try to escape by building a boat

Taking action puts your survival in your own hands rather than hoping that someone happens to search for you
There is no guarantee anyone knows you are stranded or is actively looking for you on a remote island
Building provides a project that improves your situation and offers shelter even if escape takes time

stay there and wish you get found

A self-built boat attempting to cross an open ocean faces overwhelming odds — most people lack the skills to construct something seaworthy
Staying on the island keeps you alive longer and at a fixed position that rescuers can actually locate
The island provides food, freshwater sources, and shelter materials that an ocean voyage immediately strips away
