Angel Island Tiburon Ferry: Experience History, Wildlife, and Sunset Cruises

June 05, 2025 • Howard A Fox, Captain Maggie McDonogh • Episode 7043

Angel Island Tiburon Ferry Experience: History, Wildlife, and Sunset Cruises.

Welcome back to the Outdoor Adventure Series. In today’s episode, we set sail in the San Francisco Bay with Captain Maggie McDonogh, fourth-generation captain and owner of the Angel Island Tiburon Ferry Company.

Captain Maggie shares her unique story of growing up on the water, running a beloved family business that connects generations of locals and visitors to the natural wonders of Angel Island. We’ll hear about the deep history of the ferry service, the challenges and rewards of being a woman in the maritime industry, and the magic of everyday moments, like whale sightings and sunset cruises under the Golden Gate Bridge.

Maggie also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the close-knit crew, the ferry routes, and the partnership with the local community and California State Parks.
