The fastest sea vessel was not even a ship: it was a plane/boat hybrid called an ekranoplan that used the "ground effect" to keep the vessel above the water as it "flew" at an altitude of a few meters above the water. In effect, it was a seabound flying boat. The Russian-built vessel called the Caspian Sea Monster was a prototype that reached a test speed of 404 mph. Smaller versions have served with the Soviet Navy.
The fastest actual ships are hovercraft designs such as the Mountbatten class ferries, and their military counterparts that can travel up to 95 mph. The "official" speed record is somewhat lower, at about 86 mph.
