The Santa Rita is a 200-foot steel freighter that was sunk in 1976 and now lies in 245 feet of water off Miami-Dade County. With 25 feet of relief, the wreck provides critical structure for deepwater species such as snowy grouper, tilefish, amberjack, and mutton snapper. This site is favored by anglers equipped with deep drop setups and sonar, offering high reward for those who can fish it properly. The Santa Rita is a well-known deep wreck among locals and continues to hold quality fish throughout the year.
