This invention is a nautical chart intended primarily for small craft navigation. The nautical chart includes a representation of a shoreline on at least one side of a single sheet of flexible material. The representation of the shoreline includes at least one small scale chart and a plurality of large scale charts. Both large scale and small scale charts are suitable for piloting. A substantially continuous shoreline is represented by a combination of the plurality of large scale charts. The large scale charts can be an extension of the shoreline of the small scale chart, overlap the shoreline of the small scale charts, or both.
