There's no reason to assume they are, as a rule, larger and more powerful than their land and air-dwelling counterparts. Considering their usual terrain, however, they are comparatively more powerful. Or at least, have an easier time killing people.

In the sea, you have less maneuverability while handling the ship due to multiple factors. Speed depends on where the wind is blowing to, and aiming is somewhat more difficult. And if the Grimm is a submarine, you're done.

And when it comes to you fighting personally, unless the Grimm get on-board, you can't do more than shoot and move, and if you end up out of the ship due to a bad move or from being hit, unless you manage to get on-board quickly or are a dolphin, you'll be easy prey.

Overall, it's just more difficult to fight at sea than at land.

And then we have the Sea Dragon, which, for starters, wasn't only quick and agile, but could fly and shoot kamehamehas. Until it got pierced by the ship to be kept in place, it could evade all the cannon's shots without watching.

So let's say that the Sea Dragon is the standard for Boss-level Sea Grimm. Now, they had a fancy trip to Polystralia in V4, so it's fair to say they barely attracted Ao Kuang. But let's say they had tons of negativity instead. How many Ao Kuangs, or similars, would have attacked them? Even with just 1 more, they would've been done.

So in the end, maybe they are not more powerful per se, but due to the terrain advantage, Sea Grimm are definitely more dangerous than at least most Land Grimm and at least some can easily compete with Air Grimm in the danger department.
