## Boater's Pocket Reference Reviews in United States

### ***** "Good information"
Great basic comprehensive information. Somewhat dated but a very good reference.
-- Albert179, 2026-02-25

### *---- "Don’t Waste Your Money!"
Just bought this and within minutes realized I wasted my money. Found incorrect and incomplete info. Very hard to work. Referenced illustration that wasn’t there. 
Been sailing for almost 50 years and spent 30 years Active Duty Navy. Retired USN Captain.
-- CaptSteveR73, 2021-05-22

### ***** "A new in bible"
A Fantastic, valuable reference work.  Well worth the price.
-- DarlingtonJohn, 2019-09-13

### ***** "Best boating app there is!"
This app is fantastic and should be in the device of every boater.
-- Tam434, 2018-09-24

### ***** "A valuable App for every boater!"
This App is my go to for any question on boats from operations to conversion tables! Worth the money to buy.
-- qcaptain, 2018-04-24

### ***** "Outstanding reference guide!"
I’ve had this little book for about 15 years now, and while it may have been updated to reflect current technology, the basics will pretty much always be there.  I’ve done a fair bit of offshore sailing and (you may think this weird), I read various sections of the book regularly as a way to pass time.  E.g, the section on clouds - I can never remember the names of the various clouds - we’ll, there they are!   
I can’t speak highly enough or this reference.  Thanks to the author!!  I just bought this on-line version for my iPhone.  There it is on the screen now.  Also, if you’ve never seen or bought Grog’s knots - do so.  Fabulously easy to fathom how to tie knots.  Well done!
-- htimsc01, 2018-01-17

### ****- "Useful for Boaters"
Still exploring but I like what I've seen so far.
-- RickTheBugMan02, 2017-08-07

### ***** "Great App"
This has an incredible amount of information that any boater whether beginner or advanced. Definitely worth the cost of the app!
-- Lonic25, 2017-07-24

### ***** "Most Excellent"
More info than 4year university degree. + more.  Love it.  Bad weather, can't sail, read it.
-- geminibill3, 2017-04-24

### ***** "Recommend"
Great app. Lots of great info for both new boaters and Old Salts.
