South Side Marina (Providenciales)

21° 45.6′ N · 72° 13.4′ W

Small, friendly, cruiser-favourite marina in a dredged basin at Turtle Tail on Provo's south coast, with Bob's Bar, weekly potlucks and some of the island's best slip and fuel rates.

Practical

Port of entry. Fuel, water, power, self-service laundry, ice, Wi-Fi; slips of various sizes, tender docking, storage and lift-out. Call on VHF 16 before entering: the banks either side of the inlet get very shallow at lower tides and boats that stray off the line ground (an older marinas.com write-up mentions a locally marked approach east of Cooper Jack Rock with about 5 ft). noforeignland reviews mention channel-depth issues and long waits for officials. Dive operators Caicos Adventures and Aqua TCI run from here to Northwest Point, West Caicos and French Cay. Phone +1 649 946 4137.
