Any tips for the water texture? Is it too bumpy?

Looks fine to me, though the distant portion looks a bit glass-like. 
But, I'm not sure how to handle that one (isosurface?)

You can use a fuly transmiting plane with an interior that use fade_color,
fade_distance and 
fade_power to give it colour. Use variable reflection with the fresnel attribute.
Place a plane some 
distance under the surface to make the bottom, plane that can have some texture. You
may want tu 
have some fake caustics. In this case, using photons would probably be a waste of
time.
As for the bumpyness, maybe to much, maybe just right, maby not enough... it all
depend the wind 
conditions, navigation, waves reflections, deepness,... Finaly, it's up to you and
your taste.

Thanks for the comment.

Just a plane.

I'm using variable reflection and a plane under the water.
Maybe I'll try the fade_ options.

Thanks for the tips.

I like the normal, but the water is a bit too reflective for my taste 
(especially in the background). Chris Hormann wrote an excellent 
tutorial on how to create realistic water with POV-Ray:

HTH,
