There are two marinas in Philipsburg, Great Bay Marina and Bobby's Marina.
Boats that do not wish to use a marina may anchor in Great Bay, although the recent construction of a large cruise ship dock has somewhat restricted the space. It is a busy bay with many jet skis, so it's advisable to anchor some distance out if you don't want to be bothered by them. It can sometimes be quite rolly here. Water and fuel are reasonable and easy to get at Bobby's Marina, where there is a dinghy dock up a little creek next to the marina.
No anchoring is permitted inside the new buoyed channel. Both the channel and the anchorages are "no-wake" zones.
There is an anchoring charge here of approx. $4 a day.
