A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Lely Resort rides in a reserved black SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle, connected west by I-75 across Alligator Alley toward Naples. One driver, one group, no shared seats — booked ahead with your fare locked and no surge, whichever direction you journey.
Fares are flat and per vehicle, chosen by group size — your whole party rides for one locked price with nothing added for traffic or demand.
Getting to or from Naples starts with picking the vehicle that fits your party: a black SUV for up to five travelers, or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to nine or ten to fourteen. Book at least 24 hours ahead through WhatsApp or the website, share your ship name and terminal, and your ride is reserved. On cruise day the driver is already curbside as your group steps off the ship, loads the luggage, and heads out west toward Lely Resort. Departing passengers obtain the reverse: a door-to-door pickup at your Lely Resort address timed to your ship’s boarding window. Everything is door to door, one private vehicle held for your group alone, with no line to join and no other passengers collected along the way.
Every ride is a private vehicle reserved for your group and no one else — no shared seats, no pooling, no waiting on strangers. Your fare is locked the moment you book, so traffic, a wave of demand, or a hectic disembark morning never change the number you agreed to. The driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, and stays in direct contact with you over WhatsApp before and on the day. Because we work cruise terminals daily, the driver tracks your ship and adjusts the pickup when it docks late, then handles loading and unloading your cruise luggage. It is transport built around the realities of a sailing schedule: tight connections, tired families, and a lot of bags to move.
The run to Naples is one of the longer transfers we operate from PortMiami, a steady westbound highway drive rather than a speedy across-town hop. Exact timing depends on when you journey: an open-road cruise off-peak, and a slower crawl through the first stretch when several ships disembark together and the terminal roads fill. Departing travelers commonly see the lightest conditions, while disembark mornings ask for a little patience before the highway opens up. Rather than promise a single figure that peak traffic could break, we plan each pickup around your ship’s real schedule and build in time so you reach Lely Resort — or your terminal for embarkation — without a rush. Your driver watches live conditions and adjusts, so the plan matches the day you actually journey.
Lely Resort is a master-planned golf-and-country-club community in Naples, on Florida’s Gulf coast. Its character is green and unhurried: championship golf courses, a country club with resort-style amenities, and quiet residential streets wrapped around fairways and lakes. Beyond the community gates, this corner of Southwest Florida is known for its Gulf beaches, upscale shopping and dining, and an easygoing coastal pace that feels a world away from the cruise terminal you just left. You can discover the golf and club side at the Lely Resort Golf & Country Club, and see how the community is organized and maintained through the local district’s public information. Whether you are arriving to unwind after a sailing or heading back for embarkation, the drop-off is door-to-door at your address inside the community.
Lely Resort itself is a residential resort community, so most cruise visitors are booked into a home, villa, or club stay inside its gates. If you are looking more broadly, the greater Naples area and nearby Gulf-coast neighborhoods offer plenty of coastal lodging — we drop you door-to-door at whichever address you give us.
Golf sits at the center of daily life here, alongside the country club, spa, and dining. Step outside the community and Southwest Florida opens up: Gulf beaches, Naples’ shops and restaurants, and calm waterfront walks. We keep to ground transport and door-to-door service, so you set the destination and we handle the drive.
The flat rate covers the whole ground journey, not just the seat. A private SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van is held for your group, driven by a bilingual driver, with tolls, SunPass, and fuel already built into the price. Onboard you obtain WiFi from a mobile hotspot, and the driver handles loading and unloading your cruise luggage at both ends. Real-time ship and flight monitoring is part of the service, so a late arrival is re-timed at no cost. From there, a few practical extras — pets, child seats, luggage overflow — are simple to arrange in advance.
The fare leaves out food and drinks, driver gratuity, parking fees, and unscheduled stops. Additional child seats beyond the first each carry a small charge confirmed when you book. A short stop arranged in advance can usually be added for a small fee. Gratuity is optional and always appreciated, never required.
Small pets ride in a carrier when you let us know ahead on WhatsApp. Your first child seat for a child under five is included at no charge; each extra seat is a small confirmed fee. Message the ages and any pet plans when booking so the right vehicle is ready and waiting.
Bags of clubs are long and rigid, and two sets consume the space several suitcases would have taken. Anyone arriving from a cruise with clubs aboard should say so when booking, alongside the passenger and bag counts. We size the vehicle around the awkward items, since those are what decide whether everything and everybody fits comfortably.
Payment is simple and cashless up front. Reserve with Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee. A round journey is billed as double the one-way fare. 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 the day, cash accepted. Reverse-direction pickups from farther north — Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond — are paid in full in advance. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. Cancellations made 24 or more hours ahead are fully refunded; inside 24 hours the booking is non-refundable.
Three private vehicle tiers cover any cruise party, all reserved for your group alone. Pick by headcount and luggage, and message us if your bag count runs high so we can size up before the day.
These are the questions cruise travelers ask most about the run to or from Naples — swift answers with the real details.
Your driver tracks the ship’s real arrival and disembark timing, so a late dock does not cost you extra. The pickup is re-timed automatically at no charge, and courtesy waiting covers your first 30 minutes at the terminal once you clear customs and reach the curb.
Your driver meets your group curbside as you exit the cruise terminal, then loads your bags straight into the vehicle. Ask on WhatsApp in advance and the driver holds a name sign. Driver name, vehicle make, and plate number are texted to you the day before the trip.
Yes. Book at least 24 hours ahead and we collect you the morning you disembark. Courtesy waiting covers 30 minutes at the terminal, giving your group time to clear customs and gather luggage before heading out west toward Lely Resort at your own pace.
The price is per vehicle, never per person. Whether one traveler or a full group of fourteen rides, the flat rate shown above stays the same, and a round trip is simply double the one-way fare. No per-head charges are added at any point.
Each passenger travels with one checked bag plus one carry-on, and there is room for cruise luggage in the SUV or private van. For extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp beforehand and we confirm the space or size up to a larger van.
A private shuttle here means a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van reserved only for your group, not a shared ride. You pay the single flat van rate listed above, priced per vehicle rather than per seat, so the whole party travels together for one fixed fare with nothing added for surge.
Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 6 PM carry no surcharge. Pickups scheduled outside that window add a small fee that keeps the same flat, per-vehicle logic:
For a long westbound run like this, an app’s surge pricing can climb speedy and unpredictably. Here is how a booked, flat-fare private transfer compares head to head:
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
| Feature | Us | Uber | Lyft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Flat rate locked at booking | Surges 1.5×–4× at peak | Surges 1.5×–4× at peak |
| Vehicle | Black SUV reserved for your group | Driver’s own car | Driver’s own car |
| Cruise terminal meet-and-greet | Driver waits at the terminal with your name | Curbside only after you book | Curbside only after you book |
| Ship arrival tracking | Yes — free re-timing if your ship docks late | No — you re-book if delayed | No — you re-book if delayed |
One booking, one coordinated pickup, significantly lower cost than an Uber Black or Lyft Lux surge.

Access to the community runs through a staffed entrance where visitors are checked before the barrier lifts. Ask your host, or the rental agency, to add the arrival to the gate list in advance and tell us the surname it sits under. Doing that from the ship the night before is far simpler than doing it from the gate at dusk.
Lock your fare now and journey to or from Naples in a private vehicle sized to your group. Send your ship name, terminal, date, headcount, and any pet or child-seat needs over WhatsApp or the website, and we confirm your driver. Driver name, vehicle, and plate reach by text the day before pickup, so cruise morning is one less thing to think about.
