Answer by CB
Well the only Punta Eugenia, Mexico I can find using Google maps is a boulevard in Ensenada. Assuming that Punta Eugenia is in the vicinity that means you want to travel about 50 miles into Mexico. Assuming favorable winds, of suitable velocity and direction, and a hull speed on a 31 foot boat somewhere around 7 knots. If the wind blows strong enough to let you do 5 miles per hour it will get you there in about 10 hours. If the wind is light and you can only do 1mph it could take you 50 hours. That’s more than two days. Normally when the winds are that light though you would either drop the sails and use the engine or at least start the engine and motorsail the boat to your destination.

It would probably take about a month, since you would have to go through the Panama Canal.
Its approx 5000 miles. Depending on how fast you go, actually it might actually take you a lot longer than a month.
It would be faster to have it shipped by truck

Question: How long would it take to yacht from Seattle to Los Angeles?
Assuming modern power yacht.
Answer:
Answer by Capt. John
Your ETA will be 83 hours and 8 minutes
from a heading from Seattle at
Latitude: 47° 38′ North
Longitude: 122° 20′ West
To a heading at Los Angeles at
Latitude: 34° 05′ North
Longitude: 118° 22′ West
The navigatable coastline distance is 832 Nautical Miles…
Experienced sailors would estimate a ETA of 70 to 100 hours actual cruising time.
83 hours crusing time would be a good estimate based on an average speed of an average powered sea worthy vessel.
The 70 to 100 hour window is based on:
the fact that I have no earthly idea of what your version of a “modern power yacht” is…
and also your cruise time can be greatly affected by weather…
You will also be cruising against the flow of El Ninyo,
And of course the type or kind of “power yacht” can easily make a 30 hour (or more) difference in your cruising hours.
Example: Is your modern power yacht really a “yacht” or is it a trawler? (slow) Or is it a Cruiser? (medium speed) Or is it a Figment OTM PassageMaker? (those things can be faster than speeding bullets)…
El Ninyo’s current (which runs the coast line) will be against you all the way – unless you go out to sea and around it…
Happy & Safe Boating!
PS. The above is based on an average seaworhty power vessel… Not a “yacht”…. a true yacht is 50′ LWL minimum, extremely heavy, extremely and luxuriously appointed, and extremely expensive. Even a small 50 foot yacht (and that is small for a yacht) would cost at least $ 2.5 million, and would make that trip in one day. It also (at todays prices) would run through about $ 40,000 of fuel.
Question: Do I need a license to operate a sailboat under 40 feet long?
I want to rent/charter a 30-39 foot sailboat and eventually own one for myself. What licenses/certifications do I need?
I live in Washington state. Also, even if I do not need a license for my own boat, do I need one to charter a boat?
Answer:
Answer by Dave J
Depends on where you’re gonna sail it. Some states require different things. Alabama requires a boating license to drive a jet ski. Fortunately the test is really easy.
You probably should check with local authorities.
