 Why would you want to ship a kayak rather than rent considering the
expense? I saw rentals listed  on Caye Caulker for $60/day -  but even at
that price the boats are probably entry level plastic or sit on tops.

  I have seen slickrocks video but being adventurous and cheap, I would
prefer to set my own itinerary. The outfitter below, although mainly a dive
location, rents camp sites, rooms, huts over the water, provides meals and
rents kayaks.  The poly wilderness systems for $125/week does not look to
bad.

 They are stable, unsinkable and easy to climb back in after snorkeling.
$150/week. Touring single Dagger, Chinook or Wilderness Systems with rudder,
skirt and hatch seals,are faster and great for long distance $125 /week.
Doubles with rudder, skirt and hatch seals $175/week. Kayaks less than week,
$20 per person for three hours. If you want dry bags bring your own.
