In addition to specific heat what causes the average temperatures of land and water at the same latitude to vary?

Land absorbs heat from the sun, ie radiant heat, more than water does, but in the absence of hot sunshine it cools more quickly. So inland areas heat more in summer but get colder in winter, whilst the oceans don't vary so much.

Other factors such as elevation, wind currents and nearby areas of water tend to be most significant in determining climate. For example, since California is bordering the Pacific Ocean, it's climate will be a whole lot different than somewhere in Oklahoma of the same latitude (and both of those will be different than somewhere in the North Carolina mountains at the same latitude).

What is the average temperature in March on a Transatlantic cruise from Florida to Portugal?
It's important to know the route, and the stops, for the cruise. For the sea surface temperatures vary depending upon where the traveler is in the Atlantic Ocean. The coordinates for Florida are 28 degrees North 81.5 degrees West. At 20-30 degrees Noth latitude, temperatures tend to be 75 degrees in March. The coordinates for Portugal are 38 degrees 42 minutes North 9 degrees 11 minutes West. At 30-35 degrees North latitude, temperatures tend to average at 65 degrees. At 35-40 degrees North latitude, temperatures tend to shift quickly from 65 to 60 to 55degrees. And at 40-45 degrees North latitude, temperatures tend to shift quickly from 55 to 40 to 35 degrees.
How does latitude affect climates on Earth?
In general, the climatic zone is determined by the latitude. The rule is that the farthest you go from the equator (the largest the latitude) the colder it gets. The rainfall near the equator is largest. In the subtropical zones the rainfall is smaller. In the intermediate zones the rainfall is large again. Please see the links for more details.
