Porticello is a fishing port in Sicily, Italy, located between Palermo and Cefalu. It is a frazione or village within the township of Santa Flavia.
The village is dominated by the remains of the Punic civilization city of Solunto, one of the first Phoenician trading posts established in Sicily. The city, which had been prosperous until then, was sacked and destroyed in the Middle Ages by the Arabs. The ruins still exist.
In August 2024, a storm sank the Bayesian, a large luxury yacht owned by the British tech entrepreneur billionaire Mike Lynch, while moored just offshore from Porticello.
