And since the US Territorial Waters only extend 12 nautical miles, the island's territorial waters do not border with any other country. The US Virgin Islands are about 50 miles to the East of the Puerto Rican coastline. Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are both territories if the United States so there is no national border there even in the territorial waters they share. The US Virgin Island's territorial Waters border the British Virgin Islands Territorial waters. That would be the nearest international boundary to Puerto Rico.
