I remember the first time I played Mario Sunshine I couldn't imagine water effects getting better than that. Obviously they did,. I was also really impressed at the time by the water in the one tropical level in Rogue Leader and the way the AT-ATs were reflected in it. There's something I still find appealing about high-end water effects from the 6th gen even if they no longer look so realistic.
7th gen Bioshock was the game that really blew me away with its water effects. But after that I stopped being so impressed with water in games.
Current gen: of the games I've played the best water effects are probably from The Witcher 3. But I'm sure there have been others with better water since then.
