A watercraft propulsion system includes a bow thruster, at least two propulsion devices, a translation/bow turning operator to apply a translation command to translate a hull and a bow turning command to turn a bow of the hull, and a controller configured or programmed to drive the bow thruster, and drive one of the at least two propulsion devices forward and another of the at least two propulsion devices in reverse while controlling the steering angles of the at least two propulsion devices so that propulsive force action lines of the at least two propulsion devices cross each other in the hull in a translation watercraft maneuvering mode to translate the hull in response to an operation of the translation/bow turning operator. The controller includes a calibration mode in which calibration is performed for the translation watercraft maneuvering mode.
