Cosy trip at sea for islanders (8)

I believe the answer is:

cypriots

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'islanders' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'cosy trip at sea' is the wordplay.
'at sea' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cosy'+'trip'='cosytrip'
'cosytrip' is an anagram of 'CYPRIOTS'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cypriots that I've seen before include "Nationality of citizens of Nicosia" , "Native inhabitants of Limassol, say" , "They're from Limassol, say" , "People" , "Coty rips through these islanders" .)
