From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Abaco Beach Resort & Boat Harbour in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Abaco Beach Resort & Boat Harbour pairs a waterfront resort with a working boat harbour, so the name tells you most of what to anticipate: a place organized around the water, where the marina and the lodging sit side by side. For a group stepping off a cruise, that combination makes it a simple first stop — somewhere to settle in, drop the bags, and let the pace slow down after days at sea.
It lies roughly 42 road miles from PortMiami, a run of about 41.9 miles that the drive follows along I-95 rather than a patchwork of surface streets. That keeps the trip predictable: one main highway, one destination, and a resort address the chauffeur is already routed to before your ship ties up. Because the leg is direct, you spend the time between the terminal and the harbour resting instead of navigating.
When you pull in, the setting does the talking — a resort built around its boat harbour, with the water close and the arrival unhurried. Your chauffeur brings the vehicle to the entrance, unloads every bag, and hands the group off at the door rather than the curb of a distant lot. Whether you are checking in for a longer stay or using the resort as a base for the days around the cruise, the handoff is the same: bags out, party together, and the ride finished the moment you step inside.
The ride is a single leg. After you clear disembarkation, your chauffeur is already staged at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, coordinated by message as you come off so the meeting point matches where you actually exit. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the terminal curb, and the group travels together — the car is reserved for your party alone, with no extra stops added to the run.
From there it is about 41.9 miles up I-95, a trip that generally takes 62 to 77 minutes depending on the hour. Traffic on the highway is the only real variable, which is why the pickup keys to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a fixed slot. Fuel and typical tolls are already built into the fare, so nothing is added along the way — the chauffeur simply drives the one direct leg and pulls in at Abaco Beach Resort & Boat Harbour.
