| By Boat Owners of cruising boats and private aircraft are welcome to use
them when traveling to Canada. As you know, this type of trip calls for far more
planning than a visit by car or public transport. For example, you are required
to enter Canada at a harbour or airport with a local Canada Customs office. The
only exception to this is if you are forced to come ashore or land in an emergency,
in which case you must call a Canada Customs office or the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police as soon as possible.
Canada has some of the best freshwater and saltwater cruising in the world,
and we encourage visitors to take advantage of it. Nautical charts, sailing directions,
small craft guides, tide and current tables and other nautical publications are
available from many commercial map suppliers in the United States. If you are
unable to find a local dealer to supply you with the charts you require, you may
contact the following offices:
