Open ocean is still a bad idea for lots of reasons, there’s little room for navigation equipment or food or water or emergency supplies or a way to dry off and get warm… But they seal up pretty well so you won’t sink and rolling upright is a pretty basic skill.
In time of crisis bikes are THE best transportation mode.
Nah , dirtbikes are. Fast, nimble, can go off road.
In a crisis, every bike is a dirtbike.
Yeah, canoe or kayak are also good choices. They are basically the bikes of the sea.
Don’t take a canoe or kayak out into blue water. They are really only useful in brown water.
Sea kayaks are a thing, one dude got from Germany to Australia in one in the 30s.
Huh, TIL. I wouldn’t want to be on a craft that small in the ocean.

Is there really much need to go more than a few miles from shore though?
Depends on your intended destination, I suppose.
