The Port of Arrecife is the main port facility for Lanzarote and the second busiest in the Canary Islands in terms of passengers. It handles passenger ferries, cruise ships and ro-ro cargo, but also bulk, breakbulk, containers, liquid bulk, and has a large fishing port.

Cruise port

Arrecife is a major cruise port with over 400,000 cruise passenger visits per annum. Most cruise ships now dock at the La Boca de Puerto Naos, which is closer to the city than the berths at the commercial port.
