Manage the Waterway
or the Waterway Manages You!

While brainstorming the content and layout of our first guide, we realized the solution to a successful migration was simple—either you manage the Waterway or the Waterway manages you.

Having the resources to plan ahead makes the difference between the stressful uncertainty of day-to-day challenges or your vessel becoming a magic carpet ride to enjoy the local sights, sounds, and experiences.

It all started with a mile-by-mile ICW guide. Today, the MTW Series includes cruising guide, reference book, electronic chart, and nautical reference library selections.

About semi-local publications

We publish cruising guides, reference books, and electronic chart catalogs that help boaters follow their dreams to new destinations.

As you travel you’ll never be a local, but the MTW Series helps you become a semi-local, comfortable and familiar with the local geography, resources, culture, nature, and history of each region you visit.
