For all recreational and commercial vessels navigating the U.S. intracoastal waterways and the Great Lakes

The complete Inland Navigation Rules for all US Inland waters and the Great Lakes is an indispensable reference app for boaters. It contains essential information for those navigating U.S. coastal waters, rivers, canals and lakes. 

The inland waterways of the United States include more than 25,000 mi of navigable waters – and certain laws and regulations apply to users of these waters. This app gives quick, easy-to-view reference and is also a great learning tool.

With 100+ specially produced explanatory illustrations and captions. For all boaters.

Anyone who is responsible for a vessel, from the smallest dinghy to an ocean going freighter, must be able to recognize other vessels around them by day or night, whatever the visibility. They need to be able to quickly interpret what other vessels are doing, who has right of way and what action they should take to prevent a possible collision. This is not always easy, especially along crowded rivers, narrow channels, in harbors or in poor visibility.

US Inland Navigation Rules features 100+ specially produced explanatory illustrations and captions. It also includes the complete Inland Rules of the Road plus Annexes and relevant regulations for waterways users, including the COLREGS Demarcation Lines that separate the International and Inland Navigation Rules around the U.S. coastlines. 

While the Inland Rules are similar to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, there are important differences which need to be understood by both professional and leisure boaters.

A bonus illustrated section includes emergency procedures for boaters in difficulty.
