Guide to the German Rhine

This is a 20-page, full colour A4 guide, written by CA members Dr Roger Edgar and Rob Thomas and edited by Gordon Knight. First published in 2018 and now updated for 2024, it covers about 725km of the river from the start of the navigable reach at Rheinfelden to Nijmegen just inside the Dutch border. As well as a helpful introduction to the hazards and highlights of cruising this beautiful river, the guide includes a detailed list of mooring points, fuel stations, ports and harbours along the river and a list of useful websites and sources of commercially published information.

The guide is regularly updated (usually annually) using reports submitted by members of the CA's European Inland Waterways Section (EIWS) and incorporates numerous hyperlinks to a wealth of additional information. CA members (who can download the digital version for free - you'll need to be logged in to see the free download link in Buying Options below ) also benefit from further hyperlinks to the CA's award-winning app CAptain's Mate to obtain the most up to date information on mooring locations and navigational restrictions as it is posted.

To obtain full benefit from these hyperlinks, all the EIWS guides can be purchased in digital versions as downloadable PDFs from the CA's digital store Shopify. Non-members can thus benefit from numerous hyperlinks in green to additional information on the internet, while CA members can also use hyperlinks in blue to the latest updates on CAptain's Mate.

For those who prefer a hard copy, all the guides can also be purchased in full colour A4 printed format from the print-on-demand publishers Lulu.

Also included in the guide is a 20% discount offer on first year's membership to purchasers applying online for CA membership during the year.

For information on the additional benefits (in addition to free PDF downloads of all the guides) available to members of European Inland Waterways Section (EIWS), please see EIWS web page.
