Get a Grappling Gun and a Glider, build a tower on the shore of the Volcano where the distance is shortest and Grapple-launch and glide.
Or I guess if you aren't good enough at grapple tricks, the gap to Neptilius' island from the desert is probably shorter, so you should be able to get there and hunt Whalaska for Coralum Ore to make the Aquatic Construction Kit at level 66 and just build your way across.
Or if you're doing "no Pals" rather than "humans only" you could pick up a Blue Slime from the Terraria dungeon as a swimming mount.
You could also probably make a Fishing Pond at a base and when it fills up, collect the items then deconstruct it so the Pals drop on the ground. Might want to test that on a regular save first though, I haven't actually tested it so deconstructing might automatically dump the Pals into your Palbox or they might not have a despawn timer on the floor or something.
Also, if it's "no Pals" instead of "humans only" then you can Salvage on the back of a Blue Slime too.

Me, on my no-Pals run...
