How long to sail from seattle to hawaii. Answer 1 of 3. The answer is fairly simple and possibly completely useless. I crewed on a 45 Beneteau First 45F from Victoria BC to Maui during the 2014 Vic-Maui race.

However note that this is done without making any stops and under calm sailing conditions. It takes between 2 - 3 weeks to sail to Hawaii. During the last Transpac race the fastest monohull made the crossing in 5 days and 2 hours.

The slowest boat a 48 sailing cruising took nearly 16 days. However the average recreational sailor cruising at the average speed will more likely take 14 days. Sail from Hawaii to Seattle.
