Captain's Reviews of the The Cruising Guide to New Caledonia

definitely made our New Caledonia cruising experience 100% better

"We recommend the Rocket Guides to anyone thinking of sailing to New Caledonia. We have used the guide non stop since being in New Cal to plan the safest anchorages, find awesome snorkeling spots as well as finding parts and services we needed for our yacht. It is such a valuable tool and definitely made our New Caledonia cruising experience 100% better. "

When we arrive, it feels like we’ve already been there.

We wholeheartedly endorse the Rocket Guide to New Caledonia. We’ve never sailed anywhere here before, so the first step of our departure planning involves reading the guide’s detailed anchorage descriptions and looking at the photos. When we arrive, it feels like we’ve already been there. The advice has always been dependable. The Rocket Guide is a great time saver and the perfect way to make sure you don’t miss anything on your voyage.

This guide is simply the best cruising guide we have used anywhere.

Captain Nyme Review

"We had a hardware issue that stopped the Rocket Guide from loading during our passage to Noumea. The prompt response to our short cryptic satellite text messages providing navigational assistance was greatly appreciated.
What was unexpected was a USB drive waiting at Port Moselle Marina for us when we arrived with the latest version that fixed our hardware issue.
Service like this is very rare in this day and age. The Rocket Guide is up and running again and we are now starting to explore the beautiful lagoon.
This guide is simply the best cruising guide we have used anywhere we have ever cruised and is simply money well spent. Don't waste your time on anything else!"

Complete, user friendly

I have been using the Rocket nautical guides for New Caledonia and Vanuatu for several years and they are the most complete, user friendly cruising guides I have ever seen. I have found them to be very accurate and there is more good information than I have found in any other cruising guides.

I highly recommend it

" I have sailed in every ocean of the world and have never come across a guide so interactive and user friendly. The images are top quality and you feel as you have already been to New Caledonia before you arrive. I highly recommend it to any cruiser or professional crew. Well done."

Like having your own tour guide aboard!

"The rocket guides are like no other cruising guide we have seen. The amount of information that is contained in these guides is truly remarkable. Having the Rocket Guides aboard when you cruise New Caledonia or Vanuatu will ensure that you get the most of the experience. It is like having your own personal tour guide aboard your boat!
We recommend the Rocket Guides to all the participants of ourGo East and Go West Downunder Cruiser's rallies."

I genuinely rely on the Rocket Guides. I've never seen any other cruising guide that even comes close to the amount and quality of information or ease of use.

Don't Miss Out

"I can't praise you highly enough for the absolutely marvelous job you have done with the cruising guide. It has taken some extraordinary effort. Can't help thinking about how ALL yachts visiting New Caledonia can be convinced that your guide is an absolute MUST. If they don't have it they don't know how much they will miss out."

The world's best

"Your cruising guide of New Caledonia has been a great help for us to find the most beautiful anchorages. Your beautiful photos, aerial and 360 degree views and all the knowledge, all interactive make this cruising guide unique. I think it's the world's best cruising guide and I recommend it to everybody who is cruising New Caledonia."

You know exactly what to expect

"The Rocket cruising guides for New Caledonia and Vanuatu are unlike any other guides I have used. They are very quick & easy to navigate around. They are full of all the usual information that a guide has but with added bonuses of Aerial pictures of the anchorages, Underwater shots of the marine life at that location, 360 degree images of the area that you are visiting and lists of "things to do" when you get there- you know exactly what to expect when you arrive safely at your destination. I highly recommend these guides."

A Must Have

"Having used the Rocket Guides for both Vanuatu and New Caledonia this season we consider the Rocket Guides a "must have" for all skippers cruising these waters. The route and anchorage data is extremely accurate and the information re local services, walks and snorkelling is invaluable."

It's crazy to cruise New Caledonia without it.

"The Rocket Guide completely changed our experience of New Caledonia. The best anchorages we visited were those we found in the Rocket Guide. I would say that it's crazy to cruise New Caledonia without it. We found it so valuable we created a little video for our friends to introduce them the guide. Click to see it."

Captain Squander Review

"With two sailing seasons in New Caledonia and Vanuatu behind us we have found the Rocket Cruising Guides an invaluable, essential resource for information on cruising these fantastic islands. With stunning visual presentations and an instant, intuitive interface, we have been able to quickly find essential navigation information and comprehensive coverage of everything we needed to know to explore these waters. Highly Recommended!"

Captain Masterplan Review

"We have enjoyed cruising in New Caledonia for four seasons thanks to the knowledge shared in the Rocket Guide. It's up to date information of anchorages, snorkelling, treks is a resource that we refer to on a daily basis. The authors have an incredible knowledge of the area, it's history, flora and fauna and marine life which is shared throughout the guide. We wouldn't be without it!"

I strongly recomend the Rocket Cruising Guide to New Caledonia

"I have cruised over 100,000nm in the North and South Pacific Oceans. Nowhere have I found a published or digital cruising guide that comes anywhere near offering as much information in such a concise and simple manner as The Rocket Cruising Guide to New Caledonia. In addition to providing detailed nautical information for over 220 anchorages, the guide is full of details, rarely seen in cruising guides such as bush walks, historical ruins, dive sites and places of interest backed up with excellent photographs. In Noumea, the names of specialists, be they marine, medical or victuallers, are provided with not just the contact details but with their location shown on street maps.

I strongly recommend The Rocket Cruising Guide to New Caledonia."
