An ocean going boat isn't for a beginner. I'd stick to a car. :)
A sailing boat is tricky to manage solo, if you're on your own, I'd steer clear.
A small one person boat like a Laser is a great beginner boat and isn’t too tricky once you know what you are doing. Might need some help getting it in and out of the water, but they are very popular near me.
Is it ocean going if you only stick to near-shore? And maybe close to shore islands, too
Ocean wave action isn't for first timers:

Eh, a car doesn't do too well on the ocean.
