How many hours from North Carolina to Bermuda by ship?

Answer 1

It depends on the speed of the ship, and whether it takes the shortest route. Assuming a vessel moving at a constant 9 knots, from Cape Hatteras to Bermuda (and ignoring the time taken to put to sea, and that needed to get in through the reefs to harbour from the open ocean), then....the distance being 561.8 nautical miles...it would take 62.42 hours (or 2 days, 14 hours, if you prefer). 9 knots is a bit slow, though. The cruise liner Horizon, which used to visit Bermuda for Celebrity Cruises, can do 21 knots. Assuming you were to hold that speed for the entire journey, then the same crossing would take 26.75 hours (or one day, two hours and 45 minutes, if you prefer). If, on the other hand, you were using a Vosper Brave class patrol boat, capable of 52 knots, and held that speed the entire way without blowing a gasket, then the journey would take 10.80 hours (or 10 hours, 48 minutes).

Answer 2

it takes about 1 hour and thirty minutes
