Not really.  Enterprising PCs can take a spelljamming galleon from Waterdeep, 
land in Shou Lung in a day, load up with silks and porcelain, and sell those 
same silks and porcelain in Waterdeep the next day.  Using that profit, they 
can land in Malatra for spices and gemstones, the next day, return and sell.  
In Zakhara on the fifth day to load dyes and coffee, and sell on the sixth.  
Drop in to Maztica to load gold dust and cacao, bypass Waterdeep to land in 
Suzail, and sell.  In eight days, they will have made substantial profits, on 
trips that would take ordinary merchants MONTHS.  If they don't undercut anyone 
the first few trips, their profits will be ENORMOUS.  Consider that the one ship 
that sailed with Magellan came home loaded with spices, and paid for the 
entire voyage--and he started with five ships!
