Many languages and cultures see the ocean as feminine, including English. A lot of this is because the ocean is a mysterious thing that could change at a moment's notice--and both of those things are common stereotypes for women. There tend to be additional reasons that are culture-specific, but generally, look at common stereotypes for women and you can apply them to the ocean (and sailors were seen as being "married to the sea").
