some aircraft have a stated flight over water speed
this is not a speed that you should fly over water at, it is the speed at which the regulations use for calculating the 30 minute distance. Beyond 30 minutes a different level of survival equipment needs to be carried for public transport multi engine operations.

don't be concerned that you must fly a given number of knots faster/slower simply because you are over water.
