“There is no other cruising guide out there quite like this,” said Christopher Garrity, Executive Editor. “Long Island Sound is the edition that started it all for this product line, and we have been able to build on that history. We feel it is simply the best and most up-to-date cruising guide for the area.”??

Each chapter introduces its ports with highlights and history. Marinas, clubs, attractions and restaurants are detailed with suggestions.
