Half Moon

The Half Moon is a captivating snorkeling destination located within the Florida State Underwater Archaeological Preserve. This site features the remains of a 154-foot steel sailing yacht, originally built in Germany in 1908. The vessel, which later served as a floating restaurant and casino, met its watery fate in 1930. Today, it rests in just 10-12 feet of water, making it an ideal spot for snorkelers and shallow divers to explore. The wreck is teeming with marine life, offering a unique glimpse into both history and the vibrant underwater ecosystem of Miami. As you glide over the remains of the Half Moon, you'll be treated to views of colorful fish darting among the corroded steel structures, providing a fascinating juxtaposition of nature reclaiming a piece of human history.
