Provisioning
We like Bobby's. You can order online. They deliver directly to the boat.

Bobby's or there is a larger market just a couple of blocks from Sunsail's base. Can't remember the name of it. Just ask when you arrive.

We used Bobby's too. They will pick you up and drive you back to the marina for free if you spend more than $150.
The problem we had is that their selection offseason (we were there in November) was pretty bad. Lots of stuff had mold or was out of date. It took a lot of looking for find things that were still good for perishable items.
The market right at the Spanish Town marina was better and they give you 30 minutes free for shopping (its $10 per hour for longer or you can spend the night for a $1 a foot; we stayed here and took a taxi to the baths because it was too rough to moor and then go in by dingy). We also heard that the market at Souper's Hole was the best.
We've used Tico's for liquor, their prices were cheaper for what we were looking for. They also delivered to the boat, so we didn't have to haul all that heavy stuff. We walked to Bobby's from the Sunsail Dock. We bought most of our groceries there.
