During a recent trip to Abaco, we had the pleasure of meeting Robert Williams, the dock master at Hopetown Marina in Abaco, and we can’t say enough good things about him. Robert is a truly solid person who sees his job and his work as two distinct callings—both of which he pours his heart into. His job is to keep the docks and logistics running smoothly, but his work goes far beyond that. Guided by his faith and a genuine desire to uplift others, he ensures every visitor has an unforgettable experience. Robert has a generous heart—he takes away your worries before you even realize you have them. Whether he’s tackling tough tasks with ease or stepping up in an emergency, he handles everything with a calm confidence that puts everyone at ease. During a sudden issue with a member of our party, he took charge immediately, sorted it out, and even checked back later to make sure we were doing okay. That kind of care is rare and made our stay so much better. If you’re docking at Hopetown Marina, Robert’s presence alone is reason enough to choose this spot. He’s a gem! The manager, Erin, must be setting a good tone, because the warmth and welcoming of all the staff to everyone, including those who stay at the Inn/Marina and those who simply go for the yummy drinks and dinner. Try the Pina coladas with a floater!
