I don't know of any that to overnighers on the rigs from Venice or Fouchon simply because the rigs and deep water are relativly close in. There are several charters out of both locations that do day trips. There are several "fish camps" (disposable hotel space, not much survives a 'cane down there) where you can hang out between dive boat runs and cleaning fish.

This guy is highly recommended: Try Troy Wetzell - Extreme Charters. I believe he is out of Venice at the end of hwy 23.
