You definitely had me hooked! The story is captivating and you are a true master of dialogue. You are a writer with great talent.
I do want to point out one thing that I saw though. About one-third in you wrote: Though he was easily bigger than any other man in the room other than his two companions, he didn't look like he belonged with the three colonists. The sentence sounds like your comparing Stuart with Morgan, Paul, and Stuart when you really only comparing him to Morgan and Paul. I would change three to other or two.
I enjoyed your story. I like your setting of being stranded on a island. That hook always get me. The conflict of Samantha wanting to stay and then reluctantly going only to find her demise was intriguing. The idea of the boats controlling your destiny is something you might want to consider for another story. Good job!
