Default Lifevests for Turks and Caicos trip in April

Wife and I are going to Turks and Caicos with Paul "Rosie" Rosales in April! Will be leaving from SF Bay Area. Don't think we will be making the trip twice so would rather not spend the $250 for new ones. I am looking for anyone that has two lifevests to sell / rent / let us use for this trip.
Thx

Default Check FBOs in FLA

There are many FBOs on the east coast of Florida that will rent what you need. Where ever your jump off spot is, call or go online to the FBOs there. Reasonable rates, too.

Rental Charges start from the day the raft is shipped or picked up until the day it arrives back to our facility.

They service the Business Aircarft world....

You can also buy the shoulder strap or fanny pack life vests from your local marine supplier.
They are the CO2 inflatable type so they are comfortable to wear while flying to the islands.
I found them to be very reasonably priced.

Default Ft Pierce

FBO at Ft Pierce (KFPR) rents inflatably rafts and life vests. Good spot for fuel before leaving and the likely POE for customs on return makes it a convenient spot.
Others exist but this has worked for me.
