The SB Maritime Museum (SBMM) and Captain Ed Venable will offer Graduates several opportunities throughout the summer and fall to cruise along the SB coast aboard the Ranger. This is a chance to see the shoreline and mountains from a different perspective, while also inspecting a floating Museum exhibit. Ranger is a 42-ft sport-fishing boat built in 1917 and refurbished with SBMM donations. She is a classic design of the era with large varnished deckhouse, fantail stern, and fishing cockpit. 

Each cruise is limited to 6 passengers. Both individuals and pre-arranges groups are welcome to make reservations. Additional dates are available and will be arranged as needed. Passengers should wear soft-soled shoes, bring a jacket, and are encouraged to bring a beverage of choice and an easily-passed snack to share (no dips or potato chips please). All passengers must be able to climb steps and walk on the deck of a moving boat unaided, if necessary. Passengers will also receive an entry pass to the SBMM.

When:

Tuesday May 19 -- Sunday, May 24 
Thursday June 4 -- Tuesday, June 9 -- Sunday June 14 -- Tuesday, June 23

All 5-7pm. July and August dates will be announced in the future.
