Holidays Afloat 
Relax and let yourself be wafted with billowing canvas 
aloft, and crystal clear waters below to the tropical island of 
your fancy. 
To Yachtsmen and others interested in the sea and ships, 
there could hardly be a better cruising ground than the West 
Indies, with steady trade winds at your command, and scores of 
lovely islands to be visited. 
In your own private Yacht, places of unsurpassed beauty 
and interest may be visited, and holidays afloat in this manner 
will bring a contentment and joy not found in any other sport 
or pastime. 
For this purpose we have a fine auxiliary Yacht, “ THE 
MOLLIHAWK ”, with luxurious accommodation for four 
persons. This vessel has proved very popular and has been 
operating in the Caribbean for a number of years. 
In addition we usually have a selection of other high class 
Yachts available for charter, generally with full crews and 
services. 
We do not take passengers or run scheduled trips for 
individuals. It is our custom to charter vessels to one person 
for not less than one week, and it is the charterer’s responsibility 
to find other congenial companions to accompany him on his 
go-as-you-please cruise, and maybe to share expenses. 
— «JThe cost of such a holiday will average apporximately 
$14fi U.S. per person per week, assuming that the accommoda- 
tion is filled to normal capacity. 
ADout $2'/. ' T ,S, per .day per, person, 
including all extras. 
SEASONS 
The most popular months for a visit to the West Indies 
are January to April, when people from the northern latitudes 
like to follow the sun and enjoy the blue seas of the Caribbean 
or other warm climates. These are the coolest months, but they 
are also the months of the strongest trade winds, making it 
rough water between the Islands, though the length of these 
passages is in most cases of short duration. 
The best sailing however is to be had in May, June, July 
and October, November and December, when the trade winds 
have diminished in strength, with calmer seas, enabling a Yacht 
to carry topsails and other light weather canvas, and still 
maintain speed and time schedules, in fact the perfect sailing 
weather.
