Raxis the guild bringing the monsters to the island would be a huge waste of zeny and I think they would work out that sending a hunter on a small boat to a distant land and back is cheaper than bringing a large monster on a huge ship to an area which it will only be capable of surviving in for a max of a few weeks (Due to weather patterns, food supplys etc.)
