Cyprus to Gaza by sea in an inflatable craft [closed]

First, I’m sorry to hear about the problems in Palestine area. I hope things work out soon.

This is a very interesting question. Here is my attempt to answer it.

Europe seeks to open Gaza sea route from Cyprus.

Your questions:

1. Is it possible to do 400 km with an inflatable boat and a 15 hp motor?

I think it is possible but it seems very risky and not sure about the safety in open waters there. 400 km seems like a very long travel in an inflatable boat with 15 hp motor.

2. How much fuel do I need considering there is just one passenger?

Like Flimzy commented it definitely depends on the efficiency of your motor, wind speed, ocean currents, and possibly other factors.

3. What speed can I go and how much time do I need to make this distance?

Boat with that power could do 35-40 km/h or approx. 25 mph or slight more with flat calm waters, light weight, no wind.

4. What kind of GPS guides I can use to do this trip?

There are many kinds of handheld GPS devise are available but depending on the short space that an inflatable boat has “The Garmin GPSMAP 62s” might be a good idea. “Garmin GPSMap 400” series is very good too with a large screen but not suitable for an inflatable boats I reckon. (Source)

Some general tips and faqs for using an inflatable boat.

Also take a look at this question it is quite related but the boat they are talking about is much smaller. Still a good read.
