Replicas of the Nina and the Pinta were in Panama City recently. Hurray for tall ships! They were suprisingly smaller than I had imagined, and more sparse/plain too. But the Nina was built to actual size and specs of the ship that crossed the Atlantic with Columbus. There isn't much for inside quarters, as most of the crew worked, ate, and slept on the deck. The group that tours with them said they don't have a Santa Maria replica, as it would have too deep of a draft for many of the places they travel. Check out their website for details and tour stops.
