I hadn’t heard either of these albums, so I searched the web and discovered that Björn at AmbientExotica reviewed both and also mentions Love Tide by Nelson Riddle. You might check out that one:

Since you’re also a Disney fan, you might already know about this one: Another lush album (though not “ocean-centric” like the two you mention) is George Bruns’ Moonlight Time in Old Hawaii.

And perhaps you might consider Jackie Gleason, whose music was incredibly plush. While the songs are all Great American Songbook standards, his The Torch with the Blue Flame LP is smooth and chock full of vibes and marimbas.
