The people who make a place

A waterfront is a community.

Swimmers, rowers, anglers, captains, volunteers, and families. The Bay brings many kinds of people into the same story.

Work that happens alongside others

Molly’s documented swim-support work is one clear example of a waterfront connection. UltraSwimming records name her as pilot and Molly’s Boats as escort vessel for two 2025 round-trip Angel Island swims. The athlete’s effort and the support boat’s role are distinct parts of the same event.

Molly also works as a safety boat for San Francisco Swim, and swim clubs such as the South End Rowing Club and the Dolphin Club share the same water.

A shared stretch of water. Many reasons to care for it.

Volunteering

Molly volunteers her boat and her time. She runs trips for the Farallon Patrol, the volunteer boat program that supports Point Blue Conservation Science’s work on the Farallon Islands, and she has helped at the Wheelchair Regatta.

A broader working waterfront

Molly’s Boats also takes film and photo crews out for shoots, and runs water-taxi trips between Hyde Street Harbor and other landings. Molly was the photography boat for the Masters Wooden Classic.
