Thank you for supporting the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum!

Your gift allows us to use creativity, innovation, and technology to present exciting exhibits, offer unique and interesting lectures and events, and provide engaging educational programming, all while inspiring insightful discussions about the future of our coastal community.

Founded by a group of fisherman, divers, and sailors, SBMM provides hands-on learning opportunities for all ages, delving into Santa Barbara’s robust maritime history while highlighting the important role of the Santa Barbara Channel in our region.

We could not do it without you! Your support allows us to celebrate more than 13,000 years of maritime history – from Chumash culture to today’s surfing and  environmental movements.

With gratitude,

The SBMM Team
