The story goes that the 3 hour cruise was chartered out of Honolulu, was caught in a storm and shipwrecked on an island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. But where is the island depicted on the show's title card? Enquiring minds wanted to know.
Puerto Rico. Gilligan’s Island, aka Gulligan's Island to the locals (the official name is Cayo Aurora), is a little speck of land about a mile off the coast of Guánica in southwestern Puerto Rico.
Oh, so that's where they got the character's name -- and the title! Three for the price of one.
