Sea is defined as:

1b. A tract of water within an ocean

1c. A relatively large body of salt water completely or partially enclosed by land

1d. A relatively large land-locked body of fresh water.

Ocean is defined as:

1. The entire body of salt water that covers more than 70% of the earth

2. Any of the principal divisions of the ocean, including the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans, their southern extensions in Antarctica, and the Arctic Ocean.

So basically, the ocean and its oceans are a whole lot larger, and are not partially or completely enclosed by land--they lie between the continents And a Gulf is:

1. A large area of a sea or ocean partially enclosed by land, especially a long landlocked portion of sea opening through a strait.
