A private Black SUV transfer to or from Port of Miami and Bokeelia runs at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle, with your bilingual driver meeting the group curb-side at the cruise terminal. This is a door-to-door ride across the state to Pine Island’s Gulf-coast village, in a Black SUV for up to 5 or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 14. Tolls and luggage handling are included, and the fare is locked when you book.
The prices below are per vehicle for your whole group — not per person — and are set only by how many seats you need.
The best way is a private door-to-door transfer matched to your group size. Choose a Black SUV for up to 5 passengers or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14, then your driver meets you curb-side at the cruise terminal and drives straight to your Bokeelia address. There is room for everyone’s cruise luggage, and the driver helps load and unload. Because Bokeelia sits well across the state on the Gulf coast, a single private vehicle for the whole trip is far more comfortable than piecing the journey together, especially after a long day at sea with tired families and a stack of bags. Booking is direct: send your details by WhatsApp or email and we confirm the vehicle, driver, and total before trip day.
Book at least 24 hours ahead through WhatsApp or email. Send your ship name, terminal, drop-off address, trip date, group size, and any child-seat or pet needs; we reply with the vehicle and total to confirm. An under-24-hour request is reviewed manually, but availability is not guaranteed, and a booked time can be moved with 24+ hours notice.
We reserve one private vehicle for your group and no one else — never a shared or pooled ride. The fare is a flat, per-vehicle price locked when you book, so peak demand and traffic never move it. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the arrival for international cruise travelers. Booking runs through a direct WhatsApp line, so you are messaging real people, not a queue, and the day before your trip we text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate with pickup instructions. The service runs 24/7, year-round, backed by over five years moving cruise passengers to and from the terminal — the kind of coordination a long transfer to Bokeelia deserves.
The drive from Port of Miami to Bokeelia is a long cross-state trip, so plan for most of the day around it rather than a quick hop. Bokeelia sits at the north tip of Pine Island on Florida’s Gulf coast, while the cruise terminal sits on the Atlantic side of Miami, so the route runs west and north across the peninsula. Off-peak, with light traffic, the ride moves steadily. On a disembarkation morning, when several ships clear customs at once, the roads immediately around the terminal fill up, and your driver builds that congestion into the departure plan. Season matters too: winter visitor traffic in southwest Florida runs heavier than the quiet summer weeks. The return leg follows the same corridor in reverse, so build in a comfortable buffer if you have a flight or reservation to meet on the other end.
Bokeelia is a small fishing village at the north tip of Pine Island, on the Gulf side of southwest Florida. It keeps an old-Florida, working-waterfront character — charter docks, a public fishing pier, mangrove shorelines, and tropical fruit groves rather than high-rises or crowds. Cruise travelers come here to slow down: sportfishing for tarpon and snook, sunset views over the water, fresh seafood, and easy access to the artsy village life of the wider Pine Island and Matlacha area. Read a local guide to Bokeelia for background, or take in the water over a meal at a historic waterfront lodge and restaurant. Our driver delivers you and your luggage right to your address, so you step off a full day’s travel straight into the quiet.
Lodging around Bokeelia leans small and local — waterfront cottages, vacation rentals, and low-key inns spread across the north end of Pine Island and the nearby Matlacha and Pine Island Center areas. Tell us your exact address when you book and the driver takes you door-to-door, luggage included, wherever you have arranged to stay.
Nearby, the Pine Island corridor offers fishing charters, kayak and paddleboard launches into the mangroves, seafood shacks, and the galleries and colorful cottages of Matlacha. It is a quiet, nature-first stretch of coast rather than a nightlife or shopping district — ideal for winding down in the days after a cruise.
The Bokeelia rate is all-in for the vehicle you book. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are covered, so nothing is added for the roads you cross. A bilingual driver handles the trip and helps load and unload your cruise luggage. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot so the family can stay connected across a long ride. Courtesy waiting is built in: 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from your agreed pickup time and 15 minutes for a hotel pickup; beyond that, extra waiting is billed in 30-minute blocks. Gratuity is optional and always appreciated, and any parking is passed through at cost. The price you see is the price for the whole vehicle, whatever the group size within its seat count.
Extra charges are limited and always confirmed up front. Food and drinks, driver gratuity, and parking are not included. Card or secure-link payments carry a 4% bank fee. An unscheduled detour is not part of the rate, though a short stop arranged in advance can usually be added for a small fee. Any additional child seat beyond the first also carries a small charge set at booking.
The first child seat is free for a child under 5 — just request it when you book. Each additional child seat carries a small fee we confirm at the time of booking. Give us the children’s ages on WhatsApp so the right seats are installed and ready when your driver meets you at the terminal.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier for the ride. Let us know the pet and carrier size when you book so the driver can plan space alongside your cruise luggage in the SUV or private van.
Payment is simple and handled before or on trip day. We accept Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent by WhatsApp or through the website. A full cash payment at pickup is not accepted, though cash is welcome for the balance handed to the driver on a Miami-side trip. A round trip is billed as double the one-way price, booked as one reservation so the same standard covers both legs. Give us your pickup point, drop-off address, date, group size, and any child-seat or pet needs, and we confirm the vehicle and total before anything is charged.
For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side — this route’s main direction — you confirm with a 50% deposit and pay the remaining 50% 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.
Every option is private and reserved for your group alone. Pick by headcount and luggage: a Black SUV or SUV XL seats up to 5 passengers and suits couples, small families, or a solo cruiser with plenty of bags. A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van carries 6 to 9 passengers when you are traveling with extended family or friends. A larger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van holds 10 to 14 passengers for big groups leaving the ship together. All three roll with room for cruise luggage, and if you are unsure which fits, message us your group and bag count and we will size it right before trip day.
Nothing changes on your end. We track your ship’s real arrival and disembarkation time, so if the vessel docks late or clearance runs slow, the pickup is re-timed at no extra cost. Your driver waits for when you actually walk off, and the flat fare stays exactly as booked — no re-booking, no scramble.
Yes — disembarkation-day pickups at PortMiami are our core service. Book at least 24 hours ahead and share your ship and terminal. The driver meets your group curb-side as you exit with your luggage. A courtesy 30-minute wait from the agreed time covers the usual customs and baggage shuffle before you roll out.
Yes. Beyond Bokeelia, we run private transfers from PortMiami to other destinations, including Miami International (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL) airports, in the same Black SUV or private van. Share your flight time and terminal, and the driver tracks it to keep the connection comfortable. It is the same per-vehicle pricing, with your luggage handled at both ends.
These are the questions cruise passengers ask most about getting to and from the terminal and Bokeelia. Each answer states the real detail up front — how we meet you, how luggage works, and how the private-van pricing is structured.
Your driver meets you curb-side right where you exit the cruise terminal, holding a name sign if you request one on WhatsApp ahead of time. Text us once you are off the ship and the driver guides you to the vehicle and loads your luggage, so there is no wandering the garage looking for a car.
Each passenger gets one checked bag plus one carry-on, and there is real room for cruise luggage in every vehicle. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van so nothing gets left behind.
A private van to Bokeelia is priced per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for one rate, and a round trip is simply double the one-way. There is no shared-shuttle option; the van is reserved for your group alone, with the totals set in the prices above.
Daytime hours run from 7 AM to 6 PM with no surcharge. Pickups scheduled to start outside that window carry a small surcharge:
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Éramos cuatro con todas las maletas del crucero. Todo puntual y sin ninguna sorpresa con el precio. El auto olía a limpio y se notaba cuidado.
La confirmación llegó más tarde de lo esperado, pero igual cumplieron con todo.
Pedimos a van maior para o nosso grupo. A reserva pelo WhatsApp levou cinco minutos. Contrataria de novo sem pensar duas vezes
Mi esposa encontró este servicio buscando traslados del puerto. El vioje salió exactamente como lo pidieron. Nos escribió cuando iba llegando al muelle. Repetiremos en el próximo crucero. (éramos 8 en la van y entró todo bien)
La confirmación llegó más tarde de lo esperado, pero el auto sí estaba limpio.
