A watercraft propulsion system (100) includes a bow thruster (BT) to generate a lateral propulsive force, a propulsion device (OM) on a stern (3) of a hull (2) and having a variable steering angle, and a controller (50) configured or programmed to control the bow thruster (BT) and the propulsion device (OM) to perform a fixed point holding control to maintain a position and an azimuth of the hull (2). The fixed point holding control includes a translation mode in which the hull position is maintained by controlling the propulsive force of the propulsion device (OM) with the steering angle set to a translation mode steering angle and the hull azimuth is adjusted by controlling the propulsive force of the bow thruster (BT), and a bow turning mode in which the hull azimuth is adjusted by controlling the propulsive forces of the bow thruster (BT) and the propulsion device (OM) with the steering angle set to a bow turning mode steering angle.
