However, with snorkel gear and a husband and son with huge feet, our fins alone are over 15 pounds.
Are you saying their feet are so big that they won't fit the fins the charter base offers? I wear size 12s and I can find fins in the "box" just fine. Or are you saying you prefer your own fins? If so maybe it will be ok to leave your favorite fins at home and make due with what's available. The mas and snorkel are a different story - I totally get bringing your own to make sure it fits well.
