In regards to the AP not starting, I've found these two threads were helpful:

I can now experiment again with separate dongles again.
I have also found a possible explanation for the instability in the harbor:
- I was using an instable network mode, on board and AP together. It works perfectly at home, but this just is not stable enough in real life (harbor / steel boat) situations.
- On a 3B+ this is a problem, the exact same settings on a pi4 are working great.
- I will try the onboard setting only, using onboard or external as AP and will report back.
Right, still can't set the dongle as AP if I choose sharing internet device wlan0 or wlan1, but I think that the onboard WiFi is now stable enough to test it in the harbor again.
