End of era: Imray to stop paper charts production

For dozens of years sailing enthusiasts all over the world have been using the charts and water pilots published by Imray

However, the company has announced it will be phasing out paper products gradually, which is definitely the end of an era. According to Imray, this decision was not easy, but they have to recognize the growing trends in nautical digital navigation. 

The charts will still be printed through the 2025 season, but there will be no new editions after that. Despite such a sad announcement, Imray will go on paying special attention to supporting the yachting world with its pilot books and cruising guides, as well as a popular digital product named “Explore with Imray”. These resources will continue providing carefully checked essential information for coastal and off-shore navigation.

Imray extends its thanks to all the customers, and offers all those interested a final opportunity to preserve its legacy and acquire the business and/or the rights to the Imray name, which will continue the well-established tradition in the global maritime community.
