(Edit: Port Tyras is already on the list of ports)
Also, why not add some elements from sailing in the real world? While sailing there could be a wind direction which changes periodically, and you have to adjust your sails accordingly for the best experience (and possibly a speed boost). You could also do tacking/gybing, but I'm not really sure how that would work. People who've done more sailing than me probably have more suggestions.
I also really liked Rudy V2's idea about having upgradeable NPC crew members (p. 5). I had a lot of fun upgrading followers with RS3's Burgh de Rott Ramble/Temple Trekking, and having a large boat without a crew doesn't really make sense anyway.
Shipbuilding granting experience is a bit strange. You're paying people and giving them materials, but you don't actually do anything by the sounds of it - why should you get experience for other people building a ship? I think that the player should be actively involved in building the ship somehow if it's going to give experience.
As a lot of other people have mentioned, there should be some new fishing content with Sailing. You could add some Sailing aspects and experience to the Fishing Trawler and add rewards such as nets for your boat and special types of bait for high-level fish that could only be caught while sailing.
The skill sounds pretty interesting overall; keep it up!
As an aside, I think you should add extra dialogue to The Tourist Trap if you have a high Sailing level
