Cross Promo Partnerships Leverage the Triad Discount Ticket cross-promotions with the USS Midway Museum and Navy SEAL Museum San Diego to expand access for regional tourists and school groups. Develop bundled admission and private event add-ons with partner institutions, plus targeted outreach to hotels, travel operators, and corporate groups to drive ticket sales.

Education Partnerships Recent collaboration with UC San Diego to launch Take Me to the Water demonstrates appetite for funded educational programs. Create sponsorships and programmatic partnerships with schools, universities, and foundations; offer classroom materials, docent-led experiences, and field-trip packages to broaden funding streams.

Vessel Charters Multiple historic vessels are available for private charters and corporate events, including renowned ships such as Star of India and Californian. Sell premium on-board experiences, catering partnerships, and customized tours to corporate planners, wedding organizers, and family groups; develop clear pricing tiers and seasonal sail options.

Fundraising Growth Redevelopment financing and donor history present opportunities for sponsorships and naming rights tied to vessels or exhibits, expanding corporate philanthropy pipelines. Craft sponsorship packages for exhibits, programs, and capital projects; target maritime, tourism, engineering, and local business communities to diversify revenue sources.

Tourism Partnerships Strategic local tourism collaborations can extend reach through hotels, cruise lines, and nearby attractions. Build B2B outreach to travel agencies, convention organizers, and online tour platforms; offer easy package deals, extended hours, and family-friendly pricing to convert visitors into museum guests.
