I keep a copy of the Florida Cruising Directory on the boat. Contains great info on all of Florida,

Index

I buy an updated version every few years. Also has some info for the Bahamas and crossing lake Okeechobee.

Active Captain is a good source, however, a book is good to have for those times when internet is not available. And on a small boat you probably won't have the power resources to keep electronics running and/or charged off of your battery. So even though AC reviews (I believe) download to your phone or laptop, there may be times when you don't want to turn them on in order to save them for emergencies.
