A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Marco Island runs a flat rate from $350 per vehicle, in a black SUV for up to 5 passengers or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for larger groups. The ride crosses South Florida from the cruise terminal to the Gulf Coast, door to door, with room for every piece of cruise luggage.
Pricing is flat and per vehicle — the whole group rides for one locked fare, chosen by how numerous seats you require.
The most direct way is a private, pre-booked vehicle that meets you at the cruise terminal and drives straight to your Marco Island address. You pick the vehicle by group size: a black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a private Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or a larger private van for 10 to 14. After you disembark, the driver is waiting curbside as you exit the terminal, helps load your bags, and heads out — no standing in a taxi line, no transfers, no second leg. Booking takes one message on WhatsApp or the website with your ship name, sail-in date, group size, and drop-off address; the day before, we text the driver’s name, vehicle model, and plate along with exact pickup instructions. One reservation covers the entire door-to-door run to the Gulf Coast.
The fare is fixed at booking, so demand and traffic never change the number you agreed to. Your vehicle is reserved for your group alone — never pooled with strangers — and driven by a bilingual driver who speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese. That matters most on cruise day, when schedules are tight and you are traveling with luggage and, frequently, family. The driver loads and unloads every bag, and you reach us directly by WhatsApp rather than an app queue. Because we monitor your ship’s arrival, a late dock does not cost you the ride. The result is a organized, private door-to-door transfer built around a cruise itinerary, not a generic city fare. You confirm once, and the same driver handles the whole trip from terminal to Marco Island.
The trip is a cross-state run from Miami’s Atlantic side to the Gulf Coast, so it is longer than a hop across town but still a single, uninterrupted drive. Marco Island sits at the southwestern tip of the Florida peninsula, which means the route heads west and south away from the city before reaching the island’s beach communities. Exact timing shifts with conditions: disembark mornings when several ships clear at once move slower near the port, while off-peak hours run smoother. Rather than quote a figure we cannot verify for this route, we plan every pickup with a buffer and track your ship so the driver is in position when you actually walk off. On a longer transfer like this, one short comfort stop for a restroom or snack can be arranged on route if you ask ahead.
Marco Island is a barrier island on Florida’s Gulf Coast known for broad, calm-water beaches, shelling, and a relaxed resort atmosphere quite distinct from Miami’s urban energy. The island mixes beachfront residential neighborhoods with a walkable stretch of restaurants, marinas, and boutique shopping, plus easy access to the Ten Thousand Islands and neighboring nature preserves for kayaking and wildlife tours. It draws families, couples, and boaters looking for a quieter coastal base after a cruise. For local services, events, and visitor information, the official City of Marco Island website is the place to start. Our part is simply the ground transfer — we drop you at your exact address on the island so you reach rested and ready, without renting a car or arranging a second connection.
Choose your vehicle by headcount and luggage, and every option is private to your party. The black SUV is our go-to for couples and small families. The vans step up for bigger groups traveling together off one ship.
Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built into the price — the number you book is the number you pay. The rate also covers onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, the driver meeting your group with a name sign when you request one in advance, and hands-on assist loading and unloading cruise luggage. Each passenger travels with 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, and there is genuine room for cruise luggage; if you have extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp beforehand and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van. Small pets are welcome with advance notice in a pet carrier. The first child seat is free for a child under 5, and any additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Not included: food and drinks, parking, unscheduled stops, and the optional driver gratuity.
Payment goes through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent by WhatsApp or the website; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee, and full cash at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is simply 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 be paid to the driver on trip day, cash included. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas such as Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond require full payment in advance. Cancellations made 24 or more hours before pickup receive a full refund; within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable. Book at least 24 hours ahead for confirmed availability — shorter requests are still reviewed by hand, though space is not guaranteed.
Your driver tracks your ship’s arrival and disembark timing, so a late dock re-times your pickup at no extra cost. You do not lose the ride or pay a penalty for a delay outside your control. Courtesy waiting also covers 30 minutes at the terminal from the agreed pickup time.
A large share of stays here are in high-rise condominium buildings where access runs through a lobby attendant rather than a hotel reception. Give us the building name along with the street address, and make sure whoever owns or manages your unit has left your name with the desk. Otherwise the group waits downstairs with the luggage while somebody makes calls.
The driver meets your group curbside right at the PortMiami cruise terminal as you exit, and holds a name sign if you request one on WhatsApp in advance. The day before, we text the driver’s name, vehicle model, and license plate with exact instructions, so you know precisely who and what to look for.
Yes — disembark-day pickups are our core service. Book at least 24 hours ahead with your ship name and sail-in date, and the driver plans around your actual off-time, tracking the ship so they are in position when you clear the terminal. We operate 24/7, year-round, so morning debarkations are covered.
Each passenger travels with 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, and there is real room for cruise luggage in both the SUV and the vans. Have extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or move you up to a larger private van.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price shown in the list above. A solo traveler and a group of five in the SUV pay the same fare. That makes a private transfer particularly good value for families and groups splitting a single cost.
A private shuttle to Marco Island is priced by vehicle at the flat rate in our price list above, not per seat — the whole group rides for one number. For 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 passengers, choose the private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van; the fare stays fixed from booking with no surge.
Pickups outside our daytime window of 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM carry a small after-hours surcharge, added to the flat rate.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Between June and November an itinerary occasionally changes, and ships have been known to dock a day early or late when weather reshapes a route. If your debark date shifts, message us as soon as the line announces it. Moving the booking is straightforward while the diary has room, and far harder once every other passenger is doing the same thing.
Send your ship name, sail-in date, group size, and Marco Island drop-off address, and we confirm the vehicle, the flat fare, and your pickup details. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead for guaranteed availability, and we handle the rest from the terminal curb to your door.
