The Skye Cliffe is 320 foot long wreck and lies upright in 200 feet of water, just outside the Boynton inlet. Soft coral is starting to blanket this wreck and schools of Jacks circle it providing a great visual treat.

The ship originally ran aground in Jamaica, and was purchased by Resolve Marine Group to be towed to Florida for cleaning and its ultimate sinking in 1991. It lies just outside the Boynton inlet pointing slightly east of north-south.

**Please note the center closes at 4:00PM. There are park Rangers on the grounds patrolling. This is a sensitive area and violators will be handled appropriately**
