Founded by a Sailor. Tested at Sea.
Fueled by Wind & Coffee
Every good voyage starts with a plan. Check the weather. Plot the route. Inspect the boat. Pack the essentials. Stock the galley.
And, of course, provision the coffee.
At Skipper's Remedy®, we make it easy to provision specialty coffee and artisan tea for quick escapes, weekend cruises, offshore passages, regattas, and life aboard. Our coffees are selected and roasted with sailors in mind—because your galley may be compact, your freshwater limited, and your boat occasionally heeled over...but your coffee doesn't have to be compromised.
Provisioning Kits Built for Sailors
Your galley isn't a café. It's compact, constantly moving, and occasionally operating at a rather enthusiastic angle.
That's why our coffee is made for the realities of life at sea.
Choose convenient formats including:
- 2oz single-serving packets - easy to stow, portion, and protect from unnecessary air exposure
- 12oz bags - ideal for weekend cruising and everyday galley use
- 2 lb bags - great for extended trips and larger crews
- 5 lb bags - serious provisions for serious passages
Provision Coffee Like a Skipper
How much coffee do you actually need?
A useful starting point is approximately 20 grams of coffee per 12-ounce cup. For a crew of five drinking two cups each per day over ten days, that's roughly 100 cups, or about 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of coffee.
And don't forget the water.
Coffee requires fresh water too, so include brewing water in your freshwater calculations alongside your crew's daily drinking-water needs.
Happy crew. Well-Fed crew. Hydrated crew. Caffeinated crew.
That's a pretty good passage plan.

Ground Coffee Needed4.5–5.0 lb
Brewing water (Liters)30 L
Planning estimate: 0.045–0.05 lb of ground coffee and 0.3 liters of brewing water per cup.
Built for Your Galley, Not a Café
Your galley doesn't need complicated equipment to make exceptional coffee.
Our coffees work beautifully with practical brewing methods sailors already trust:
French Press - Simple, reliable, and excellent with a coarse grind.
Percolator - Rugged, familiar, and ideal when you're brewing for the whole crew.
Moka Pot - Compact and flavorful for sailors who like a little extra intensity.
Whether you're brewing at anchor, underway, or waiting for the wind to fill in, Skipper’s Remedy® helps make your galley feel a little more like home.
Fresh Coffee for the Journey
Freshness matters ...especially aboard.
Oxygen gradually diminishes the aromas and flavors that make specialty coffee special. That's why our 2 oz provisioning packets are particularly useful for sailing: each portion stays sealed until you're ready to brew, helping minimize exposure while making galley organization wonderfully simple.
Stow a few in the cabin.
Keep some in the galley.
Hide an emergency reserve for the skipper.
We won't tell the crew.
Specialty Coffee & Artisan Tea
for Life at Sea
At Skipper’s Remedy®, our café is your galley.
We source specialty-grade coffee, globally sourced single-origins, nautical-inspired blends, and artisan teas for people who answer the call of open water.
From the first cup before sunrise to the coffee shared after a long day under sail, we're here to help you Fuel Your Crew™ and Brew the Adventure™.
Provision for the Passage Ahead
Quick escape? Grab a few 2 oz packets.
Weekend cruise? Stock a 12 oz bag.
Extended voyage? Bring the 2 lb or 5 lb option.
Big crew? Provision accordingly ...and maybe add a little extra for the sailor who mysteriously develops a three-cup-per-watch habit.
Wherever your next course leads, start with a well-provisioned galley.
