From $405 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Angler’s Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Angler’s Inn sits in the Cape Coral area of Southwest Florida, a region defined by its water. Hundreds of navigable canal miles thread through the neighborhoods here, and short bridges carry you across to Fort Myers and out toward the islands. It is a quiet, low-key corner of the coast, the kind of place that rewards travelers who want to slow down after a week at sea. For questions about rooms, parking, and check-in, the property’s own page is the source to rely on.
What you locate on arrival is a landscape built for the outdoors. Four Freedoms Park and Sun Splash Waterpark are close by, and Fourmile Cove Ecological Preserve and Rotary Park sit neighboring as well, both worth an afternoon if you stay on after the cruise. The canals give the whole area its rhythm, with boat access woven right into daily life and open water never far in any direction.
Because it lands you well west of the city, Angler’s Inn works top as a base for a real stay rather than a quick overnight. You step out of the vehicle with your bags already handled and settle into a slower pace, close to the parks, the preserve, and the bridges that reach the coast. It is a simple fit for families and small groups coming off the ship who want room to spread out and a spot that feels more like the real Gulf side of Florida than a hectic terminal town.
Your chauffeur is waiting when you clear disembarkation at the Port of Miami cruise terminal, with the pickup timed to your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed clock. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, and from the pier it is one run west along I-595 to the door of Angler’s Inn, no stops and no transfers along the way. The whole group rides together in a vehicle that is yours alone.
Plan on roughly 170 miles and about 176 to 185 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and the traffic on the day. Cruise mornings put thousands of passengers ashore at once, so that stretch of highway is already priced into the plan and built into your pickup timing. You set the departure and the pace, and the fare stays locked from the moment you book.

Every policy in full: FAQ
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Angler’s Inn took all the stress out of it.
After a week at sea I only wanted a clean handoff, so a private car from the terminal to Angler’s Inn was money well spent.
We came off the ship worn out from a great week and a driver already waiting to take us to Angler’s Inn set the tone for the rest of the trip. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship. Getting to Angler’s Inn straight from the terminal meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
We got off the ship with the kids and a mountain of luggage, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Angler’s Inn so easy. We had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was no guessing at the port.
Sin fila de taxis — bajé del barco y el auto ya esperaba, y directo a Angler’s Inn. Lo reservaría de nuevo. El van estaba limpio, fresco y cómodo, un alivio con el calor de Miami.
