About Your Trip
Turn your ordinary fishing trip into an exciting offshore adventure with this one-of-a-kind experience! The Islander is an anchored platform located off the coast of Louisiana by the Chandeleur Islands, offering overnight lodging and hospitality for anglers out on the water. You can fish from the platform or get set up with one of their affiliated local guides!
The Islander is your do-it-all spot in the Louisiana offshore. Bring your own boat and park right
by the Islander for an overnight stay to maximize your time on the water, or leave the fishing experience up to the experts and book a trip with one of their trusted local guides.
Guests must provide their own boat for offshore fishing or arrange a trip with a local guide. The Islander crew can help connect you with experienced local guides who know the area and can provide an unforgettable fishing experience.
Once on board, you will enjoy a welcomed shower, a completely satisfying dinner, relaxation in air-conditioned comfort, and perhaps drinks and a nice breeze on deck with your friends. Most importantly, you will sleep in clean, comfortable quarters, out of the water on a stationary platform, where you can relax and enjoy your stay away from the wind, waves, and elements.
