Islander is an 88' x 24' deluxe sportfisher. Built as the Red Rooster II, she was originally designed as a long-range vessel. As such she played a critical role in the development of San Diego 's modern long-range fleet. The industry has seen many changes since then and Islander Shark Expeditions has followed suit. Running trips that range from one to seven days, the Islander is designed with passenger comfort and safety in mind. |
