This is an Offshore fishing Rig

Im originally from Panama City and the boats you are refering too are party boats you can go half day or hole day or just charter the whole boat if your party is big enough they have to abide by the same regulations as we do now at one time they didnt. the reason they register commercial is so thier customers dont have to buy fishing licenes. I had my boat registerd the same way that way my friends from out of state didnt have to buy a license,
