MEET THE DOCKMASTER
Eric Jenkins is the Marina Manager & Dockmaster at Fore Points Marina, learn more about him and say hello during your next visit to Fore Points!
How long have you been at fore points?
I was here in 2018 before the switch over, then came back in 2020. Before this, I managed marinas in New York and New Jersey.
What is your favorite part about your job?
I just love being near the water. I love boats, I could talk about boats all day long!
What is your favorite event in the area?
The lobster boat and tugboat races are pretty cool. The finish line for those races is right out in front of the marina!
What songs are on your summer playlist?
I usually cycle through Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and The Beatles.
What is one place on your travel bucket list?
Ushuaia. It is located on Tierra Del Fuego at the very tip of South America.
What is the compliment that a boater has given you or the marina?
That they found it to have a very professional staff.
What advice do you have for a first-time boater?
Learn how to drive in reverse! A lot of people think driving a boat is just like driving a car, but the steering is in the back which can make it very different.
When you go boating, what is one thing you always bring with you?
A paper chart!
What is the best spot for ice cream in town?
I’ll give a shout out to one of our slip holders - they run Gorgeous Gelato!
What is Your favorite Movie?
My favorite movie is A Hard Day’s Night.
