About the Author

Chris Doyle, a resident of Grenada, is a full time cruising guide author and spends over 6-months of the year sailing through the Caribbean, updating his books. He first sailed to Trinidad in the 70s and has been a strong supporter of Trinidad’s move into the yacht services market. He built his sailing survey catamaran Ti Kanot in Trinidad and visits Trinidad at least twice a year, storing Ti Kanot at Power Boats in Chaguaramas when he travels abroad. He has been writing cruising guides since 1980 and in every area he covers, his books have become the best selling cruising guides.

Jeff Fisher, a citizen of Grenada, often sails with Chris and has collaborated with him in two of his guides. Jeff has lots of Trinidad experience, having spent much time overseeing the construction of Ti Kanot. They sail together annually to Tobago for the Angostura Tobago Sail Week.

During our sailing trip from Martinique to Venezuela we used this book especially because of the detailed and useful information about small harbours and beautyful beaches. I can recommend it very strongly.

I have used excellent cruising guides by Chris Doyle while sailing in the eastern caribbean. This guide for Venezuela and Bonaire appears to be equally informative. The mini-charts are clear and provide enough guidance without being cluttered. The only reason I did not give the fifth start is that I have not used the guide in the waters for which it is written - perhaps next season.

Really well written and organized. This book lives up to the great reputation that Chris Doyle has built. A great blend of sketch charts, color pictures of areas depicted in charts and good local information. I have not sailed there yet, but I feel this guide will make it much easier.
