On a boat there is no time.
You would need a rough estimate of your distance. I usually figure 6 MPH (Not knots lol!). Most boats with a crew can go 24/7 so @ 6 MPH you will travel 144 miles per day on average. So, depending on where you start in New York and where you go in the Caribbean I going to estimate 1600 miles as I know you will be drinking and weaving all over the ocean. ;-)
So, 1600 miles / 144 miles per day = 11.11 days
We will say 12 days, all that drinking you will need to stop and pee now and then.
Now, we brought my brother's boat from the East Coast of Florida to Galveston Bay, Texas doing 6 knots average maybe (Gulf Stream killed our speed from 8 Knots per hour to 4 knots per hour) That took 10 days refueling 2 times. We did not need the second refuel, but, we play it safe.

Its approx 750 nautical miles from New York to Bermuda and another 875 from there to The Caribbean (Antigua etc).
Sailing vessels usually go via Bermuda and something around 10-12 mtrs length can make around 100 + nautical miles each day.

What type of boat? A sail boat travels at around 6 knots. A power boat can go much more quickly.

Is this a math question?
