South Caicos fuel & water (Seaview Marina dock)

21° 29.6′ N · 71° 32.1′ W

The only fuel stop in the eastern Caicos: gasoline and diesel at the small Seaview Marina fishing dock in Cockburn Harbour.

Practical

Gasoline, diesel, fresh water and 120-volt power (Visit TCI); Noonsite (2023) says fuel is available on the dock in large or small quantities. Water: Seaview can arrange a truck to the dock, minimum order one 55-gallon drum, best ordered the day before (cruiser report on Noonsite, 2016; verify locally). Deep-draft boats can't come alongside because of shoals, so most cruisers anchor off Long Cay and ferry jerry cans; call ahead on VHF 16. Dinghies can tie up at Seaview, and there's a public dinghy dock at the east end of the harbour used by dive boats. No laundromat or propane source was found in published guides; ask at the marina. Repairs are very limited; major work means Provo.

Best for

Fuel and water before the Turks Island Passage or the run to Hispaniola
