As you might guess from the banner above, I like this place.
That link is not a paid link.
It's just there because I feel good recommending them to anyone.
Everytime I have called I have gotten someone experienced.
They have given good recommendations on what charts and cruising guides I needed.
They sell multiple brands of charts and software.
Also nautical books of all kinds.

Look at Maptech's charts online.
It's in small squares and is slow to navigate.
But all their charts are there.
Good for finding a single spot of seeing the detail for deciding whether to purchase.
Not good for printing or planning.
Basically a sales tool, but good for what it is.

NOAA Charts on Google Maps

Online

This is a demo site. Hope it stays up there.
It uses Google maps as a base, then overlays the NOAA charts on top. You can set the transparency.
USA charts only.
This is the place to browse US charts online.

NOAA Booklet Charts
|
Download & Print
|
All the NOAA charts in a booklet for in PDF format.
You can download the section you want and print them on 8 1/2 x 11 paper.
The charts are divided between pages rather awkwardly, but, hey, they're free!

Download & Print or geo-reference yourself
|
The coasts and surrounding oceans in .tiff and .jpg format.
11 regions or select individual charts.
These are not geo-referenced so cannot be used directly by navigation software, but they could be geo-referenced.
They are tedious to download. If you know the chart numbers, use this link.
Or, if you want the entire thing in a 429mb .zip file, e-mail me for the link to download it from my site.
