The ships are floating museums, and remain tied to the docks for the duration of their stay in port.Ĭan the ships be chartered for dockside events or filming? A Santa Maria replica would not be able to travel to many places where The Nina and Pinta visit. The Santa Maria would require 14 feet of water depth, where the Nina & Pinta only draft 7 feet. The biggest operational difference between the two designs is the draft. The Santa Maria was a different type of ship, known as a "Nao" and considerably larger than the Caravels The Nina & Pinta. The Pinta was built 15 feet longer and 8 feet wider than the original, so she can accommodate more people, and be used for dockside charters/events.ĭo you have a replica of the Santa Maria? She is regarded as the most accurate reproduction ever constructed. We have a 95% success rate of arriving at our Port of call on time!
