Telecscope / spotting scope spec recommendations please ?

[Blacknorange]

I'm moving to an apartment that looks down the river and out to sea. I'd like to get a tabletop telescope or spotting scope  to spot docked ships and those out to 8 to 10nm.
I'd prefer not to use binoculars.
Can anyone recommend specifications and / or models please ?

If you want to spend money a good zoom lens 600 is better than a Telescope-Also you can put it on a tripod
