A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Lely rides in a chauffeured black SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver meets your group curbside at the cruise terminal, loads the luggage, and heads west on I-75 toward the Naples region — door to door, no surge, no shared seats.
The fare is a flat, per-vehicle rate locked at booking — select the vehicle that fits your cruise group, and the price never moves for traffic, demand, or the time of day.
A private door-to-door transfer, booked ahead, is the practical way to move a cruise group to Lely. Pick the vehicle that matches your headcount — the black SUV for up to five, the private Sprinter van for six to nine, or the larger private van for ten to fourteen — and the whole vehicle is held for your party alone. On arrival, your driver is waiting curbside as you exit the terminal and helps load the cruise luggage. From PortMiami the route pulls out on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) and picks up I-75 heading west toward the Naples region, ending at your exact Lely drop-off address. To set it up, send your ship name, sailing date, group size, and destination address on WhatsApp at least 24 hours before pickup; there’s no shared ride and no meter running.
Every booking puts a private vehicle and a bilingual driver at your service — no strangers sharing your seats, and English paired with Spanish or Portuguese so requests are simple. The driver assigned to you reserves the whole SUV or Sprinter van for your group alone, texts you their name, vehicle, and plate the day before, and physically loads and unloads your cruise bags. You book and stay in touch over one WhatsApp thread, from the first quote to the curbside handshake. The fare you agree to is the fare you pay — no peak-hour surge and no demand pricing tacked on later. We run around the clock, every day of the year, with more than five years moving cruise passengers through PortMiami, so an early debark or a late-evening sailing is routine rather than a scramble.
Yes. Every driver is bilingual, pairing English with Spanish or Portuguese, so giving directions, confirming your drop-off, or asking for a quick stop is straightforward for international cruise travelers. You handle all the arranging in plain English over WhatsApp before the trip, too.
The drive to Lely is a longer highway run to the Naples side of Southwest Florida, so plan it as a genuine cross-region transfer rather than a swift downtown hop. Two things shape the clock: the crush around the cruise terminal on disembark mornings, and how heavily westbound I-75 is flowing that day. Off-peak, mid-morning departures roll smoothly, while a peak departure into rush hour or a multi-ship debark day naturally runs longer. Rather than promise an exact minute count for a route we plan around live conditions, your driver gives you a realistic pickup time for your ship and sailing when you book, then watches the day’s traffic so you reach Lely without a rush.
When several ships empty at once, the streets around the terminal and the westbound highway both fill up, which can stretch the ride. Your driver plans the pickup around that congestion and the day’s conditions so your group still reaches Lely comfortably.
Three private vehicle tiers cover cruise groups from a couple to a large family or friend group, each held exclusively for your party.
Not sure which fits? Send your headcount and bag count on WhatsApp and we’ll match the right vehicle.
Lely sits in the Naples region of Southwest Florida, a peaceful stretch of golf communities, residential streets, and simple access to the region’s Gulf-coast shopping and beaches. It reads far quieter than downtown Miami — leafy, low-rise, and geared to slow-paced days.
Visitors usually base themselves across the wider Naples area, choosing neighborhoods by whether they want to be closer to the golf communities, the town-center shopping, or the Gulf beaches to the west. Wherever you land, your driver delivers you straight to your exact address.
The surrounding Naples area leans toward golf, quiet residential living, and unhurried Gulf-coast days — rounds of golf, easygoing shopping, and beach time rather than big-city nightlife. It’s a relaxed contrast to the cruise crowds you just left behind at the terminal.
The flat rate is genuinely door-to-door: it folds in every toll, SunPass charge, and gallon of fuel, plus onboard WiFi and the driver’s assist with your bags. Nothing about the drive itself is billed on top.
The fare excludes food and drinks, driver gratuity, parking fees, and unscheduled stops. A short stop arranged in advance can usually be accommodated, though a small fee may apply. Gratuity is entirely optional and always appreciated, never added automatically.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under five; each additional child seat carries a small extra fee confirmed when you book. Just tell us the number and ages of the children on WhatsApp so the right seats are installed before pickup.
Pay by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website; full cash at pickup isn’t accepted. Card and link payments carry a small 4% bank fee. A round journey is merely double the one-way, booked as one reservation so the same driver and vehicle handle both legs.
A pickup that starts at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side confirms with a 50% deposit; the other 50% is paid to your driver on trip day, and cash is fine for that portion. Reverse-direction pickups from farther out, such as Broward or Palm Beach, are paid in full ahead of time.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the one flat price tied to the vehicle class you choose, so filling the SUV or van spreads the cost across everyone rather than charging each seat. A round trip is double that one-way, per vehicle.
The village and the golf resort next to it carry almost the same name, and a booking that gives only that word could mean either. Send the community exactly as your confirmation writes it, with the street and postal code. It is a small distinction locally and a significant one for a vehicle arriving after a four-figure mileage week at sea.
Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 6 PM carry no surcharge. Trips that start outside that window add a small amount, based on your vehicle:
Yes — there’s room for cruise luggage in every vehicle. The typical allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and the driver loads and unloads it for you. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the journey and we’ll confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van.
Your driver tracks your ship’s real-time arrival, so a late dock merely re-times your pickup at no extra charge — you don’t re-book or pay a surge. The 30-minute terminal courtesy window starts from the adjusted time, giving your group room to clear customs and collect bags.
Your driver meets you curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, right where passengers exit after clearing customs. Ask on WhatsApp and they’ll hold a name sign for your group. Courtesy waiting covers 30 minutes at the terminal from your agreed time, so a normal customs line is never a problem.
No credit card is required to book with us. Confirm your transfer with Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent through WhatsApp or our website — whichever is easiest for your group. Full cash at pickup isn’t accepted, but these app and link options create locking your ride swift and card-free.
Book at least 24 hours ahead and send your ship name and arrival date on WhatsApp so the driver can align with your debark. Request a name sign if your group is large, flag any extra or oversized bags early, and mention children’s ages so the free first child seat is ready. On hectic multi-ship mornings, a little buffer keeps things peaceful.

Away from the main highway the approach roads run dark, with long gaps between junctions and driveways set well back. Ask whoever is meeting you to describe the turn — a shop on the corner, a fence color, the road you leave the highway by — and send it with the address. Small landmarks beat map pins once the sun is down.
Lock your Port of Miami to Lely transfer at least 24 hours ahead — send your ship name, sailing date, group size, and drop-off address, and we’ll confirm the vehicle, driver, and pickup time. Same-day requests are reviewed when possible. Message or call to book.
