Quoting Cisco, the Cisco Aironet 340 Series Direct Sequence Ethernet Bridge...
:
Offers up to 25-mile range
Offers up to 11 Mbps data rate
Links buildings into a single LAN
Requires no license
This looks like what you should get mainly because their is no real hacking that is needed. Yes this takes away the fun but Cisco is designed for the distance. I would recommend checking EBAY for some good prices. Remember that you will need two of these if you plan to have a wired network on this "island" of yours... But if you don't: just get one base for the mainland and then a pcmcia card for the island (cheaper that 2 base stations).
According to an Airport Hacker Page... You can get around +- 3 miles (4800 KM). You might need to come up with your own hack. Try increasing the power for the antenna.
Or you could try a PrimeStar Sat Dish. Problem is I don't know the range on these things and they are extreme directional sensitive.

I hope this helps!
