We spent a week in Tobago last month. Free moorings in Store Bay near the airport, intended to protect the reef, which is very nice. Only dinghy dock we found was in Charlotteville where we anchored in 50 ft. But the immigration people in Charlotteville were passive aggressive and we will not return. A lot of crime ashore with recent attacks against afluent foreign residents. Virgin Air Lines has recently removed it from their recommended vacation locations and the Brits have issued a crime advisory.
Trinidad is not much more dangerous than other Islands providing you stay with the rest of the cruisers, crime is down in Chaguaramas and TTSA. The police have a great deal of internal corruption but it is not directed at the cruisers. Biggest danger is riding in a maxitaxi with the lunatic drivers, providing you do not wander at night.
Chaguarama has a very good 'cruisers service' run by a Trini called Jessie James. He organizes shopping, movie and sight seeing tours.
Best marina is Crews Inn, safe, well run, nice pool and about 95c/ft/day with lousy internet connectivity.
Customs and Immigrations in Chagauramas are a delight to deal with in spite of too many rules. We even got a free night on their dock.
