Do you have relfections on in the game opitions? also it depends on how good your video card is.The newer ones get that "reflective" look

Check your game options.  Also try turning on bumpmapping (boolprop bumpmapping on).  As y2krobie pointed out, only the newer cards will likely support this.  If you are running on a laptop with some cheeseball Intel video, it probably will not.

Have you a new video card ? Y2krobie have explained that only good cards can support this effect. If this option isn't allowed then see your card. ;)

And by the way a reflection upon ocean isn't very realistic, a calm montain lake ok but an ocean no... :p

Enable the reflective option ? It's on the game options (graphic ones). If it's not possible, try to find your graphic card name and see if it's a compatible one (cf. the readme of the game). :)
