A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and Island Walk 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 at the PortMiami cruise terminal, loads the luggage, and drives door-to-door to the Island Walk community on Florida’s Gulf Coast — one fixed fare, no surge.
Each price below covers the whole vehicle for a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Island Walk, with tiers set by the size of your cruise group.
The price is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides together for the single flat rate that matches your passenger count, so a family of five pays the SUV rate and splits nothing extra. Add luggage, car seats, or a stop request without changing the fare bracket.
The most direct way is a private, reserved vehicle that goes straight from the cruise terminal to your door. Select the black SUV for up to five passengers, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to nine, or the larger Sprinter for ten to fourteen. After your ship clears, the driver waits curbside at the PortMiami terminal, helps load and stow cruise luggage, and pulls away for a single door-to-door run to Island Walk — no line, no transfer, no second leg. There is ample of room for suitcases, carry-ons, and the odd oversized bag, so the whole group and its gear travel together. To book, message the operator on WhatsApp or the website with your ship, terminal, date, group size, and drop-off address, and the reservation is confirmed with the vehicle held for your party alone.
The vehicle is private and reserved for your party only — nobody else shares the ride, and there is no pooled seating or scheduled route to wait on. The fare is a flat rate locked at the moment you book, so peak demand and traffic never move the number you agreed to. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths every step from the terminal curb to the front gate. Booking runs through direct WhatsApp contact, so questions obtain a real reply instead of an app queue, and the same driver stays with your group from pickup to drop-off. Cruise families travel with strollers, coolers, and stacks of luggage, and the driver helps load and unload it all, then delivers you straight to the Island Walk address you supply — a organized, door-to-door trip built around a cruise schedule, not a rideshare’s.
The trip is a longer highway run that crosses the peninsula, from the Atlantic-side cruise port to the Gulf Coast community where Island Walk sits. Because it is a cross-state distance, plan it as a comfortable half-day journey rather than a swift hop, and know the ride is smooth and climate-controlled the whole way. On disembarkation mornings the streets right around the terminal move slowly, especially when several ships empty at once, so the first stretch out of the port is the busiest part; the open highway that follows is far quicker. The driver watches your ship’s timing and sets the pickup to match when you actually clear, so nobody circles the block waiting. Because it is a long-distance transfer, one short comfort stop for a restroom break or a snack can be arranged on the way, keeping kids and grandparents fresh before you reach the door.
Island Walk is a gated residential community of palm-lined streets, lakes, and walking paths, wrapped around a town-center of everyday conveniences on Florida’s southwest coast. The setting is calm and green — a place people call home rather than a strip of high-rises — with the wider Naples region’s Gulf beaches, golf, and easygoing dining within the surrounding region. Whether you are visiting family inside the gates or basing a stay here after a cruise, the driver takes you to the exact address so you arrive settled, not stranded at a distant lot. For community details, hours, and gate information, see the official Island Walk Naples community portal. Share the resident name, street, or gate you need at booking, and the driver routes to that entrance directly.
The surrounding area has the relaxed, coastal-suburban feel of Southwest Florida — quiet residential streets, shopping and casual restaurants a short local drive away, and the Gulf’s beaches and golf across the broader Naples region. It is well suited to families and multi-generational groups who want a calm base after cruise week.
Pick the tier that matches your headcount and luggage — every choice is private and reserved for your party alone.
The rate is all-in for the drive itself. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are already covered, so nothing gets added at the gate or the pump. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, keeping kids streaming and adults checking flights or messages along the way. Courtesy waiting is built in — 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed pickup time, and 15 minutes for a hotel pickup — which absorbs the normal shuffle of clearing a ship or checking out. Your driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate are texted the day before, so you know exactly who to look for, and the driver loads and unloads your cruise luggage at both ends. What is not billed extra keeps the trip predictable; what is optional is spelled out below so nothing about the fare comes as a surprise.
Food and drinks, driver gratuity, parking costs, and unscheduled stops sit outside the fare. Gratuity is optional and always appreciated. A short, pre-arranged stop nearby can be added at booking, and a small fee may apply. Waiting beyond the included courtesy window is billed in 30-minute blocks.
Yes. The first child seat for a child under five is free — just request it at booking. Each additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed when you reserve, so tell us how many little ones are riding and their ages, and the seats are installed and ready at the terminal curb.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a proper pet carrier for the ride. Let the operator know at booking so the right vehicle and space are set aside, and your companion travels with the family from the terminal straight to the Island Walk door.
Babies and toddlers are easy to leave out of a headcount, yet each one usually arrives with a seat, a pram and a bag of their own. Tell us how many people are traveling regardless of age, and note which children need restraints and roughly how old they are. It is the difference between the right vehicle arriving and a rearrangement at the curb.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website; card or link transactions add a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted, though the driver-day balance can be settled in cash where a deposit applies. A round trip is merely double the one-way price, booked as a single reservation covering both legs. For a pickup that starts at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side — the main direction of this route — a 50% deposit confirms the booking, with the remaining 50% payable to the driver on trip day. The rate is per vehicle and fixed at booking, so the total you approve is the total you pay, with no surge and no traffic adjustment layered on afterward.
For this PortMiami-side pickup, a 50% deposit locks the reservation and the other 50% goes to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas, such as Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond, are paid in full in advance to hold the vehicle for that longer run.
The typical allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and the vehicles are sized with real room for cruise luggage — the stacked suitcases, duffels, and shopping a week at sea produces. Because the SUV and both Sprinter vans have generous cargo space, groups rarely feel squeezed, and the driver handles the loading and unloading at the terminal and at your door. If your group is traveling heavy, the fix is simple: message the operator on WhatsApp before the trip so space is confirmed ahead of time, or the booking is sized up to a larger van that swallows the extra load. Nothing here is a hard cap meant to leave bags behind; the goal is to obtain every passenger and every piece of gear into one reserved vehicle for the single run to Island Walk.
Message the operator on WhatsApp before your trip with the count and rough sizes. We confirm the space in your chosen vehicle or size the booking up to a larger van so everything fits. Sorting it in advance means the driver arrives with the right room and no reshuffling at the curb.
Trips inside our daytime window carry no added charge. Pickups scheduled outside those hours add a small surcharge, shown below by vehicle so you can see it before you confirm.
Nothing on your end — the driver tracks your ship’s arrival and disembark timing and re-times the pickup at no extra cost when the vessel docks late. You never re-book or pay a change fee for a delay outside your control. Just head to the terminal curb when you clear, and the reserved vehicle is there.
Yes. A booked pickup time can be shifted with at least 24 hours of notice, subject to availability. Message the operator on WhatsApp with the new time and the driver’s schedule is adjusted. Same-day changes tied to a late ship are handled automatically through ship tracking, no request needed.
The driver meets your group curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, right where passengers exit after clearing the ship. Request a name sign in advance over WhatsApp and the driver holds it up so you spot the vehicle speedy. The day before, you receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate.
Yes. The driver helps load and unload cruise luggage at the terminal and again at your Island Walk door, so nobody wrestles a full luggage cart alone. Point out your bags as you exit and they go straight into the reserved vehicle while your group settles in for the ride.
Yes — disembarkation day is exactly what this service is built for. Book at least 24 hours ahead, share your ship and terminal, and the driver tracks the debark and meets you curbside when you clear. The reserved vehicle takes your group and its luggage straight to Island Walk in one run.
Our “shuttle” is a fully private Sprinter van, never a shared or pooled ride. The whole group travels for the one flat per-vehicle rate that matches your passenger count, shown in the price list above — six-to-nine and ten-to-fourteen passenger vans each have their own fixed fare, with no per-person charge.
Yes. Book your arrival pickup and your return drop-off together as a single reservation covering both legs to or from Island Walk. The same vehicle class and driver are held for your group at both ends, so the outbound and return legs stay coordinated around your cruise and departure times.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Managed rental communities send door codes, parking passes and gate instructions by email shortly before arrival. Save those to your phone while you still have signal in port, and screenshot the code itself. Onboard connectivity is unreliable even on a good day, and arriving at a keypad with an unloaded inbox is a frustrating end to a long day.
