Every Marina I have stopped at in the Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Leeward
and Windward Islands charged for fresh water (up to $0.50/gal) except
Great Exuma. In Great Exuma, it was free at the spring, but you have to
ferry in in jerry cans.

If you're just stopping for gas, can you discharge your grey water...


I assume you mean pump out the waste holding tank. Toilet waste is black
water...gray water is shower, bath and galley sink water, which isn't
held (except on two inland lakes and some specifically designated areas
of the FLKeys National Marine Sanctuary), but drains directly overboard.
"No discharge" laws pertain only to toilet waste.


and
fill with fresh water at the gas stop. Is there a charge for it above
the price of gas?


Some marinas charge extra for pumpout...I know of none that charge for
fresh water.
