@Edgar I have spoken to a sailor friend and he has never heard of the term. His guess is that it might mean "seaworthy". However I suggest that you consult an expert in the field.
You may find some clues here.

Could it mean 'in and out of the water'?
I agree that we need proper context.

@ Edgar I think there could be a multitude of options here, but making a good choice would depend on your precise context. Could you post a bit of surrounding text please?

in land or sea

Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : 'In land' is not grammatical, and it might not be sea. It could be a river or canal.

agree Charles R. Castleberry : the competition abounds (warfreakeans) and an "in water" suggestion costs not a penny. "In land or sea" can be classic and poetic for broader uses

dry and out of the water

I concur with the colleagues who said that more context is needed.

My translation is based on feedback from Copilot:

seco e nado: It can describe something as being outside of water or a moist place. For example, swimming “em seco” (in dryness) is impossible.

Example Sentences

Yet, 1/2 the ship remains dry and out of the water.
