So there really aren't any specific requirements anywhere for private pilots
not operating for hire in small GA aircraft over water?


The only thing I could really find is that there are a LOT of
wildlife refuges around coastal areas.

Other than that, the fuel requirements will probably take hold.
You must carry enough fuel to arrive at your planned destination
and then beyond that for another half-hour (in VFR conditions in
daytime). If your destination is the middle of the ocean, I guess
you're probably covered.
