Route & typical conditions
Route
Typical conditions
Visibility ranging from 30 to 80 feet, and water temperatures between 68°F and 86°F depending on the season. Currents can vary, so checking conditions beforehand is essential. Marine life includes nurse sharks, barracudas, sea turtles, and vibrant reef fish.
Wreck history
Built in 1954, the tugboat underwent extensive repairs at American Custom Yachts in Stuart. Unfortunately, the owner was unable to pay the subsequent bill, leading the tug to sit idle for a year. Eventually, the yard foreclosed on the owner and generously donated the vessel to the Martin County Anglers Club, where it found a new purpose and home.
