional nautical charts. The process is expected to be completed by January 2025.

  • NCC charts look different than traditional NOAA charts (see example above).
  • The data used to create NCC's is the most up-to-date.
  • NCC's do not have numbers, but can encompass the same area as traditional numbered charts and have the same scale and unit of depth measurement.
  • We will recreate a chart for you by using the NCC app, or you may create the NCC yourself and upload it for us to print.

NCC's are available from us in FULL SIZED, or SMALL FORMAT and can be printed on Paper or Waterproof material

Please note: Only one NCC can be ordered and uploaded at a time.
If you wish to order multiple custom charts, please make separate orders for each and we will combine shipping costs and ship your entire order together.
