Try FedEx international economy to your charter company address.
I have shipped packages to the BVI often from my business. The rates might not be better than a checked bag fee, though worth a comparison...

I always take life with a grain of salt. Plus a slice of lemon, and a shot of tequila

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.
Life's short - sail more!

Thanks for the feedback You can certainly ship FedEx but it will not be worth it. First..check out the new(ish) mini fins that are light and fit in carryon.If that does not work consider renting from Island Surf and Sail down here. There is no way its worth you shipping back and forth..I only ship when I have to have a part for my car..and its usually way more than the part costs.. Any recommended brand? My husband wears size 15s and is super fussy about his gear. Because we are finishing our vacation on BVI and we need to keep our total luggage weight down, I was trying to get creative.
