Verified answer
It is less expensive to transport goods by water than by land, which remains true even today, and was even more true in earlier centuries. If the cost of transportation can be reduced, then the profits are correspondingly increased. There was (and remains) a lot of profitable trade that can be done between Europe and Asia.
