Kylie,

Some years back there was an incident I know of on an island, and what ended up happening was that a call was placed to 911 and and ambulance was dispatched to 19 mile Bay, and the the injured individual was put into a boat by the family and rushed to meet the ambulance at the dock. I believe there was some talk of sending a police or fire boat to the island, but in the interest of time in this particular case, and because the family had the ability to do so, the person was transported on a personal vessel.........

My point here I guess is that EMS knows the area, and is able to deal with the issue.....and in the case I know of, was able to work through and come up with the best plan to get the injured person to help as quick as possible.
