Without looking at our charts, I recall it being about 20 to 25 miles, depending upon where you go. Block Island is about half way, at around 12 miles from Newport RI.

Looking at my chart software it says
Newport to BI is 23 NM
BI to Shelter Island 32 .
Currents will make a big difference in terms of time.
