A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and San Castle rides in a reserved black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle. The route runs north up I-95 from the PortMiami cruise terminals straight to your San Castle door, with curbside meet-and-greet and room for every cruise bag.
Every fare below is per vehicle and covers your whole cruise party — choose the size that fits your group and luggage.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person — your whole cruise party rides for the one flat price listed above. Whether two travelers take the SUV or twelve fill the large private van, the rate stays fixed and split-free. No per-head charge is ever added at pickup.
Choosing the right private vehicle is the first step for a smooth cruise-day transfer. A black SUV suits couples, solo travelers, and small families with up to five seats and space for cruise bags. Larger parties book a private van for six to nine or ten to fourteen riders, so nobody splits into a second car. Your driver waits curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, meets your group as you clear the gangway, and — when you request it on WhatsApp ahead of time — holds a name sign. From there it is door-to-door: the driver loads your luggage and drives straight to your San Castle address with no extra stops. Reserving is quick over WhatsApp or the website; send your ship name, terminal, passenger count, and pickup date, and the trip is set.
Absolutely — same-day disembarkation pickups are a core part of what we do. Book at least 24 hours ahead so your vehicle and driver are locked in for your ship’s arrival date. Under-24-hour requests are still reviewed by hand, though availability on short notice cannot be promised.
Send your ship, terminal, date, and passenger count over WhatsApp or the website and we confirm your reservation directly, usually well ahead of trip day. The day before, you receive your driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate number with pickup instructions, so everything is set before you sail in.
A private vehicle reserved only for your group is the core of what we do — no shared ride, no strangers, no waiting for other passengers. Your fare is a flat rate locked at booking, so the price never surges for peak demand, holidays, or heavy disembark traffic. Every driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which keeps arrival-day logistics simple for international cruise guests. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp to set pickup details, adjust timing, or flag extra bags. Drivers help load and unload your cruise luggage, and onboard WiFi keeps the family connected on the way north. It is a coordinated, single-booking service built specifically around the tight schedules and heavy bags that come with cruise embarkation and disembarkation days.
The trip runs a single, direct route whether you ride to or from Port of Miami and San Castle, so travel time depends mainly on the hour you leave. Off-peak — mid-morning or early afternoon on a lighter dock day — the ride moves quickly and steadily. During weekday rush windows, or on mornings when several ships disembark together, expect a slower crawl out of the port district before traffic opens up. Leaving a comfortable margin on getaway day keeps the whole transfer calm and unhurried, even when the port is busy, so families with tight connections are not left rushing to their door. Your driver knows the port’s exit patterns and plans the departure around them.
Yes — it is one continuous drive with no ferry, train, or vehicle change along the way. Your driver takes a single interstate route from the terminal curb straight to your San Castle street, which keeps the trip simple even with a car full of cruise luggage and tired travelers.
San Castle is a quiet residential pocket of Palm Beach County, set between Boynton Beach and Lantana north of Miami. It is a low-key community of single-family streets rather than a tourist strip, which makes it an easy, calm place to be dropped after a busy sailing. The wider area gives cruise guests the classic South Florida mix: nearby beaches, local diners, shopping plazas, and parks a short drive from the neighborhood. If you are extending the trip, travelers often browse broader leisure ideas such as a water-park day out or a guided grand castle estate visit while mapping the rest of their vacation. Whatever your plans, the driver takes you straight to the exact San Castle street address you provide at booking, luggage and all.
Every vehicle in our fleet is private and reserved solely for your party — pick by group size and luggage.
Plan on one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, with genuine 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 everything rides comfortably.
Your rate covers the full door-to-door ride plus the essentials cruise travelers ask about most. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are already built into the price, so there is nothing to settle on the road. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, and drivers help load and unload every bag. The first child seat is free for a child under five; any additional child seat carries a small added fee confirmed when you book. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp when carried in a pet carrier. Courtesy waiting is included too — 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from your agreed pickup time, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups. What the rate does not cover is food and drink, driver gratuity, parking fees, and unplanned stops, though a short pre-arranged stop can usually be worked in.
Once the included courtesy waiting window passes, extra time is billed in 30-minute blocks. Cancellations earn a full refund with 24 or more hours notice, while bookings cancelled inside 24 hours are non-refundable. Tell us early if plans change and we adjust the pickup where availability allows.
Paying is handled online before the trip or partly on trip day, never as a full cash payment at pickup. We accept Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee. A round trip is simply double the one-way rate listed above, booked as one reservation. 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 trip day, cash accepted. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas such as Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond are paid in full ahead of the trip. Once you are booked, the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate are texted to you the day before, along with clear pickup instructions.
Your driver tracks your ship’s real arrival and disembarkation timing, so a late dock is not a problem. The pickup is simply re-timed at no extra cost — you never lose the reservation or pay a change fee. Clear the terminal at your own pace and your private vehicle will be there.
Your driver meets your group curbside right outside the PortMiami cruise terminal as you exit with your luggage. Text your ship name and terminal on WhatsApp in advance and the driver is positioned for your exact gangway. From the curb it is straight to the SUV or van — no long walk to a distant lot.
Yes — request a name sign on WhatsApp when you book and your driver will hold one at the curb, which makes finding each other easy in a crowded disembarkation rush. Send your passenger count and terminal so the meet-up is set before you even step off the ship.
Yes — beyond San Castle, we drop cruise guests from PortMiami at Miami International Airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, and other South Florida destinations in the same private SUV or van. It is the same per-vehicle rate with luggage help, ideal when your flight home leaves from a different airport than you sailed into.
Trips that fall outside our daytime window of 7 AM to 9 PM carry a small after-hours surcharge, added on top of the standard fare for late-night arrivals and very early departures.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Nos escribieron confirmando todo el mismo día. El precio cerrado nos dio tranquilidad. El auto olía a limpio y se noaba cuidado. Vale cada dólar.
Nos escribieron confirmando todo el mismo día. Hicieron una parada corta que pedimos sin problema. El maletero alcanzó para todo el equipaje del grupo. Sin duda la mejor parte del final del viaje. (para nuestro grupo de 6)

Bajamos del crucero y el chofer ya estaba esperando. Ni una queja del viaje completo. Los asientos iban muy cómodos para el viaje largo. Así da gusto viajar.
Primera vez que usamos un servicio privado en Miami. El viaje salió exactamente como lo pidieron
