They give you some good charts with harbor entrances so you are confident of how to enter. Only downside was the contender had no front seat/casting platform. Also Used King, he is great as well and has nice boats. Both are good options. I rented from King for this February.

I'm renting a 17' RIB again this year as a "Mega Dinghy" (can't afford a mega yacht...). It tows fairly well behind the Cat, we're not winning any races but don't go far enough for it to matter!

Website is bviadventuretours.com or Snorkelbvi.com, and he's very responsive to emails and phone calls. I believe he operates off the same dock/marina as TMM in Roadtown.
