Nautical Charts
The nautical chart of your navigation area is an essential element to use on board to navigate safely. Whether you are sailing inshore or offshore, it will first help you choose the most suitable route for the forecasted conditions (weather, tides, current). Once at sea, the chart helps to monitor and manage the navigation: determine the position, note any deviations and correct the route. In "sensitive" coastal areas (rocks, sandbanks) or at the entrance to harbours, a more detailed chart gives the necessary indications to follow a safe route using buoyage or alignments: this is called coastal pilotage Mandatory on board as soon as you get to the coastal area, a chart can be in paper or electronic form, but we strongly recommend that you have both. Picksea offers two types of charts: the SHOM and the NV-Charts :
NAUTICAL CHARTS OF THE SHOM
The SHOM is the French Naval Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service. For 300 years, it is the service that establishes hydrographic surveys and publishes nautical charts for France and many areas in the World. The SHOM offers two formats of paper charts, folded charts and flat charts. The L-chart collection (folded version) is a selection of nautical charts perfectly adapted for pleasure boating. They provide boaters with exactly the same information as conventional charts and are updated at regular intervals. Picksea has a selection of the top 20 best selling and most popular L SHOM navigation charts used by boaters as well as the charts dedicated to the SHOM dedicated to exams pleasure Craft (Offshore licence) or merchant marine. The SHOM also offers a number of "flat" charts that can be delivered rolled.
NAUTICAL CHARTS PACKS NV-CHARTS
NV-Charts is a German publisher who has designed and developed a concept of chart packs combining the traditional paper form with modern electronics. The concept is to propose for a navigation area (for example "from Lorient to Noirmoutier" or "from Toulon to Menton") in the same pack the paper charts at different scales (from the map of the covered area to the detailed maps of the ports) and the same charts in electronic format that it is possible to use with the NVapp application, i.e. the navigation software of NV-Charts whose standard version (sufficient for yachting) is free and usable on any support (Windows, Android, MacOS or Iphone).
AREAS COVERED BY THE OFFER PICKSEA
Picksea offers you a choice of nautical charts for the whole world thanks to its quality of Authorized Agent of SHOM. Find all the charts at different scales for the areas of English Channel, the North Brittany and South Brittanyand atlantic coast, the Mediterranean or the overseas areas.

<h2>Marine Card Packs for the Caribbean and West Indies Zone</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span>The nv-charts are characterized by fine contours and easily distinguishable colour graduations of the depth lines: turquoise for coral reefs, red for the 2-metre line and blue for the 5-metre zones. </span><span>Presented in a practical and user-friendly format (A3 closed and A2 open), a thick plastic envelope protects the cards, making them easy to store. </span><span>The importance of a good graphic representation of the topography when navigating in the Caribbean is essential.</span><br /><br /><span>Well-marked rivers, towns and street maps all contribute to a clear overview of the islands' waterfront facilities. Red numbered waypoints with coordinates based on WGS 84 allow mariners to navigate with their GPS instruments. Heights and depths are shown in the internationally recognized metre format. Large-scale approaches and land contour markings simplify entry into anchorages.</span></p>

<h2>Pack of 2 official 9999 marine charts from SHOM</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span>The nautical chart of SHOM 9999 is the official chart of the exam of the <strong>offshore sea permit</strong> which allows to navigate beyond 6 miles from a shelter. It is also on this chart that you will do all the exercises to prepare you for the exam </span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:justify;"><em>Why buy 2 charts?</em></h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The fact of doing many exercises on the chart (with a lot of deletion) often makes it unusable for the exam and this is why many exam centers require a new chart for the exam. It should be noted that the organising administration keeps the card as a copy of the exam (except in the case of failure).</p>
<h2>Training and preparation for the offshore licence (theoretical test)</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">After passing the coastal licence (and perhaps also the inland waterways licence), you wish to extend your navigation area to the "high seas"! To do this, you need to obtain a deep-sea licence to sail motor yachts beyond 6 miles from a shelter (but it is also very useful for sailing). Read our<a title="Tout savoir pour passer le permis hauturier" href="https://blog.picksea.com/tout-savoir-passer-permis-hauturier/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> article "Everything you need to know about the offshore licence"</a> to find out more.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The chart SHOM 9999 is a special marine chart but it contains all the information of a real navigation chart (scale of latitudes and longitudes, coasts, probes, dangers, beacons, lighthouses, currents, ...). You can plot routes and bearings as well as position points, or measure distances as on a real chart <a title="Déterminer une route sur le carte marine" href="https://blog.picksea.com/determiner-route-direction-distance/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">See the article "Determining a route in direction and distance" on our blog </a></p>

Learn more about the navigation chart
A navigational chart is a graphical representation of a sea area or the coastal regions that border it. Depending on the scale of the chart, it shows the depths of water called "soundings" and the elevations of notable points on land. It also shows the nature of the seabed, details of the coastline, hazards to navigation (rocks, wrecks, sandbanks), the location of natural and artificial aids to navigation (maritime buoyage), information on tides and currents, local details of the earth's magnetic field and structures such as ports, buildings and bridges.

Why is a nautical chart necessary on board?
A nautical chart is an essential tool for both professional and recreational navigation. Many countries require ships to be equipped with them. It is necessary because once out of the harbour, there is no defined and safe route to navigate: each skipper must determine his or her route, avoiding all dangers while taking into account the weather and tide information.
What type of charts can be used?
Nautical charts can be printed on paper or computerized electronic navigational charts. Under French boating regulations, it is mandatory to have at least one chart covering the area of navigation either on paper or electronically. In the latter case, the reading device allowing the use of the chart must be operational. It is also necessary to ensure that the charts are recent or that they have been properly and regularly updated
