If a boat goes 22 knots, how fast is that?

Question

I'm going on a cruise, and it said the speed of the ship was 22 knots. How fast is that? (possibly in mph)

Answer 1

Well it is going 22 knots, so that is one measure of speed.

In MPH, that is 22 times 1.15 which is:

25.3 mph

Cruise ship? Really? The cruises I have been on were between 11 and 14 knots. Yes, I am a geek and had my handheld GPS with me.

Answer 2

Multiply knots by 1.17 to get Miles per hour.  22 knots is a bit over 25 MPH.

Answer 3

25.17148 miles per/hour

Answer 4

On a ship, you wouldn't even feel the speed.  It is relative!  If you sit on a train for example and you look beside you at another train, you FEEL like you are moving when in fact the other train is moving.  The ship is SO BIG, that there would be no sense of motion unless you looked over the railing and saw waves being made beside and behind you.  OR if another ship were right beside you - which wouldn't happen.  Below deck or away from the outside - you will feel like you are in a hotel.

Answer 14

25.3MPH

Answer 15

Well in reality depends how your measuring it. It might read 22knots on the speedo but you might be actually traveling faster or slower depending on the current. To measure it properly use a GPS if you have not already done so.

Example:

Speedo = 22knts

Current in opposite direction 5knts

Then in reality your only doing 17knts
