This Spring I am shepherding a crew of 14 split between two boats around the
BVI. Looking for a way to stay in contact without crowding the VHF freqs so
I am thinking about at buying a couple of pairs of FRS/GMRS radios. I
understand that the published ranges are pretty well BS and power is not as
important as quality of construction.

Anyone have a positive experience with a make/model they would recommend? I
need a reliable range of at least 3 or 4 miles. A detachable antenna would
also be a plus.

Here's some that WM is now carrying that are claimed to be water
resistant, 2 watts and 7 mile range:
