Father’s Day Fun Awaits Along the Waterfront

Sunday, June 21 | 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Give Dad a day he’ll actually want—ships, stories, and a waterfront experience packed with adventure. Step aboard the Maritime Museum’s historic fleet, take in sweeping harbor views, and enjoy a relaxed day along the San Diego waterfront.

With General Admission, Dad receives a complimentary craft beer (21+), along with a FREE On-the-Water Adventure aboard one of the Museum’s historic vessels. It’s a great way to turn a visit into something even more memorable out on the bay.

Spend the afternoon exploring at your own pace—climb aboard iconic ships, discover exhibits, and enjoy time together on the waterfront. Whether it’s his first visit or a return favorite, it’s an easygoing way to celebrate.

Included with General Admission

One complimentary craft beer for Dad (21+ only, one per person)
FREE On-the-Water Adventure:
- 45-minute Narrated 1914 Pilot Boat Historic Bay Tour
