39,90 €
You are holding the 3rd edition of the East Baltic Coast Harbours Guide – a book that will lead you through the network of more than 70 marinas in Estonia and Latvia to create your sailing adventure in this little-known side of the Baltic Sea. The destinations of the East Baltic Coast offer a diverse sailing experience along both sandy and rocky beaches and cosy small islands. You can visit fishing villages, the green countryside, port cities, vibrant Baltic capitals Tallinn and Rīga, popular resorts and gourmet restaurants. You can also enjoy a safe and pleasant stay in the well-equipped and modern marinas that are located within 50 nmi from each other.
Marinas of the East Baltic Coast offer the best standard of service that includes safe navigation into harbours, secure and green environment and high-level services in the harbour. We were happy to receive advice from experienced sailors about information that is necessary for safe navigation in the area, and the updated cruising guide provides all the latest data about the marinas: contacts, approach guides, available services and advice for tourists.
Marinas are presented in five chapters that are arranged geographically, starting from Liepāja Marina in the south and continuing along the coastline to the north: Western Latvia or Kurzeme Coast covers the coastline of the Baltic Sea and continues to the Kolka Cape – the very northern point of Kurzeme region. Marinas in this part are located in estuaries of the largest rivers. From these marinas you have a good connection with Saaremaa Island (Estonia) and Gotland (Sweden). The Gulf of Rīga includes both Latvian and Estonian marinas (chapter Pärnu and southwest Estonia). The Gulf of Rīga is a gentle sailing area, which invites you to enjoy endless sandy beaches.
Mooring at the very centre of Rīga, the metropolis of the Baltics, allows you to discover this dynamic port city on the trade route between Western Europe and the East. Enjoy sailing along the coastline and take off to discover the Estonian islands. Western Estonia and islands is comprised of almost 30 marinas, both on the islands and mainland. They are located close to each other, and it is worth it to spend a few hours sailing to visit Saaremaa, Hiiumaa, and several smaller islands, where the unspoiled nature, local traditions, and rural atmosphere will charm you.
North Estonia covers the northern part of the East Baltic Coast. Sailing around Tallinn allows you to visit the city or discover smaller islands nearby. Here you may start the journey towards St. Petersburg (Russia) or continue up to Scandinavia – by the shortest route across there are only 45 nmi from Tallinn to Helsinki. May this guide provide you with insights that will make sailing in the East Baltic Coast an unforgettable and pleasant experience!
