What kind of island, tropical, artic or something more temperate? would make a difference.

If tropical I would want,

A fishing pole,
A knife,
A friend to keep me company and help us survive.

If Artic,

A big coat, to stay warm
A lighter to start fires to stay warm and melt ice or snow to drink.
A friend to keep me company and help us survive, plus share body heat with in the cave at night.

If temperate,

A knife,
A hammer,
Someone else to help me survive as there is no way I would survive on my own on any of these islands.

1. Either a Leatherman Super Tool OR a Victorinox Swiss Champ Army Knife (as long as either one of them has a magnifying glass to help me create fire)

An endless supply of food and beverages that will never go bad or spoil.

A woman who wouldn't mind spending the rest of her life with me.

A magic genie lamp with a genie inside that I would use to break OP's rules and escape the island once and for all. You can't stop me!

If you wanted to be all "realistic" and all, I'd bring one camping backpack full of useful stuff inside it (like knife, rope, 500 page notebook, pencils, pens, flashlight, solar charger, etc) as the first thing, as well as a satellite phone, and that woman I mentioned earlier. Three things.

2. The Most Luxuries RV money can ever buy, basically a multi million dollar house on wheels

3. Girls, LOT'S of Girls. 😁

Assuming it's viable to survive on the island (eg. Food, water available and no complications on disease) then:

#1 Long, durable, hefty and good quality machete.

#2 A fishing kit. Hooks, wires and such.

#3 a good local farming guide for the region.
