Ok so which part of that are you finding hard to understand? Is it the surface shader (i.e. the reflection/ displacement)? is it the boats particle trail, the splashes (Another particle effect I guess), the pseudo transparency (i.e. the whale)?

Which part are you having trouble with?

@sacredgeometry just the water not the effects i think it could be what you've mentioned the "surface shader" ! is that what makes the sea alive?! alt text

You need to write or use an animated water surface/ ocean shader. Unity has an ok one built in but for your game I think something more stylistic would fit it better.

Just a tip, it's all the same engine. You can put 3D items in "2D" games if you want.
