Los Angeles Maritime Institute (LAMI) is a non-profit organization based in Los Angeles, California, that uses tall ships to provide hands-on, at-sea learning experiences for local youth. Through its programs, including the TopSail Youth and STEM initiatives, students gain exposure to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics while developing teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership skills in a real-world maritime environment. The institute serves youth from under-resourced communities and operates a division in Long Beach known as the Children’s Maritime Institute. It offers private charters and events—such as corporate team building, family celebrations, and shore excursions—out of the Port of Los Angeles and Rainbow Harbor, with proceeds supporting vessel maintenance and educational programs. The organization has a history spanning more than three decades and works in partnership with local community groups and schools to promote maritime and STEM career pathways.
