My advice is to start with a manageable boat that you won't lose too much if you don't like it. It sounds as if you have no experience, so it is possible you will find it not to your liking.

I found that as a surfcaster, it was all about the fishing as there is little to concern yourself with the beach. Of course basic precautions, but the beach is a relatively safe place. Once I got a boat, it was a transition time as boating is now the primary activity and fishing secondary. I mean that safety, operation, maintenance, positioning in the current, maneuvering all are required before you can even begin to fish. It took me some time to develop the skill and confidence.

Start with a manageable boat, and practice. Nothing beats experience.
