By sea, Sicily is served by several ferry routes and cargo ports, and in all major cities, cruise ships dock on a regular basis.
* Mainland Italy: Ports connecting to the mainland are [[Messina]] (route to [[Villa San Giovanni]] and [[Salerno]]), the busiest passenger port in Italy, [[Palermo]] (routes to [[Genoa]], [[Civitavecchia]] and [[Naples]]) and [[Catania]] (route to [[Naples]]).
* Sicily's small surrounding islands: The port of [[Milazzo]] serves the [[Aeolian Islands]], the ports of [[Trapani]] and [[Marsala]] the [[Aegadian Islands]] and the port of [[Porto Empedocle]] the [[Pelagie Islands]]. From Palermo there is a service to the island of [[Ustica]] and to [[Sardinia]].
* International connections: From Palermo and Trapani there are weekly services to [[Tunisia]] and there is also a daily service between [[Malta]] and [[Port of Pozzallo|Pozzallo]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://it.geocities.com/traghetti2002/sicilia.html |publisher=Traghetti Guida |title=Traghetti Sicily 2008|date=2 January 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071114044904/http://it.geocities.com/traghetti2002/sicilia.html |archive-date=14 November 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.virtuferries.com/index.aspx |publisher=VirtuFerries.com |title=High speed car/passenger ferry service |date=2 January 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080812054941/http://www.virtuferries.com/index.aspx |archive-date=12 August 2008}}</ref>
* Commercial and cargo ports: The port of [[Augusta, Sicily|Augusta]] is the fifth-largest cargo port in Italy and handles tonnes of goods. Other major cargo ports are Palermo, Catania, Trapani, [[Port of Pozzallo|Pozzallo]] and [[Termini Imerese]].

The main ports for this traffic are in [[Marina di Ragusa]], [[Riposto]], [[Portorosa]], [[Syracuse, Sicily|Syracuse]], [[Cefalù]] and [[Sciacca]]. In Sicily, Palermo is also a major centre for boat rental, with or without crew, in the Mediterranean.
* Fishing ports: Like all islands, Sicily also has many fishing ports. The most important is in [[Mazara del Vallo]] followed by [[Castellamare del Golfo]], [[Licata]], [[Scoglitti]] and [[Portopalo di Capo Passero]].
