I want to know how long (time) it will take me to travel a nautical mile (distance) at different knots (speed).

Netpas distance table is exactly the thing you are looking for. You need to download and install the program.But you need net connection to use. Trial version is free (you can get 5 distances per day) You can find almost all ports.

Go to a marine supply store or online and get what is called a "nautical slide rule", its a time speed and distance calculator. The best one is made by Weems and Plath. When you have any 2 factors the 3rd will be shown on the wheel. Its the best tool for navigation.

At 1 knot you will travel 1 nautical mile in 1 hour.
After that, its a simple matter of division!
Distance in nautical miles divided by knots of speed will be the time it takes....
