About

Where the salty breeze mingles with the tantalizing aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the Sailors Coffee Company emerged as a beacon for caffeine connoisseurs and sea enthusiasts alike. As any seafaring tall-tale, the countless voyages across the vast oceans, the adventures of lifelong friends Skipper Marco Vento and First Mate Amelia Gaoth has borne this maritime-themed specialty-grade coffee company. The duo, both seasoned sailors with a deep passion for the sea and an unwavering love for a good cup of coffee, envisioned the warmth of a well-crafted brew could harmonize with the camaraderie of seafaring tales.

Our meticulously curated specialty-grade coffee and artisan tea selection features flavors sourced from regions around the world, reflecting the diverse flavors encountered during their seafaring journeys. Whether you are a landlubber seeking refuge from the daily grind or a sailor yearning for a taste of the sea, Sailors Coffee Company stands as a testament to the enduring friendship of its founders and their shared love for the open waters and a perfect cup of coffee.

Sailors Coffee Company is a direct-to-consumer specialty-grade coffee brand where customers can easily order their favorite coffee varietals online, which are then freshly roasted and promptly shipped to their doorstep, allowing them to indulge in a delightful coffee experience from the comfort of their own homes or while out on the open seas. With our mantra of "Order, Roast, Ship... Sip," we prioritize convenience and quality, offering specialty-grade coffee and artisan loose leaf teas without the need for a brick and mortar location at this time.

At Sailors Coffee Company, we are deeply committed to supporting sustainable farming. Our roaster sources coffee beans from farmers who use environmentally friendly practices, ensuring the longevity of their land and the health of the ecosystems their farms are part of. 

At Sailors Coffee Company, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. That's why we're proud to offer several of our coffee roasts in compostable bags, along with our full range of artisan loose leaf teas. Our commitment to eco-friendly packaging ensures that you can enjoy your favorite brews guilt-free, knowing that you're making a positive impact on the environment. Join us in our mission to sail towards a greener future, one compostable bag at a time.

When we say our coffee is 'ethically sourced', it means we ensure that our coffee is produced under fair working conditions and farmers are paid a fair wage. This not only helps to support the communities where we source our coffee from but also contributes to the quality of our coffee.

Meet Frank, the visionary behind Sailors Coffee Company, whose childhood fascination with the ocean, boats, and lighthouses in New England laid the foundation for his enduring love affair with the sea. Fast forward to present-day San Diego, California, where Frank has transformed his passion into reality, becoming certified for sailing keel sailboats and immersing himself in the exhilarating world of sailing. Sailors Coffee Company is more than just a business venture for Frank; it's a pursuit to blend his two of his passions—high-quality specialty-grade coffee and the thrill of adventure out on the open water.

Driven by a desire to share his love for both coffee and sailing with others, Frank has created Sailors Coffee Company as a vessel to connect coffee enthusiasts and sailing aficionados alike. Each cup of Sailors Coffee Company's meticulously crafted coffee is infused with passion for exploration and commitment to quality, reflecting the essence of adventure and discovery that defines both sailing and the pursuit of exceptional coffee. As you savor the rich flavors and aromas of Sailors Coffee Company's specialty-grade brews, you're invited to join Frank (as well as Skipper Marco Vento and First Mate Amelia Gaoth) on a journey of taste and adventure, where every sip is a reminder of the boundless possibilities that await on the open sea.

At Sailors Coffee Company, our commitment to community extends beyond the shores. We are proud to give back to two organizations:

Inspired by the bravery and sacrifice of veterans who have served our country, we proudly support the Honor Flight San Diego nonprofit organization. For every bag of coffee sold, a portion of the proceeds is dedicated to sponsoring veterans' flights to visit memorials dedicated to their service in Washington, D.C. It's our small gesture of gratitude to those who have selflessly defended our freedoms, ensuring that they have the opportunity to experience the recognition and appreciation they deserve. Through our partnership with "Honor Flight," we strive to honor the legacy of our nation's heroes and express our deep appreciation for their unwavering dedication and service.

With every purchase of coffee or tea from Sailors Coffee Company, customers are not just enjoying a delicious brew but also contributing to a worthy cause. A portion of the proceeds is dedicated to supporting the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, helping to protect marine life and conserve our oceans. Together, we're brewing a brighter future for our seas, one cup at a time.
