Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Distance: ~1,000 nautical miles (Florida Keys → San Juan). Time varies radically by vessel:
| Vessel Type | Typical Time | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Cruise Ship | 7 nights (round-trip 7–8 days) | Standard itinerary: Port Canaveral/Ft. Lauderdale/Miami → San Juan (1 sea day each way + port day) |
| Fast Ferry (hypothetical) | ~18–24 hrs | No regular service; would require 40+ knot vessel |
| Private Power Yacht (30–40 kt) | 24–36 hrs | Weather-dependent; fuel range critical |
| Sailing Yacht (6–8 kt) | 5–7 days | Trade winds favorable; watch for squalls, Bahamas clearance |
| Jet Ski (expert, supported) | ~17 hrs | Extreme endurance; record attempts only; not recreational |
| Cargo/Container Ship | 3–5 days | Freighter travel (book via agents like Maris, ARA) |
For tourists: cruise or fly (2.5 hrs from Miami). For mariners: plan conservatively.
