If I had to venture a guess I'd say there probably wouldn't be the numbers needed to remain profitable in the summer. Island residents tend to have boats so outside of surprise guests who would use the service on a regular basis, and how long would you be willing to wait for your ride? (Its a long haul if the taxi is somewhere in Center Harbor and a call comes in for a ride to Rattlesnake Island) Would there be the numbers to attempt an airboat service during the "off" season? I don't know, probably not.
On my last run of the summer I saw a small barge picking up trash from the islands, a dirty business but if you want to service islands for a profit then that is the direction I would look in.
