Some SUPS can come with a seat or seats that can clip on so that they can be used as something of a makeshift kayak if that's what someone wants. We just found the kayaks seemed like a great idea but were used less than the SUP's. Maybe just too much trouble to carry around the deck to get into the water?
Just check that the users have some experience. We had someone jump on but couldn't turn into the wind while in the Bight. Next thing we know she's "sailing" toward St John and we had to send a couple guys in a dinghy to get her!

In 2018 we rented a kayak, dinghy ladder and snorkel vests from Island Surf and Sail and recommend them highly.

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! 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!
