What it's all about..

At Sail Trade South West we care about nature, humans and traditional skills

Sail Ibis

Ibis is a 1929 Cornish lugger. We restored Ibis in order to sail fair trade produce to the UK whilst supporting the training of new people into traditional seamanship skills. You can buy a voyage on Ibis or sponsor a young person to sail and learn with us.

Carefully selected organic and fair trade produce is sourced and transported on Ibis and through the global Sail Cargo Community Network. You can buy from us with the assurance that the quality of every single item relates to being grown ethically and sustainably.
