The Love Boat: Annual Gala

SBMM's annual fundraiser takes place every year in March with guests enjoying refreshing cocktails and a delightful dinner.  This delightful event is reminiscent of the classic Love Boat experience. A highlight of the festivities is the accompanying Online Auction, which opens to the broader community and features exclusive experiences, luxury getaways, and one-of-a-kind maritime-inspired items. The auction extends the excitement beyond the event itself, giving supporters near and far the opportunity to participate while helping raise essential funds that support SBMM’s exhibits, youth education programs, and ongoing efforts to preserve and share Santa Barbara’s rich maritime heritage.

All aboard for adventure, community, and impact. Let’s set sail—together.
