Wichita,, KS, United States
At Celestaire, we feel the science and art of navigation is of fundamental importance on all voyages whether on land, sea, or in the air. We think the celestial way, although ancient in origin, is still the most exciting way to navigate. It can be done anywhere with complete self-sufficiency, AND it can be practiced in one's own backyard. Our curious land-locked status began from selling government surplus aircraft sextants in Wichita in 1972. Although we still feature some of these, we began adding marine sextants and other unusual items not to be found elsewhere. Today we process more sextants than any other single firm in the world. In our catalog, our prices are among the lowest to be found anywhere. We have attempted to discuss the merits of each product, and to give our recommendations so that you can choose those that suit your needs best. Celestaire is staffed by people who are experienced in marine and air navigation, and of course, our specialty is celestial. We have flown by it, and sailed by it, and would be happy to discuss your particular requirements.

For centuries maritime shipping has been overwhelmingly the dominant form of transportation for global trade. In marine transportation vessels are always expected to complete their voyages safely and without delay. Safety concerns in narrow waterways and ports are accentuated by the continuing increase in marine traffic. The attendant growth in cargo volume has likewise increased the scale of the potential hazards to life, property and the environment that could result from just one catastrophic marine accident. Human error has been identified as the key causal factor in marine accidents with a ratio that varies from 75% to 96% and that is 85% in average. These are the facts that make pilots and pilotage services the most important elements of safety in narrow waterways and ports. Due to their training for a specific area and their experience gained during everyday operations, pilots bearing ocean-going master licenses can minimize human errors almost to zero level. A comparison of the accident statistics between two areas, one where pilotage is compulsory and one where it is optional, unequivocally supports this.
