Site description
This small sailboat is the "cherry on the cake" for divers following the Fort Lauderdale Wreck Trek. It sits south of the Jay Scutti and it's in itself a nice but small paradise. As usual with seldomly visited wreck, marine life is abundant. Schools of grunts are common residents in this site. Also divers should expect to see parrot fish, angel fish and snappers patrolling the area.
The wreck does not offer any penetration opportunity as the remains are just the open hull of the old sail boat.
Route & typical conditions
Route
Operator will very rarely dive this site stand alone. This wreck is the southern most point for the so called "Fort Lauderdale Wreck Trek". The wreck can be dove coming from the Jay Scutti that sits around 300 ft north. It's a very small wreck and a couple of laps will be enough. Divers should also enjoy the different engine blocks that are places in between the Jay Scutti and the Pride.
Typical conditions
Conditions are usually good in this site. Although currents can be strong and make it impossible to visit if divers are planning to swim from the Jay Scutti. Visibility tends to be 50 ft and above.
Wreck history
The Pride, also known as the Harbour Towne, is a 95-foot sailboat that was intentionally sunk as part of Broward County’s artificial reef program.
Unlike the Jay Scutti, which has a colorful backstory involving drug smuggling and a dramatic sinking by dynamite, the Pride has a quieter origin. It was likely decommissioned and donated for reefing without much fanfare. Its alternate name, Harbour Towne, suggests it may have been associated with the Harbour Towne Marina or a local donor. While its exact sinking date isn’t widely documented, it’s been part of the underwater landscape for decades, contributing to marine habitat and recreational diving.
