Inn At Fisher Island: Only Way Onto the Island

The only way one is supposed to be able to get to Fisher Island is if one owns property or if one is guest at the Inn.

I have NOT stayed at the Inn. However, I do know one other way to get there - you can work for someone who has access to the island. For instance if you are crew on a yacht, or if you work for a building contractor.

In any case, celebraties like to stay here because there is no fear of paparazzi.

A regular room in the low season (summer) is $550/night. At the high season it will be over $1000/night. That is according to a recent Travel Channel show on the Inn at Fisher Island.

According to the Inn website:

"Fisher Island is a 216-acre private island residential community of unrivaled luxury and splendor. Residents, Club members and Hotel & Resort guests enjoy a host of sumptuous amenities":

The Inn property takes up about 1/4 of the island .
