The solvent of sea water is obviously water and the solute is salt...
Water is a very powerful SOLVENT. It will dissolve SALT ( sodium chloride) , the SOLUTE. When the solute is dissolved in the solvent it is called a SOLUTION. Sea water is a solution of salts and water. The principal salt is sodium chloride, however, there are plenty of other salts dissolved in sea-water, viz. sodium bromide, potassium chloride, potassium iodide, calcium carbonate. Also carbon dioxide dissolves in sea-water. These are just a few of the solutes in the solution named sea-water.
Water is the Universal solvent
When soap is added to water, water is the solvent
Water vapor would be the solvent. Water alone is a good solvent.
The solvent in sea water is water.
Sea water is a complex solution.
It is a corrosive.

The pure water is the solvent and the minerals, salts that dissolved in the water (to make salt water) are called the solute. I assumed you were talking about sea/salt water? If you are talking about common salt dissolved in water the the salt is the solute and the water is the solvent.
The solvent is the pure water.
