Our History
Over 35 Years of Service and Dedication!Pete Smyth
The Founder of Florida Waterways
- Published a regional monthly boating magazine the FLORIDA WATERWAYS
- Realized there was an overwhelming need for a comprehensive source book or a book of “local knowledge”.
- Created by Florida boating people
- Providing accurate, up to date and practical information
- For everyone boating in Florida, “locals” and “snowbirds” alike
- Unlike most cruising guides produced by visitors based on limited observation
- His dictum to the Editor and Staff:
“Make sure it contains everything anyone boating in Florida needs to know; don’t leave anything out. Our goal is to make boating more fun and less hassle for Florida boaters and our cruising visitors.”
The Silver Book
A common term used by our readers
The Silver book changed considerably over the years
- Its scope has increased from the original FCD Cover-1st Edition copy Stuart to Key West coverage
- Now includes ALL of Florida and the Bahamas as well
- We have always tried to live up to the statement we boldly made on the first cover (Right): “IF IT ISN’T IN HERE, YOU DON’T NEED IT!”
The Companion Website
The Perfect Companion
Created the companion Website in the mid 1990s Enabled Us:
- To publish monthly updates and corrections
- To improve and add opportunities to Advertisers
- To keep up with unanticipated changes
- “user friendly” by providing an easier to access format.
