When I took my Rhodes22 it took about 12 hours give or take. It really depends on how much you want to sail it vs. motor.

Susan,
In a Rhodes 22?
In our 26 foot center console Robalo with twin 300 Mercury's, it took less than an hour;)
It is roughly 45 miles west of Miami.
With the Gulf Stream, the route will be slightly longer--~65 miles. We will have to leave further south in order to compensate for the strong push north. I'm thinking we might leave around Key Largo.
Cheers,
Ted
