At what scale would it be profitable? Retrofit a decent vessel as a sea-reefer, buy steak at the mainland, sail to HI, profit? No housing cost cause you’d live on your boat/ ship.

Free. He is mistaken.

Only mega corporations are somewhat free as long as they bribe politicians

But even they are not really free. Orgs are full of make work jobs from hr and legal to management just so to meet laws and quotas

All I'm gonna throw in there is that that's a long way in blue water. You're going to want a pretty big ship; the bigger the better as far as your safety is concerned. I mean you can paddle there in a canoe; it's just dangerous AF

Beef wouldn't be the most profitable thing to ship. There are cattle ranches on Hawaii.

Shipping is the most expensive way to move goods. Trains are the least expensive.

Yes, and it is much better than what I get on the mainland. Price is similar as well so there really isn't any great profit to be made. Send doctors instead, decent medical care is lacking.
