Agreed with Swellpro. If you're going to do wet weather flying a lot, this is the only viable solution for the wet flyer moment. Have used and operated several of those drones without problems in the rain, surf spray, fog, mist, dew, etc. Very useful for flying in high heat/humidity seasons and areas as well. As a drone pro this duly comes out on those occasions and I've stopped worrying about them since I included a Swellpro Splash 3 into my flight line.
One caveat is the remote - the drone itself is simple and it's a DJI flight control system, but the controller that comes with isn't waterproof. A 5-gallon Ziplok with holes punched for the antennas and "sealed" with rubber bands works for me - also keeps my hands dry while operating.
Hex20 makes a pro level waterproof drone as well, but that's a step up in complexity and price, imo. I did look at it and do a demo flight a few years back though, and if you're flying over open water, this might be a good option for you.
I mainly fly off land (not off boats or ships) so the Swellpro is totally sufficient unto my needs. It also has a carry-drop system with a downward facing camera for rescue drops so might suit your needs better. I've used it to drop a small walkie-talkie, water bottles etc., and also to locate and rescue tree- and cliff- stranded drones.
