Migrants are paying wealthy Ukrainian gangs more than £5,500 to smuggle them from Turkey to Italy on luxury yachts.
According to the border agency and Italian authorities, more than 2,000 have made the trip since the beginning of 2016.
The multi-million pound operation sees the gangs - believed to be former members of the Ukrainian army - charge thousands for the journey which takes three or four days.
According to Louise Callaghan of The Sunday Times, migrants are taken to Izmir on Turkey's Aegean coast before sailing via Malta or Sicily, sometimes picking up more passengers in Greece.
And according to The Times, in the last month eight Ukrainian people smugglers were arrested in Sicily after their yacht was intercepted, while another six were arrested in Malta and Crete - both groups ferrying some 30 migrants from South Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
However there were a reported nine successful trips last year which evaded the Sicilian authorities.
Most migrants attempt the perilous journey on flimsy inflatable boats provided by smugglers that are barely equipped to make it to international waters.
