Angel Island ferry hop

As the daughter of the Angel Island-Tiburon Ferry line's founding captain, Maggie McDonogh grew up on this ferry. Now she's the captain, with two kids of her own. Here are "Captain Mom's" ideas for a great day on and off the ferry.

Getting there

The Angel Island-Tiburon Ferry leaves from the dock in downtown Tiburon on weekends every hour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The last ferry back from the island is at 5:20 p.m. $10 round-trip; 415/435-2131.
