the scale here is somewhat deceiving
the oceans in 1.6 were on a cosmic scale, it's just tens of thousands of blocks of nothing but flat water
it's interesting in concept but offers nothing in practice
this map of the current version has a decently sized ocean and tons of rivers
because of real-world maps your brain is tricking you into think this isn't an ocean and is instead a small lake but this "lake" is over 4200 blocks wide and 3100 tall
it would take you almost 9 real-time minutes to sail from one end of this to the other
in my opinion that's big enough that it feels absolutely massive but isn't so big that it's borderline impassable
obviously there are bigger oceans, this is just one from a seed i used to play on
