The Cairns Seaport, located on Trinity Inlet, is operated by the Cairns Port Authority.

It serves as an important port for tourist operators providing daily reef trips.
These consist of large catamarans capable of carrying over 300 passengers, as well as smaller operators that may take as few as 12 tourists.
Cairns Port is also a port of call for cruise ships, such as Captain Cook Cruises, cruising the South Pacific Ocean.
It also provides freight services to coastal townships on Cape York Peninsula, the Torres Strait and the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Yearly cargo through the port totals 1.13 million tonnes.
Almost 90% of the trade is bulk cargoes – including petroleum, sugar, molasses, fertiliser and LP gas.
A large number of fishing trawlers are also located at the port.
There is also a marina that houses private yachts and boats used for tourist operations.

The Trinity Wharf has recently been the subject of a major redevelopment to improve the area for tourist and cruise ship operations.
The freight wharves are located to the south of Trinity Wharf further up Trinity Inlet.
