I murdered every named NPC except the crew in the first island, including governor Clario and Stormspeaker Ikawa, after being done with the dig site and returning to the beach to talk with the Stewardess and getting the ship off the beach only crew member available is that Riggy-something guy from the jail, and rest of the crew is still enjoying the campfire on the beach, no way to get recruited. 

If you killed everyone, they can't get your ship ready with means your crew cannot join you. This is not a bug, just a stupid way of playing.  How do you expect to repair the boat if no one is alive?

:D

 

I don't expect anything. I already played the game "normally" twice, now I'm trying stuff to see how the game would respond. Anyway boat gets repaired anyway and becomes seaworthy, just the initial crew don't get on board for some reason, prolly a bug since they are not acting differently/not reacting to the fact I killed everyone, they are just sitting around the campfire.

Did you kill them before repairing the boat or after?

Before, boat got off the beach with the help of "high tide" somehow.
