The correct quotation is:

I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far

As that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea,

I would adventure for such merchandise.

It is wrong to substitute "you" for "I" when quoting. It makes your quotation inaccurate and difficult to understand.

What he is saying is the same as if he were to say "I'm not an astronaut, but if you were on the moon, I'd take the next rocket there to be with you." It is a hyperbole which is an exaggeration.

Also the phrase "such merchandise" refers to Juliet. He likens himself to a trader who would make a long voyage for precious cargo, and Juliet is the cargo or "merchandise". This is a metaphor.
