nautical/navigation charts for pleasure boats
Explanation:
Similar to Roald's good suggestion, but to my mind "nautical charts" or "navigation charts" is a shade more vedertaget, as well as closer to kort.
See refs for important distinction between maps and charts (maps show land, charts show what is important at sea).
