To maximize your profit, buy cargo where it is cheap and sell it where it is expensive. This is easier than it sounds, because the islands where the cargo is worth the most is just *clockwise* from the one where it is the cheapest to buy (excluding Parrot Port).

So you would sail in a clockwise circle among the islands:

-- Buy silk cheaply at Dragon Cove (upper left), and sell at nearly double your cost at Bouffant Bay to the right.

-- Buy medicine cheaply at Bouffant Bay (upper middle) and sell at Parrot Port or Golden Harbor. There is nothing cheap at Parrot Port.

-- Buy grain cheaply at Golden Harbor (lower right) and sell at Pirate Outpost to the left.

-- Buy spices cheaply at Pirate Outpost (lower left) and sell at Dragon Cove to the far north.

Trading cargo is only very profitable compared to salvage when you have a larger ship, so you should trade up whenever you can afford it, and hire the skilled crewmen.
