Starpath Nav

Starpath Nav Always old, always new... by which we mean we teach the latest technologies, as well as the time-tested traditional methods of navigation and weather analysis

The school facilities are located in Seattle's historic Scandinavian community of Ballard, about halfway between the Government Locks and the Shilshole Bay Marina. This is where we coordinate worldwide online training in all areas of marine navigation and related subjects as well as the production of navigation software and books, both printed and electronic (Starpath Publications). The school had

more than 26,000 classroom students (in several locations over the years) between 1977 and 2002, at which time we switched to online training. The instructors are practicing navigators with years of teaching experience and thousands of miles of sea time. Most sailors in the Northwest and thousands around the world know of the school and its fine reputation for high quality instruction and teaching materials

Paper charts being discontinued. These San Juan Island charts marked LE (last edition) will be gone on Oct, 2022, to be replaced by their ENC counterparts. We recommend mariners look into our new course on the use of ENC. These vector charts include much more information, but there are notable differences on how we read them: https://www.starpath.com/catalog/courses/1926.htm
