I guess it depends which neighbouring islands you are visiting - a sail to Nevis might not need much . I would have thought a visit to the websites which stock up yachts might help with lists. I suggest no harm in antibiotics ,naproxen type drugs, simple aspirin,paracetamol etc . Sprays for bites , mosquito stuff , . We tend to have a small quick box in heads plus a fuller box in bow but not certain I have ever listed it. I guess no space for a defib machine but tend to pack a meds bag when travelling much like we carry on board.
I had a CPR and defibrillator briefing last Saturday at a yacht club I was visiting ( they kindly invited me to join in). The defibrillator box was remarkably compact, somewhat to my surprise. It was the size you could find space for and certainly fitted in the first aid carry bag. It was little more than the size of one of those 12v electric square tyre inflator pumps you can buy in Halfords.
