<\/span><\/h3>\nA sailboat averaging six knots will take roughly seventeen days to make this trip. It's a trans-equatorial route, so you'll be passing through light air near the equator, which can be slow and may take some motoring. It's a little over 2,500 miles, taking between 10 and 20 days, depending on your speed.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How far is Tahiti from California by boat?<\/span><\/h3>\nThe rhumb line distance is almost 3,600 miles, but odds are high you won't be able to sail on the rhumb line
.Average sailing time between Tahiti and California.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How long does it take to sail from Los Angeles to Fiji?<\/span><\/h3>\nLos Angeles to Fiji: 4817 nautical miles\/20 days 02 hours.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Can you sail from California to New Zealand?<\/span><\/h3>\nYou can sail directly to New Zealand from California or stop along the way in Hawaii, Fiji, or other locations. The shortest distance is 6,800 miles (5,040 nautical miles) and usually takes between 26 and 50 days.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Can you sail from Hawaii to New Zealand?<\/span><\/h3>\nThe distance from Hawaii (the "Big Island") to Opua, New Zealand is about 3,700 nautical miles (nm) on a great circle route. Most will not sail this route directly, but if you tried it, based on an average speed of six knots, it would take you about 26 days.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Can a superyacht cross the Pacific?<\/span><\/h3>\nBoth the Pacific and Atlantic oceans can be crossed in a yacht. You can cross the Pacific and Atlantic oceans on a sailing yacht or a motor yacht. It would be best to have a big enough tank to hold the amount of fuel you expect to burn. This being said, not all yachts are capable of making these trips.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Why don t we fly over the Pacific ocean?<\/span><\/h3>\nWeather Patterns. Most flights are planned to minimize the time spent over bodies of water, since storms are more likely to occur over water than land. The weather over the Pacific Ocean is often turbulent, and there are many thunderstorms in parts of the Pacific, so it's not a safe environment to fly a plane.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Can super yachts handle rough seas?<\/span><\/h3>\nThe short answer is 'yes', however, this might not reassure the underlying concern of what it takes to damage a vessel to such an extent that the crew and guests are in danger, and a more in-depth look at the situation is required.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How big of a boat do you need to cross the Pacific ocean?<\/span><\/h3>\nHow big of a boat to cross the Pacific? You need a boat that is at least 30 ft long to cross the Pacific, but it is much wiser to choose one that is at least 40 ft long. You need a boat this big because it needs to be seaworthy, have sufficient storage, and provide enough comfort for your journey.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Can you sail across the Pacific alone?<\/span><\/h3>\nYou can sail across the Pacific with a properly-sized sailboat (30 to 50 feet in length), an experienced helper or two, and a well-planned itinerary.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Can a Sunseeker cross the Atlantic?<\/span><\/h3>\nA 66' Sunseeker can handle 10-12' seas but I don't know anyone who would like to be on one for more than a very short time in such seas. Crossing the Atlantic you could hit 20' seas or even 30' or greater. Unlikely, but highly likely you'll see some days with seas over 10'.<\/p>\n
