Book a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Bay Harbor Islands for a flat rate from $80 per vehicle — a black SUV for up to 5 passengers, or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 14. Your driver meets your group curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, loads the cruise luggage, and drives north toward the barrier islands via I-95, door to door. Book 24 hours ahead.
The price is a flat rate per vehicle for the whole group, locked at booking — pick the tier that fits your party size.
The simplest way off the ship is a private car booked in advance for your group alone. You pick the vehicle that fits your party — a black SUV for up to 5, a Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or a larger van for 10 to 14 — and reserve it before you sail. On disembark day, your driver is already parked at the cruise terminal and meets you at the curb as you walk out, name sign in hand if you asked for one. They load the cruise luggage, you settle in, and the car heads straight to your Bay Harbor Islands address with no shared stops and no waiting for other passengers. It is a single door-to-door ride, sized to your group, arranged before you ever step off the gangway.
Message us on WhatsApp or use the website with your ship name, arrival date, party size, and drop-off address. We confirm the vehicle and flat rate, then text your driver’s name, vehicle, and plate the day before travel with exact pickup instructions.
Cruise-port transportation is a pre-booked private ride that carries passengers between the cruise terminal and their destination. Instead of hunting for a car after you disembark, the vehicle is reserved ahead of time, sized to your group, and waiting at the terminal when you walk off. For this route it means a black SUV or private Sprinter van, driven by a bilingual chauffeur, taking your group from the PortMiami cruise terminal directly to a Bay Harbor Islands address — or the reverse, back to the ship in time for boarding. Everything is arranged before the trip: the vehicle, the flat per-vehicle price, the pickup point, and the timing. There is no meter, no shared seating, and no scramble at the curb. It is point-to-point ground transport built around the rhythm of a cruise day, from luggage handling to the timing of your ship’s arrival.
The vehicle is yours alone — no shared seating, no pooled passengers, no detours to drop off strangers. The rate is a flat, per-vehicle price locked the moment you book, so it never climbs with traffic, demand, or a busy disembark morning. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the arrival for international cruise families. The driver watches your ship’s arrival and disembark timing in real time, so a late dock does not cost you the ride. They meet you curbside, help load and unload the cruise luggage, and drive you door to door. Booking and questions run straight through WhatsApp, so you reach a real person, not a queue. For cruise passengers moving with kids, tight boarding windows, and a stack of suitcases, a reserved private car removes the two biggest arrival headaches: finding a vehicle and fitting the bags.
The trip is a direct run north out of the port toward the barrier islands. When the roads are clear, it moves quickly and stays a short, easy ride. On a busy disembark morning — when several ships empty at once and beach-bound traffic builds — the terminal exits and the roads north fill up, and the same trip runs longer. Afternoon rush has a similar effect. Because your driver tracks live conditions and knows the port’s exit patterns, they choose the smoothest route out of the terminal rather than idling in the worst of it. There is no meter tied to the clock, so slower traffic never changes what you pay — the flat rate holds whether the drive is quick or crawling. If you are heading back to the ship, we build in buffer time so a slow stretch never threatens your boarding window.
Bay Harbor Islands is a pair of small, low-key islands set among Miami’s northern beachside communities. The mood is residential and calm — tree-lined streets, waterfront homes, and a walkable village feel rather than a high-rise strip. Cruise travelers use it as a quiet base close to the Atlantic beaches, with upscale shopping, cafes, and dining within the surrounding beachside area. It suits families and couples who want the ocean nearby without the crowds of the busiest tourist zones. For a fuller picture of the neighborhood, browse the official Bay Harbor Islands neighborhood guide before you arrive.
The islands sit close to the Atlantic beaches and to the surrounding beachside district, where you’ll find boutique shopping, waterfront dining, and quiet parks. It is an easy base for a relaxed beach day or an evening out, all within Miami’s calmer northern coastline rather than the busy downtown core.
Yes. Bay Harbor Islands is largely residential and quiet, with a village-style layout that feels comfortable for families traveling with children. The pace is gentle, the beaches are close, and the streets are walkable — a calmer alternative to Miami’s high-energy tourist strips for cruise passengers with kids in tow.
Every vehicle on this route is private and reserved for your group alone. Match the tier to your party size and luggage:
The flat rate covers the full ride, the tolls, and the fuel — nothing metered on top. Tolls, SunPass, and gas are built into the price, so the number you book is the number you pay. The ride includes onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, and courtesy waiting: 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from your agreed pickup time, or 15 minutes for hotel pickups. Standard luggage — 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger — is included, with room for cruise suitcases, and the driver loads and unloads for you. Not included are food and drinks, parking costs, and driver gratuity, which is optional and always welcome. Unscheduled stops are not part of the rate, though a short stop arranged in advance can be accommodated for a small fee. After the courtesy window, extra waiting is billed in 30-minute blocks.
The first child seat is free for a child under 5 — just request it when you book. Each additional child seat carries a small extra fee confirmed at booking. Tell us the ages and how many seats you need on WhatsApp so the right seats are installed before your driver arrives.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier for the ride. Let us know when you book so the driver is prepared and there is room for the carrier alongside your cruise luggage. Confirming ahead keeps the pickup smooth on disembark day.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent via WhatsApp or the website. Card or link payments add a 4% bank fee; full cash payment at pickup is not accepted, though cash to the driver on trip day is fine for the balance. A round trip is simply double the one-way rate. 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. There is no surge and no change for traffic or demand — the fare is fixed when you reserve.
For a PortMiami or Miami-side pickup, a 50% deposit locks your booking and the other 50% is paid to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas like Broward or Palm Beach require full payment in advance. We confirm the exact split when you reserve.
Large cruise groups fit in our private Sprinter vans, which seat 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 passengers in a single vehicle. For a corporate charter, a family reunion, or a group of friends disembarking together, one van keeps everyone traveling as a unit with room for all the cruise luggage. Parties larger than 14 can be handled by arranging additional private vehicles together, coordinated under one booking so every group leaves the terminal on the same schedule. Every option is private and reserved for your party alone — never a shared or pooled ride. Message us with your total headcount, ship name, and drop-off address, and we confirm the vehicle mix and the flat per-vehicle rate before you sail, so a big group steps off the ship to cars already waiting rather than splitting up at the curb.
These are the questions cruise travelers ask most about the PortMiami to Bay Harbor Islands run — from a late-docking ship to how much luggage the vehicle holds. Each answer states the real detail up front so you can book with the full picture.
Nothing changes for you. Your driver tracks the ship’s arrival and disembark timing in real time and re-times the pickup at no extra cost when the vessel docks late. You walk out and the black SUV or private van is already waiting curbside — no re-booking, no lost fare.
Your driver waits curbside right at the cruise terminal and meets your group as you exit, holding a name sign if you request one on WhatsApp beforehand. They help load and unload the cruise luggage, then drive straight to your Bay Harbor Islands address, door to door.
The rate covers 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, with room for cruise luggage. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van. The driver loads and unloads everything for you.
The flat rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one price listed above. Whether one or five ride in the SUV, the fare stays the same, locked at booking with no surge. A round trip is simply double the one-way.
Our private shuttle is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van reserved for your group at the flat per-vehicle rate above — never a shared or pooled ride. Vans seat 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 passengers, and the price is locked at booking, so it never climbs with traffic or demand.
Yes. A booked pickup can move with 24 hours or more notice, subject to availability. Book at least 24 hours ahead to secure your vehicle; under-24-hour requests are still reviewed manually, though availability is not guaranteed. Your driver’s details arrive by text the day before travel.
Yes. We handle the return leg to the cruise terminal as well as pickups from it, and a round trip is double the one-way rate. Book both legs together and your driver coordinates the return timing so you reach the ship well ahead of boarding.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. A trip that falls outside that window carries a small late-night premium:
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Super recomendado para sair do porto.
Four of us with a full week of cruise luggage. The trunk swallowed all our luggage easily. This is how travel should feel. Saved at least 15 minutes vs the rideshare line.
Éramos cuatro con todas las maletas del crucero. Traían agua fría en el auto. Cinco estrellas merecidas. La tarifa de $80 se mantuvo.
Quedamos muy conformes
La tarifa fue la misma que nos cotizaron. Ya lo pasé a mis amigos del crucero.
