We rented a double kayak and a SUP on our last trip and to be honest we didn't use them as much as we thought we would. (4 adults and 3 kids on board) I agree that the kayak is a lot heavier, however, with the constant wind, SUPing was a bit difficult! smile Our next trip we are skipping the rentals. There are too many things to do and not enough time! HA! With sailing, fishing, hiking, snorkeling, floating around in tubes, swimming, exploring the islands etc! I'll let you know if we miss them this next trip!
