There are two kinds of mornings on the water.
The first is a leisurely harbor morning. The sails stay covered. The conversation is unhurried. The coffee is enjoyed at a comfortable pace.
The second?
The second starts before sunrise.
Crew members are checking forecasts. Sail ties are coming off. Race committees are setting marks. Someone is already debating wind shifts. Someone else is searching for that one winch handle that was definitely put "somewhere safe."
And everyone is reaching for coffee.
Welcome to regatta season.
☕ Coffee: The Unsung Crew Member
Every successful racing team has a few essentials:
- A prepared crew
- A solid game plan
- Good communication
- Favorable wind
And somewhere near the top of that list:
Reliable coffee.
Because while caffeine won't trim the sails for you, it can certainly help with those early morning rig checks, tactical discussions, and post-race debriefs that somehow last longer than the race itself.
At Skipper's Remedy®, we believe great sailing and great coffee belong on the same boat.
That's why this season we're proud to launch Fuel the Regatta: our celebration of the crews, racers, and sailing enthusiasts who chase every knot of speed and every opportunity for adventure.
🏆 Coffee for Competitive Crews
Whether you're racing around the buoys, competing offshore, or simply trying to beat your dock neighbor to the first mooring, having the right coffee aboard can make all the difference.
Our race-day favorites include:
⚓ Compass Rose Blend
A dependable favorite for crews who like consistency before competition.
Available in convenient 2oz single-serving packets, Compass Rose Blend is easy to provision, easy to stow, and easy to brew underway.
No bulky containers.
No measuring.
No wasted coffee.
Just fresh coffee exactly when you need it. Explore more.
🌊 Scallywag Blend
A mischievous Medium-Dark Roast with notes of cocoa, caramel, and vanilla.
Perfect for crews who aren't afraid to push a little harder, sail a little faster, and occasionally claim that their tactical decisions are "all part of the plan."
Even when they aren't. Explore more.
☠️ Black Pearl Blend
Our bold dark roast for sailors who believe race mornings should begin with confidence, determination, and a coffee strong enough to wake the entire marina.
Subtle? Not particularly.
Effective? Absolutely. Explore more.
❄️ Cold Brew for Warm Weather Racing
Summer regattas bring sunshine, warm decks, and plenty of time spent in the elements.
That's where cold brew shines. Our favorite approach is simple:
- 1 part coarse-ground coffee
- 8 parts cold water
- Steep 12–24 hours
- Dilute to taste
- Serve over ice
The result is a smooth, refreshing brew that's easy to prepare ahead of time and perfect for long race days.
For cold brew enthusiasts, our specially crafted Jibing Cold Brew roast delivers smooth chocolate, toffee, and floral notes designed specifically for cold extraction.
Because hydration is important. But so is enjoying it.

It begins with preparation. It begins with teamwork. It begins with showing up ready.
And for many sailors, it begins with coffee.
