Sea water is mostly water, do you doubt that it dehydrates you?
Salt water extracts water from you because your liver can't process water that salty. So yes you would end up urinating more than you drink. If the same were true for coffee, you'd likely be told to stop drinking it or there'd be heavy recommendations to increase your normal water intake to counter the loss. Technically you could drink salt water as long as you supplement with much more regular water (ignoring the horrifically increased salt intake).
Salt water vs caffeine have very different mechanisms.
