The Santa Maria is the larger Swing Boat from Metallbau Emmeln—striking in design, gentle in motion, and ideal for families with children. Inside the impressive hull, guests experience the rise and fall of a real sea voyage—securely guided by a reliable drive system.

Compared to the smaller “Sindbad,” the Santa Maria is designed for children from 110 cm (43 in) and up, as well as accompanying parents or guardians. The ship swings in wide, even arcs from front to back—delivering just the right level of excitement for younger audiences.

Visually, the Santa Maria is highly versatile: from authentic wood looks to colorful pirate worlds, all the way to richly detailed themed scenes with figures, lighting, and sound effects.

Thanks to robust engineering, the Santa Maria is especially durable and low-maintenance. It requires minimal staffing and offers high capacity per cycle. The low boarding height makes access easier for kids—a big plus in high-traffic areas.

Perfect for maritime zones, family areas, or standalone experience islands with high visibility and great photo appeal.
