A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Burnt Store Marina rides in a chauffeured black SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver meets the group curbside at the cruise terminal, loads the luggage, and heads west on the cross-state I-75 corridor toward Charlotte Harbor’s Gulf Coast — one fixed, per-vehicle price locked at booking.
The rate is flat and per vehicle, set by group size and locked when you book — no surge, no change for traffic or demand.
The best way to reach Burnt Store Marina from your cruise is a private door-to-door transfer sized to your group. Pick the black SUV for up to five cruise passengers, or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van when six to nine or ten to fourteen travelers ride together. Book at least 24 hours before your sailing so the vehicle and route are confirmed; last-minute requests are still reviewed by hand, though availability is not promised. On arrival, your driver is already waiting curbside as you clear the terminal, helps load every bag, and drives you straight to the marina — no transfers, no shared stops, no waiting for other parties to fill a seat. The same private service runs in reverse when you head back to catch your ship, and your driver’s name, vehicle, and plate arrive by text the day before.
Both directions run the same private way. We collect you at the terminal the day you disembark, and we carry you from the marina back to PortMiami in time for your next sailing. One reservation can cover the round trip, with the return leg planned around your ship’s boarding window.
The ride to Burnt Store Marina is one of our longer Gulf-Coast runs, crossing the full width of the Florida peninsula from the Atlantic cruise terminals to Charlotte Harbor. Because the drive spans open interstate rather than city streets, the pace stays steady once you clear the port. Expect the slowest stretch right at disembarkation: mornings when several ships empty at once bunch traffic around PortMiami, while midday and early-afternoon departures roll out of the terminal far more freely. Your driver watches the roads and your ship’s clearance together, so the pickup flexes to real conditions instead of a rigid slot. On a transfer this long, a single short comfort stop for a restroom or a snack can be arranged on route — just mention it when you book. Beyond that, the trip runs direct from the terminal curb to the marina gate.
Every vehicle on this route is private and reserved for your party alone. The lead choice for couples and small families is the black SUV or SUV XL, seating up to five with cruise bags aboard. Larger groups move in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: one configuration seats six to nine, a bigger one carries ten to fourteen. All three are climate-controlled, come with a bilingual driver, and carry onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot. You never share the cabin with strangers, and the whole group travels together in one vehicle rather than splitting across cars. Choose the size that matches your headcount and the pile of luggage you are wheeling off the ship, and we hold that exact vehicle for your pickup time.
Each passenger’s fare includes one checked bag plus one carry-on, and the SUV and Sprinter vans both leave real room for bulky cruise luggage. 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 van.
Searching for a shuttle brings you to the same private service — there is no shared van here. Your whole group rides for one flat, per-vehicle price shown in the rates above, not a per-seat fare. Larger parties simply move up to a Sprinter van at its own set rate.
Burnt Store Marina is a large private boating community on Charlotte Harbor, along Southwest Florida’s Gulf Coast near Punta Gorda. The setting is calm and waterfront: a deepwater marina, sailboats and powerboats at the docks, a golf course, and easy access to the harbor’s fishing grounds and open Gulf water. It trades the high-rise energy of the cruise coast for palm-lined streets, wide water views, and a relaxed marina-village pace. Waterfront dining, boat services, and quiet residential lanes fill the community, with the wider Punta Gorda and Charlotte County area nearby for shops and errands. You can read more on the Burnt Store Marina community site and find dock and facility details in the local marina information.
Most visitors stay right within the marina community, which offers waterfront rentals, or across the surrounding Punta Gorda and Charlotte Harbor area with its residential and vacation lodging. Whatever your address in the community or the nearby harbor towns, your driver delivers you door-to-door — just give the exact street when you book.
Burnt Store Marina is gated, quiet, and built around the water. Expect boat slips and dry storage, a golf course, tennis and pickleball, waterfront restaurants, and long views over Charlotte Harbor. It suits cruisers who want a peaceful Gulf-Coast base rather than a busy tourist strip after their sailing.
The fare covers the whole ride, not just the seat. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are included, so nothing is added for the roads you cross. Every booking comes with a bilingual driver (English plus Spanish or Portuguese), onboard WiFi from a mobile hotspot, and help loading and unloading your cruise bags at both ends. Courtesy waiting is built in — 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from your agreed pickup time and 15 minutes for hotel pickups; longer waits are billed afterward in half-hour blocks. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp when carried in a pet carrier. Your first child seat for a child under five is free; any additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. The driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate reach you by text the day before your trip.
The fare leaves out food and drinks, driver gratuity (optional and always appreciated), parking fees, and any unscheduled stops. A short, pre-arranged stop near the route can usually be added, though a small fee may apply. Anything beyond the standard bag allowance is confirmed by WhatsApp before your trip.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website; a card or link payment adds a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted, though a balance can be settled with the driver where noted. A pickup that starts at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side confirms with a 50% deposit, and the remaining 50% can go to the driver on trip day. Reverse-direction trips picked up from farther areas — Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond — are paid in full ahead of time. Book at least 24 hours out; cancel with 24 or more hours notice for a full refund, while a cancellation inside 24 hours is non-refundable. We run 24/7, year-round, with more than five years on the road.
Every rate is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the one flat price on the list above, whether two or five share the SUV, or a full party fills a Sprinter van. Nothing changes for traffic or demand once the fare is locked at booking.
A round trip is simply double the one-way fare. For a booking that starts on the PortMiami side, half is paid as a deposit to confirm and the other half goes to the driver on trip day. That single reservation covers both your terminal pickup and the return leg to your ship.
Booking with us puts a private vehicle and a named driver entirely at your group’s service. The fare is fixed when you reserve — it never surges for peak demand, rain, or a busy disembarkation morning. Your driver is bilingual, texts their details the day before, and stays reachable by direct WhatsApp message rather than an anonymous app queue. You never share the cabin, and no stranger’s stop lengthens your ride. Bags are loaded and unloaded for you at the curb, and the same team handles your trip to or from Port of Miami and Burnt Store Marina in either direction. For cruise travelers juggling a sailing schedule and a pile of luggage, one reserved vehicle with a real person coordinating it is far simpler than improvising a ride after you dock.
Nothing extra — a late arrival costs you no more. Your driver tracks your ship’s real disembark timing and re-times the pickup automatically when the vessel docks behind schedule. There is no re-booking and no penalty; the reserved vehicle simply waits for your actual clearance and meets you when you step off.
Your driver meets the group curbside, right outside your assigned PortMiami cruise terminal, as you clear the building with your luggage. Ask on WhatsApp in advance and they will hold a name sign. Courtesy waiting covers 30 minutes at the terminal from the agreed time, so there is no rush to the curb.
Yes. Beyond this marina route, we run private transfers from PortMiami to Miami International Airport and to Miami-side hotels and downtown. Pickups start at PortMiami or MIA; from there we drop off across South Florida. Tell us your terminal or address and group size, and we size the right private vehicle.
Yes — we drop off well beyond Miami. A private transfer from PortMiami can take you to Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, their airport-area hotels, or points farther up the coast. Because these start on the Miami side, they confirm with a deposit; longer reverse pickups are prepaid in full.
Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 6 PM carry no surcharge. Outside that window, a modest after-hours charge applies to cover the off-hours schedule:
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
