It's really small and not a lot to see. Lots of model ships and a cool anchor test box, but overall I left unsatisfied.

As the other reviews have said... Very small. If the fee was maybe cheaper, it would be ok (and maybe attract more customers). Only went in for the Saturday themed playgroup which was good... If I paid just for the museum, it's not ok..

The absolute worst way to spend $21.00. It would have been more entertaining flushing my money down the toilet than visiting this museum. It consists of 2 small rooms, smaller than my bedroom. Very over-priced, left a lot to be desired. Needs improvement. After 5 minutes you have seen all there is to see. Don't waste your money.

Kinda sad really.There's a room, maybe 150 sq ft with some models of ships ( really nice models, very detailed some 4' long ).Maybe 10 or 12 ships.There's another room with some examples of knots sailers use.There's a box with 1 side gravel and 1 side sand and some miniature examples of various types of anchors you can put in the gravel / sand and see how they grab the bottom.That's about it.$10.00 admission, we looked around and read the little info cards on the model ships and were out in about 20 minutes.I was totally underwhelmed and disappointed. You'd think we could do better.

You only need 15 minutes to look over the two rooms: one with steamship models, the other with knots. I KNOW Victoria has more maritime history than that!

Very small museum of maritime issues, ship models and miniature anchors to test on how they penetrate the bottom and keep the boat safe. Staff very friendly, should try to enlarge it and be more a museum than simply a small exhibition of few objects. Maritime history of this coast is definitely worth the effort.

I went for a private event .This would be an interesting place to rent for work party work event.There was wine service allowed and a possibility to bring food to share . The museum had a temporary LGBTQ and sailing exhibition. Many boats models, knots anchors. Small but nice museum.

I am not really a big boat enthusiast but decided to check it out when they had an open house on Victoria day long weekend. I was pleasantly surprised to see a fabulous art show at the back of the museum (see attached pics) so it was well worth the visit for me. It is very small but it would take quite awhile to read and listen to everything they had on display there.

We had such fun at the Sea Glass Jewelry class! Naomi was a wonderful, patient and enthusiastic teacher. Bonus was that a visit to the museum was included in the modest fee!
