Lenses: Something to the wide side probably. I'm guessing a 35mm would do nicely.

Can't think of any filters you'd really need...

Probably a wide angle lens, depending on the composition. Possibly a graduated neutral density filter to balance sky and sea brightness levels.

and the city lights of a night time?

On the lens, it totally depends on the composition, how far away it will be shot from, etc. No filters are necessary at night. If you want an exaggerated star effect, you could use a filter for that.
