That seems very high for a one day rental. I would check around for a better price or hire Wilfred Brooks, a sponsor here, who will take you all in a van for more comfort and space for all your purchases. He comes very highly recommended and will provide excellent service.

A rental for one day is always much higher than what the per day rental would be, if you rent for a week.
Do you know the island well? If so, you could definitely do that. If you don't, I might opt for the taxi. Wilfred could definitely take all your stuff in his van, as he has a big van.

On the one hand, a rental car might be very tight for 4 of you and luggage, unless you've rented quite a big one.
On the other hand, the flexibility of having your own car for last-second runs before your boat departure may well be worth the extra few bucks.
