A marine vessel maneuvering support system includes a steering apparatus including a wheel portion supported rotatably with respect to a hull, mode switches provided on the wheel portion and operable to execute lateral thrust generation modes to generate a thrust that moves the hull in a lateral direction, paddles provided on the steering apparatus and operable to cause a thrust to be applied to the hull in a front-rear direction, and a controller configured or programmed to control at least two propulsion devices and execute the lateral thrust generation modes in accordance with instructions from the mode switches. The controller is configured or programmed to control at least one propulsion device of the at least two propulsion devices to generate or change the thrust in the front-rear direction acting on the hull in response to operations of the paddles when the lateral thrust generation mode is being executed.
