Just a quick one..
I bought XI Galleon Pirate Ship, and I was wondering if someone could recommend a vast ocean environment, please.

These 2 might do:

I have the second one an the first is on my wishlist.

I have all of them.
Just remembered something a bit different - https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/82773/underwater-hdri . It's a freebie underwater HDRI for when your Pirate Ship sinks and gets infested with mer-people.
And this may be of use: https://www.daz3d.com/li-elemental-dynamics--sand-and-water

If you just need a big plane of water, there is this freebie:

My preference is https://www.daz3d.com/muelsfell-vast-ocean-modular-set
with decals for boat-wake and whitecaps when necessary added from https://www.daz3d.com/da-big-ocean
I also have these, which I find less realistic for my purposes:
https://www.daz3d.com/ireal-animated-ocean-water-system
https://www.daz3d.com/iray-oceanworx
I think all the above are usable for calm seas at small scale (fairly close-up), but are less convincing for rougher seas or larger scales. The Muelsfell set has a lot of options to help you increase realism.
Another possibility, which I've not explored for this purpose, is https://www.daz3d.com/ultrascenery2-realistic-landscape-system
There's a free one by shredder out there
I have Oceanworx and it works pretty well. I don't have the other but I like the name. Describing where all your aquatic adventures occur...yeah in DA BIG OCEAN!
