Shoes which won't be ruined by water (don't wear sandals). It's useful to have a small towel to wipe your hands off with. Bring a camera, too. Motion sickness pills (take before the boat leaves), unless you've been on the ocean before and know you don't have a problem with seasickness. Food and drinks will be on sale on the boat, or you can bring a sack lunch. (Party boats don't allow you to bring coolers.) Some operations have regulations about bringing drinks aboard, but a bottle of water should be no problem. You should also bring money to tip the crew (assuming you have a good time), pay for food, and for fish cleaning. As far as fishing tackle, that will vary with where you're fishing and what you're fishing for. You can generally rent it at the landing. Same with the bait and hooks and sinkers. Check with the boat or landing for details -- most of them have websites, and get to the landing well before departure so you can ask questions and buy whatever is needed. As for specific fishing questions out on the boat, ask the crew.
