Maybe not quite the situation you are thinking of but going back to the eighties I had a friend who used a Metz CT4 with a proper Metz fresnel snoot, he used it for photographing owls at night and had considerable success, several images published. His camera/lens was a Canon SLR with an f/8 500mm mirror lens.

I'm also aware of someone who uses a similar fresnel flash with a 500mm Nikkor tele lens for ducks and the like, the camera is mounted on a punt like flat bottomed boat with silent electric propulsion. He uses it on lakes, not the sea.
