I know I'm not the only one who thinks moving ships around the (largely vacant) ocean is a drag, so I offer this suggestion:
Make ocean tiles bigger than land tiles. That is, 1 sea tile = 4 land tiles. This would massively reduce the tedium, and also represent the speed of sea travel better.
Coastal sea tiles would end up being odd shapes, but I don't see that it matters much. That would just represent the difficulty of navigating around rugged coastlines.
Thoughts?
