Can you explain who exactly are these "highly paid workers who can get a tourist visa but not a work visa for the US"? If by "highly paid" you mean on the same level of typical US software engineer in CA, say $90K-$100K (and that's not highly paid in the valley) they I don't see how Blueseed can make money.
My question is: what is the value proposition of having a ship in international waters (you only consider the cost of buying the ship, but operating and maintaining it as well as insurance and health concerns would be huge expenses) other than having cheap (or, if you want, cheap-er) labor?
You are also assuming the workers can go to the Valley on a whim on tourist visas. For most internationals, e.g. Chinese and Indian, with single entry visas this is not possible.
