The anchorage at Belize City is an open roadstead, often rolly with very poor holding.
Cucumber Beach Marina is a full-service marina off the Western Highway, just south of the town. Whilst services at the marina are good, it is rather isolated. Entrance to the marina should only be attempted at high tide (see http://www.tide-forecast.com/locations/Belize-City-Belize/tides/latest).
The other marinas around the city (Holiday Inn, Raddison and Princess) are all shallow and are relatively unprotected from the dangerous long rolling fetch. Although The Radisson Fort George Marina is useful for a shortstop for supplies etc.
Belize City is quite safe by day, although keep an eye out for pickpockets. Hold-ups and theft are regular events after dark, so use a taxi, even to travel short distances (make sure you confirm the price with the driver before you get in the car).
