About 50 meters. 30 seconds walk or 10 seconds on my lawnmover. No paddeling or rowing. Straight out in open water.
1.2 miles by car, usually about 7 minutes, and then ~450 ft from the parking lot to the slip, plus 30 min out the harbor to open water, but we often raise sails about 2/3 of the way out and sail out of the harbor if the wind isn't on the bow.
Growing up in Indiana I drove about 65 miles / 1 hour 20 min (country roads) to get to the family lake house to go out on the ski boat.

I currently drive 1 hour 20 minutes to get to my boat in Warwick, Rhode Island from central Connecticut. We go to the boat almost every weekend, rain or shine in the spring/summer/fall, just for the peace and relaxation and to sail, weather permitting. If I had to drive more than 3 hours, I would sell the house and buy a bigger boat! Still trying to convince the wife to do it anyway.
225 miles from White Bear Lake to Bayfield. Driving time is about 3.5 hours. Worth every second too.
In Kemah Texas - 25 miles all year. In Pentwater Michigan I walk out the door get in the dinghy and row to the mooring for 4 months.
My boat is about 90 miles north of Santa Fe at Heron Lake - I take my time and have special little stops along the way. Time about 2 hours .... I get to drive by spectacular landscapes along the way
About 20 minutes or 15 miles. Each drive to the boat is well worth the trip. Great marina facility and restaurant in the parking lot
