清以前潮商的海上贸易就有一定的基础。清初禁海时期，潮商的海上贸易活动也从未停止过。开放海禁后，起初官商先于民商而动，随后潮汕民间的海上贸易便迅速发展起来。清代潮商海上贸易的主要交通工具是红头船，他们运用红头船在东南亚与国内各口岸间交叉穿梭进行循环贸易。清代潮商海上贸易的重头戏是中暹贸易。清代潮汕海上贸易的主要港口埠市是庵埠与樟林。清代潮商的海上贸易有其独特的特点，他们敢于冒险，善于经营，多有神祇崇拜，并利用遍布各地的会馆来保护自己的利益。清代潮人的海上贸易形成潮汕商人独特的海上丝绸之路。清代潮汕由于有了这样的海上丝绸之路的贸易兴盛，港口口岸经济崛起，成为潮汕区域经济发展的重要动力，并带动地域性的各行各业，尤其是各类手工业的发展，较大程度地扩展了潮人的生存空间。
