The idea of a paradise island began with Carl Fisher, a Miami Beach developer, who fell in love with and bought the land in 1919. Fisher was friends with William Vanderbilt II, a wealthy man, and they traded Fisher Island for Vanderbilt's yacht in 1925.
Vanderbilt built an elegant Mediterranean-style estate in 1936, facing the sea with opulent features. He entertained lavishly and provided amenities like a golf course, pool, and aviary. After passing through various owners, Fisher Island was eventually restored in a $60 million project by Fisher Island Holdings, LLC and
Fisher Island Club in 2007.
Today, Fisher Island Club offers a luxurious island lifestyle near Miami Beach.
