A sea story is a work in which the ocean is the primary setting. Most sea stories focus on the crew of specific ship or set of ships, though some stories also depict stationary sea platforms, or [[DesertedIsland deserted islands]]. Fantasy stories may have underwater realms, such as an UnderwaterCity or an UnderwaterBase.

Most sea stories focus on the crew of specific ship or set of ships, though some stories also depict stationary sea platforms, underwater bases, or [[DesertedIsland deserted islands]]. Fantasy stories may have underwater realms. Setting a story at sea adds an element of the exotic and adventurous to a story, as the crew sails to [[PortTown new port towns]]. The [[ClosedCircle enclosed setting of life aboard a ship]] also allows an author to portray a social world in miniature, with characters cut off from the outside world and forced into [[TheAntagonist conflict by the cramped and stressful conditions]]. Another type of conflict is the [[NatureIsNotNice crew versus harsh, unforgiving nature]], when they battle [[GiantWallOfWateryDoom fierce storms]] or [[SeaMonster sea creatures]].
