No matter which marina/boatyard you are in in Trinidad, be wary. Crews Inn has the worst record for security than the others, maybe because of the more expensive boats tied up there. But really, the main access for the "bad guys" is the water and all the boatyards/marinas are openly accessible to anybody in a dinghy or small boat. Also the main "fisherman's harbor" is just east of all the boatyards/marinas and the local's love to see how high a wake they can generate as they go by each marina. Also there have been plenty of incidents where collisions have occurred and cruisers injured. As a foreign visitor you have no recourse other than to leave the country if you cannot put up with the locals. Bottom line, be a good guest, be cautious and street-wise as you would in any major industrial city, and take all the tours and trips you can from Jesse James. Then you will really like the place as I do. Attitude is the whole difference between being pissed and resentful or easy going and having a good time.
