This fleet is fairly simple, just destroy things with San Cristobal and get gold with La Monarca. There is no faster treasure runner without extra actions than this La Monarca and crew combination. When placing islands, try to put them as far apart as possible (5L is legal and good...two turns for La Monarca!) That will let you make the most of your blazing speed.

San Cristobal has both Castro and a reroller. Assuming you reroll every time, you will be going twice more than half of the time (55.56%). The cannons aren't the best, but the speed more than makes up for it. If there are imposing enemy gunships, place fog for your terrain and have San Cristobal sit in the fog. With a 3-6L range of movement, you can protect a fairly large territory. Also, seek out and destroy enemy runners. It might be worth losing the San Cristobal to get a valuable enemy runner after La Monarca's initial treasure run.

Sure Cristobal is fast (even faster the way you have her crewed) but her cannons are downright mediocre. What's the point of traveling all that distance to get the first shoot action if you're only going to be able to eliminate two or three masts? I would swap Miranda and Divers for Luis Zuan.
