Private black-SUV transportation to or from Port of Miami and Pelican Marsh runs a flat rate from $350 per vehicle, with a bilingual driver meeting your group curbside at the cruise terminal. This private, door-to-door transfer carries up to 14 passengers plus cruise luggage across South Florida toward the Gulf Coast near Naples, re-timed free if your ship docks late — no shared ride, no surge pricing.
Each price below is the flat, per-vehicle rate for your whole group, locked when you book with tolls and fuel already inside.
Book a private vehicle sized to your group and your driver handles the rest, door to door. For up to five cruise passengers, the Black SUV is the pick; groups of six to nine or ten to fourteen ride in a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van with room for everyone plus cruise luggage. Your driver meets you curbside right at the PortMiami cruise terminal as you exit, holding a name sign when you request one over WhatsApp. From there it is a single, direct ride to your Pelican Marsh address — no transfers, no waiting for other travelers to fill seats. To lock it in, message us with your ship name, disembark date, group size, and drop-off address, and we confirm the vehicle and flat rate. Driver name, vehicle model, and plate reach by text the day before.
Message us on WhatsApp with your ship, disembark date, passenger count, and Pelican Marsh address. We reply with the vehicle and the flat rate, then hold it with a deposit. Book at least 24 hours ahead; shorter-notice requests are reviewed by hand, though availability is not guaranteed.
The ride from Port of Miami to Pelican Marsh is a long-distance crossing of South Florida, moving from the Atlantic side to the Gulf Coast near Naples. Because it is a longer transfer, plan it as a relaxed journey rather than a speedy hop. Disembarkation mornings can be hectic near the terminal when several ships clear customs together, so the start may move slower before the road opens up. Your driver watches the ship’s arrival and adjusts the pickup, so a late dock does not cost you the ride. On a run of this length, one short comfort stop for a restroom or a snack can be arranged along the way. We confirm your exact pickup time the day before, texted with your driver’s details, so the timing is settled before you step off.
Your fare is locked the moment you book — the same flat, per-vehicle price whether you journey at dawn or during a holiday rush, with no surge and no change for traffic. The whole vehicle is reserved for your group alone, never pooled with strangers, so you ride on your own schedule. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the arrival for international cruise families. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp before, during, and after the journey, not a queue. For cruise passengers stepping off the ship with tired kids and stacks of luggage, that combination — a set price, a reserved private vehicle, and a driver who knows the cruise terminal — turns a long transfer to the Gulf Coast into the simple part of the day.
Three private vehicle classes cover every cruise group, and each one is reserved for your party alone. Pick by headcount and how much luggage rolls off the ship with you.
Your flat rate already covers the costs that pile up in a metered car. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are built into the price, so the number you book is the number you pay at the end. Your driver meets you curbside at the cruise terminal with a name sign on request, helps load and unload your cruise luggage, and keeps an onboard mobile hotspot running so the group stays connected across the drive. Courtesy waiting is included — thirty minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed pickup time, and fifteen minutes for a hotel pickup — which absorbs the normal shuffle of clearing the ship or checking out. Everything in this section is part of the price; the extras that can add to it are spelled out next.
Yes — the first child seat is free for a child under five. Each additional child seat carries a small added fee we confirm when you book. Tell us your children’s ages over WhatsApp and we fit the right seats before your driver arrives.
Small pets ride with you when you give advance notice on WhatsApp and travel in a pet carrier. Let us know the size ahead of time so your driver can plan the space alongside your cruise luggage. There is no shared cabin, so it is just your group and your pet.
A few things sit outside the flat rate, and none of them are surprises. Beyond your first free child seat, extra child seats add a small fee confirmed at booking. Courtesy waiting covers the first block of time; if the group needs longer, added waiting is billed in thirty-minute blocks. A stop that was not booked in advance can sometimes be added on route for a small fee — arrange it ahead so your driver can plan it. Driver gratuity is optional and consistently welcome, but never required. Food, drinks, and any parking costs are not included. If you pay by card or secure link, a four percent bank fee applies to that method. Message us before the journey with anything unusual and we confirm the detail before you ride.
Sports gear is the item groups forget to declare. Tennis racquets, a set of clubs, folding chairs and a cooler take up shape rather than weight, and shape is what fills a boot. Mention anything longer than a suitcase when you book so the vehicle sent has the room, and everything rides in the back instead of across somebody’s knees.
Pelican Marsh is a gated golf-and-residential community in North Naples, on Florida’s Gulf Coast — a calmer, greener contrast to the cruise-terminal bustle you just left. The community centers on its championship course, walking trails, and a clubhouse social scene, set among the palms and lakes typical of upscale Naples. Cruise visitors headed here are commonly staying with family, playing a round, or using it as a quiet base near the Gulf beaches, boutique shopping, and the dining that North Naples is known for. You can read about the community at the Pelican Marsh community overview, and about the course at the Pelican Marsh Golf Club. Your driver takes you directly to your address inside or near the community, luggage and all.
Most visitors stay right within Pelican Marsh or the surrounding North Naples area, close to the golf and the Gulf. We drop you at your exact address, whether it is a private home in the community or a place nearby — just share it when you book and your driver plans the route.
Golf leads the list, alongside the walking trails and clubhouse life inside the community. Beyond the gates, North Naples offers Gulf beaches, boutique shopping, and a well-regarded dining scene. Cruise travelers often use the area as a relaxed coastal stop after days at sea.
Every booking includes one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, with real room for the cruise luggage that rolls off the ship. Your driver helps load and unload it all, so nobody wrestles suitcases at the curb. The Black SUV swallows the bags of a small family; the private Sprinter vans add cargo space for larger groups and the extra gear a week at sea tends to generate. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the journey and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van. We would rather plan it ahead than leave a bag on the curb, so tell us what is coming and we match the vehicle to it.
Payment is handled over WhatsApp or the website. You can pay by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link; full cash payment at pickup is not accepted, though cash is fine for the driver-day balance on a Miami-side pickup. A round journey is priced as double the one-way — book both legs together and your return is already set. Your fare stays flat from the moment you confirm, so nothing shifts with demand or traffic between booking and pickup. We text your driver’s name, vehicle, and plate the day before, along with exact pickup instructions, so payment and logistics are settled before you ever step off the ship.
For a pickup starting at PortMiami, a fifty percent deposit confirms your booking and the remaining fifty percent goes to your driver on trip day, cash accepted. A return pickup from the Naples side, farther out, is paid in full in advance. We confirm the split with you when you book.
Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 6 PM carry no surcharge. Trips that start outside that window add a modest late-hour charge, shown here so there are no surprises at the curb.
Cruise travelers ask the same handful of questions before booking a long transfer to the Gulf Coast. Here are direct answers on timing, the terminal meet, luggage, and pricing — the details that decide whether a private ride fits your disembark day.
Your driver tracks your ship’s arrival and disembark timing, so a late dock does not cost you the ride. The pickup is re-timed automatically at no extra charge — you do not re-book or pay a surge. Just come out when you clear customs and your vehicle is waiting.
Your driver meets you curbside right at the PortMiami cruise terminal as your group exits, holding a name sign when you ask for one over WhatsApp in advance. There is no hunting through a lot — it is direct terminal pickup, then straight to your Pelican Marsh address.
Yes — disembark-day pickups are the core of what we do. Book at least 24 hours ahead so your vehicle and driver are set; shorter-notice requests are still reviewed by hand, though availability is not guaranteed. Share your ship and disembark date and we plan around your terminal time.
The flat rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one price above, whether that is two people or a full van of fourteen. A round trip is simply double the one-way. No per-head charges, no surge, no change for traffic.
Our private van is booked as a whole vehicle at the flat, per-vehicle rate listed above — never a shared or per-seat shuttle. The 6-to-9 and 10-to-14 vans carry your group and luggage alone. A round trip is double the one-way, and a small surcharge applies to pickups outside daytime hours.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

When several cabins travel together, give us one person and one working mobile number for the whole group. That is who the chauffeur messages the day before and on the morning itself. Passing updates to eight phones on a debarkation morning is how half a party ends up on the wrong side of the terminal.
