Bump.

Looking for the same thing, but have resigned myself to paying for them.

I assume you need something for the salty water. The Canadian shore of the Great Lakes is on the US charts. Anyway, here's the link to the chart viewer I usually use.

Sorry, I should have been more specific, I'm acutally looking for charts of the St. Lawrence. I had assumed that if there are free charts availible, they would all be in one place, much as most US charts are availible free from the NOAA

Thanks though, I hadn't found that before

DeepFrz is an unknown quantity at this point
Unfortunately Canadian charts are not free. Here is a link to Quebec chart retailers.
