AMROTH- this one is tenuous. Amroth set foot on a ship, at least, though he didn't exactly voyage far...
AR-PHARAZÔN- descendant of Eärendil, the Mariner; had a fleet.
IDRIL- mother of Eärendil.
ELWING- wife of Eärendil.
???
ELESSAR- jewel worn by Eärendil; title of Aragorn II, another descendant.

Amroth sailed 'far out to see'; he counts. Ar-Pharazon had a big ship, Idril sailed to Valinor, and so did Elwing (though she started further out to sea). Aragorn sailed on Umbar in service to Ecthelion. All the characters are actual mariners, though only one of the remaining two was necessarily any good at it.

Are you just guessing sailors now? None of those.
In 1, you need to find two words that would fit into the ellipsis.
In 5, you're looking for someone
really known for their boat connection, but by an uncommon name of theirs. Spotting the straight clue might also help.
And both of them begin with their password letter.
