Regardless of what you end up choosing it would be helpful to remember that stainless does not mean rustless. Any intrusion by salt water or sea air will set up conditions for rusting. Even if your ZipLock seems intact all it takes is a little bit of salt to mess up the gun's finish.
When you come home and clean your gun after a day's outing I would suggest that you use the hot water method, similar to the way the black powder guys clean their guns. A full disassembly, cylinder included, followed with good flush with very hot water will clear out any salt or salt water, and will heat the metal up to the point where left over water (in the nooks and crannies) will evaporate off. Lubricate and oil after the gun has dried.
For a revolver you may want to hit the firing pin channel with a shot of WD40 to clear out any remaining water, then brake cleaner to clear out the WD40.
If you go the black powder cleaning route, then I'd ad an air compressor to that is well. Hot soapy water, air compressor blow out, WD-40, air compressor air compressor blow out, then lube as normal.
It seems we've had a discussion on guns while kayaking in the past, but I can't quite find it now. Here are a couple of threads on guns when boating/fishing though.
How about one of the earlier Glocks, where they still used the nitride/Tenifer treatment on the slides? Tenifer makes for a very abrasion and corrosion-resistent surface, and obviously the polymer frame is completely impervious to water and corrosion.
Also, unlike a revolver, Glocks are extremely easy to completely disassemble and reassemble, meaning they can frequently be internally inspected,cleaned and re-lubed.
An old beater Glock can be found pretty cheap on the used sites like Armslist,
and places like AIM often have police trade-ins pretty inexpensively.

That sounds like a good choice. I always forget about that one. Maybe it's a cargo pocket sized gun?
