Aguilar started at a Bimini Island called Cat Cay, she said, leaving shortly before 10 p.m. on Monday. The 23-year-old arrived at Dania Beach Tuesday afternoon.
She paddled the whole way on a 12-foot paddleboard using her arms and followed by a tiny boat, Aguilar said.
Her mission was to raise money for Care Resource, an HIV and AIDS organization serving Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
The team has raised close to $900.
"It's something, better than nothing. If it helps one person, it will make a difference," Aguilar said.
Anyone interested in donating still can do so at www.aidswalkmiami.org, then find team Bimini Challenge.
