I ended up using Fritz on his new boat Jacquelin. Nothing fancy, he gets a bit annoying, and the boat was a bit crowded, but he did a very good job of loading/unloading the bikes. Not sure how it would have been if the seas were rougher, but the bikes were tied down, and I put a tarp over mine to keep some sea spray off. YOU DO NOT NEED AN AGENT to clear the bike into Colombia. It's super easy and straightforward, especially if you've already been through Central America. Once you have cleared immigration (done with the captain of your boat and all passengers) drive the bike to DIAN near the port, and it's the standard process of filling out an import form, copies of the form, your passport, entry stamp and title. Waited about 2.5 hrs, all done. Fritz tried to get us to use his buddy as an agent for US$35, but no need at all, and the agent struck me as being seriously sketchy as well. I'll look into insurance today.
