Title,
一風帆風順 - Yifan-fengshun - Smooth sailing
Seal,
北海海雕 - Beihai shell carving
Beihai shell carving is the traditional handicraft in Guangxi, Zhuang Autonomous Region, Beihai City.

With regards,

This looks to be an example of traditional Chinese shell art. The bold inscription reads from the right as "Yi fan feng shun", (一帆風順), literally "may your sails be filled with favorable winds" and idiom for "May you have a happy journey", a common farewell wish for departing friends. I'll defer the seal script to forum experts.

Best regards,

Bill H.
