Well that all depends on where you are going and where you are starting from. However the canal is 50 miles long and it could take anywhere from 8 to 10 hours, depending on the boat size.

The Panama Canal.
Panama Canal
The Panama canal, as its name suggests is in Panama. The direction of travel on the canal is NW to SE.
The Pacific Ocean end of the Panama Canal is located on the western side near Panama City. The canal allows ships to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean (or vice versa) by passing through a series of locks and channels.
The Panama Canal was built by digging out a large trench in Panama for boats to travel through. This ditch-like trench would be supported by many locks.

the Panama Canal is a manmade pathway through the country Panama in Central America that is a shortcut to the Atlantic Ocean from the Pacific and vise versa. It was originally created for naval purposes but has since been used for cargo and travel.
Ships passing through the Panama Canal must traverse a total of three sets of locks: the Miraflores locks, the Pedro Miguel locks, and the Gatun locks. This journey takes ships from Balboa on the Pacific Ocean side to Colon on the Atlantic Ocean side.
