What kind of boat would one need to travel across an ocean?

I know little to nothing about boats.

But I am very interested in them and have taken hobby to studying them recently. What I could not find, anywhere on the world wide web, is what kind of boat (as specific as possible) one would need to travel across an ocean.



I mean for personal use, (not a cruise ship), for anywhere around 5-15 people. If you know of several types, that would be helpful as well!
