Thank you. This example link you have provided has charters to the Chandeleur Islands, and as noted by 11frogs, they all leave at 12:01AM. If you read the schedules, it looks like it takes 4-5 hours to get to the islands by boat from Biloxi. Then on the last day, they leave the islands at "sunset" to arrive back in Biloxi at 12:01-1:00AM, and guests sleep on the boat at the dock, checkout at 8:00AM - which is another confirmation that this is a long boat ride back and forth. No one goes out that far to fish one afternoon and then return each evening to a hotel to go back out the next day.
This particular fishing trip to the Chandeleur Islands (also known as the Breton National Wildlife Reserve and considered to be the far eastern edge of Louisiana) is what BB referred to as on his "bucket list".
It was MT who mentioned a
vendor:

GRACE: Well, the mother-in-law is with me. [MT] is with us, who is handling an incredible burden right now, with the [family]. [MT], thank you for being with us. We believe the husband was out on a fishing trip in Mississippi, isn`t that correct?
[MT]: That is correct. This has been planned. He`s done this for about three years in a row. He`s done it every year and looks forward to it. They were actually delayed one day but they went ahead and went because of the weather and the ocean, wherever they were going.
GRACE: Was it one of those
charter boats?
[MT]:
It is a charter boat, but I`m just not sure who it was.
It was one of our vendors that had you know.
