Private black-SUV and van transfers run to or from Port of Miami and Watergate at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle, booked door-to-door with a bilingual driver who meets your group right at the cruise terminal. Your whole party rides in one reserved vehicle — Black SUV up to 5, private van up to 14 — with no surge pricing and room for cruise luggage.
The rate is a flat, per-vehicle price locked at booking — pick the tier that fits your group and everyone rides for one fare, with no surge and no change for traffic.
The simplest way is a private point-to-point transfer reserved before your sailing. After you clear the terminal, your driver is already curb-side and helps load the cruise luggage straight into the vehicle — no line, no app, no waiting to be matched. Select the Black SUV for parties up to 5, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or the larger Sprinter van for 10 to 14, and the whole group travels together in one vehicle to a single door-to-door drop-off at your Watergate address. It is a private ride start to finish, so there is no shared seating and no extra stops for other passengers.
Message us on WhatsApp or book through the website with your ship name, arrival date, group size, and Watergate address. We confirm the vehicle and flat rate, then text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate the day before. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead; shorter requests are reviewed manually as availability allows.
Every booking reserves one private vehicle for your group alone — no pooling, no shared seating, no stranger in the next seat. The fare is a flat rate fixed when you book, so demand and rush-hour traffic never change what you pay. A bilingual driver (English plus Spanish or Portuguese) meets you, loads the bags, and drives directly to Watergate. You reach a real person on WhatsApp rather than an app queue, which matters most on a tight disembark morning when plans shift. Drivers know the PortMiami terminals, watch your ship’s timing, and adjust the pickup when the ship is slow to clear. It is a organized, private service built specifically for cruise passengers who are moving with luggage, kids, and a schedule — one confirmed vehicle, one named driver, one predictable price from the moment you reserve.
The ride is a direct, door-to-door drive with no shared stops, so journey time depends mostly on the hour you leave the terminal. Off-peak — mid-morning or early afternoon when fewer ships are turning over — the roads move freely and the journey is at its quickest. During peak windows, when several ships disembark together and thousands of passengers hit the roads at once, anticipate the drive to run noticeably longer as terminal exits and neighboring streets back up. Because the fare is flat, that extra time never costs you more: heavy traffic changes the clock, not the price. Your driver watches the live disembark timing and picks the smoothest routing available on the day, and if your ship clears late, the pickup is merely re-timed at no charge. Offer yourself relaxing margin against any flight or appointment on the far end.
Watergate is a quiet residential community in Palm Beach County — settled streets and a local, everyday pace rather than a tourist strip. Our part is the ground transport: we drop your group directly at your Watergate address, so you step out of the vehicle exactly where you are headed rather than at a distant curb. Whether your visit is business, a family stay, or a stop before onward journey, the driver handles the luggage from terminal to door.
Choose whatever lodging suits your trip and give us the exact address; we drive door-to-door to any of it. If you have not booked yet, look at areas that match your plans, then send the confirmed address on WhatsApp so the driver programs the precise drop-off before pickup day.
The rate covers the private vehicle for your group, the bilingual driver, and all tolls, SunPass, and fuel — nothing metered on top. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot. The driver meets your group curb-side at the terminal, with a printed name sign when you request one on WhatsApp in advance, and helps load and unload every bag. Ship and flight monitoring is built in: the driver follows your arrival timing and re-times the pickup free if the ship docks late. Courtesy waiting is included — 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed pickup time, and 15 minutes for a hotel pickup. Beyond that window, extra waiting is billed in 30-minute blocks. Small pets journey with advance notice on WhatsApp when carried in a pet carrier. The first child seat is free for a child under 5.
Food and drinks, driver gratuity (optional and appreciated), parking costs, and unscheduled stops are not included. A short nearby stop arranged in advance can be added, and a small fee may apply. Each additional child seat beyond the first carries an extra charge confirmed at booking.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under 5; each additional seat is added for a fee confirmed when you book. Small pets ride along with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier. Tell us both at booking so the right vehicle is set aside.
Cancel 24 or more hours before pickup for a full refund. Within 24 hours of the pickup time, the booking is non-refundable. A booked pickup time can be moved with 24 or more hours notice, subject to availability, so message us early if your plans shift.
Payment goes through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent by WhatsApp or on the website; card and link payments carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash at pickup is not accepted, though cash to the driver is fine for the remaining balance on neighboring, Miami-side pickups. A round journey is merely double the one-way price. For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% can go to the driver on journey day.
A PortMiami or Miami-side pickup confirms with a 50% deposit, with the other 50% paid to the driver on trip day. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas — Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond — are paid in full in advance to hold the vehicle.
A round trip is priced as exactly double the one-way fare — the same per-vehicle flat rate applied in each direction. Booking both legs together mainly saves you coordination: one reservation, one driver arrangement, and a return already locked in before you sail.
Three private vehicle tiers cover every cruise party, with room for luggage in each. Pick by headcount:
On the outbound leg the number that governs the pickup is not the published sailing hour. Cruise lines assign a check-in appointment in their app and print an all-aboard time on the boarding documents, and both fall earlier than departure. Send us whichever of the two comes first and the collection is set against it, with room left for the security screening and document check that every passenger clears before walking up the gangway.
Daytime hours are 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. A journey that falls outside that window carries a small off-hours amount added to the flat rate.
Nothing changes for you. The driver tracks your ship’s arrival and disembark timing and re-times the pickup at no extra cost when the ship is slow to clear. Because the fare is flat, a late dock never raises the price — the vehicle merely meets you whenever you actually step off.
The driver meets your group curb-side at your PortMiami cruise terminal as you exit, and holds a printed name sign when you request one on WhatsApp beforehand. The night before, we text the driver’s name, vehicle model, and license plate so you know exactly who and what to look for.
Yes — disembark-morning pickups are the core of this service. Book at least 24 hours ahead with your ship name and terminal, and the driver is curb-side when you come off. On heavy days with several ships turning over at once, the flat rate stays the same even as terminal traffic slows.
The price is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the single flat fare shown above. A solo traveler and a family of five in the same Black SUV pay the identical rate. A round journey is just double that one-way price, applied in each direction.
Each passenger travels with one checked bag plus one carry-on, and there is room for cruise luggage in every tier. Bringing extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van before your journey.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Shipboard internet stops working the moment you walk off, and handsets often take several minutes to latch onto a land network again — longer for anyone traveling on a foreign SIM with roaming switched off. Save the driver’s number to your contacts and jot it on paper the night before, while you still have a connection, so a quick call is possible even if messaging is not.
Send your ship name, disembark date, group size, and Watergate address and we confirm the vehicle, the flat rate, and your driver. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead to lock the price, then look for the driver’s name, vehicle, and plate the evening before your journey. Message us any time — service runs 24/7, year-round.
