From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Bayshore Inn & Docks in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
Bayshore Inn & Docks sits in Naples, out on Florida’s Gulf coast, and it marks the far end of your ride from the cruise terminal. As the name suggests, it pairs a place to stay with its own waterside docks, so travelers who like being close to the boats and the water tend to settle in effortlessly. Your chauffeur brings you straight to the entrance with your bags, rather than leaving you to sort out the final stretch on your own after a long day at sea.
Naples itself is the reward waiting at the end of the drive. This is the polished side of the Gulf, where Fifth Avenue South lines up block after block of white-tablecloth dining, the historic pier draws a crowd as the sun goes down, and the Everglades spread out just past the edge of town. Once your bags are down, the rhythm of the place leans toward a slow evening stroll rather than a rush to anywhere.
A handful of Naples landmarks sit within simple reach of guests staying here. The Naples Pier and Fifth Avenue South are natural first stops once you have come ashore, while Third Street South and the Naples Botanical Garden are close by for a calmer afternoon. For the details that matter on the day — rooms, parking, and check-in times — the property remains the top place to confirm directly, since those specifics can shift with the season.
The journey runs from the cruise terminal straight through to the door of Bayshore Inn & Docks, with your luggage riding in the vehicle the whole way. Your driver is already waiting when you clear the terminal, so there is no line to join and no scramble for a car. From the port it is one steady run west along I-75, a drive that normally takes about 132 to 143 minutes depending on the day’s traffic.
Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, with thousands of passengers stepping off ships at once, so the pickup is set to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock time. You clear customs, walk your bags to the curb, and step into a vehicle reserved for your group alone. From there it is a single, direct ride to Naples — your own climate, your own space, and stops only when you ask for them.

There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags.

Viaje cómodo, sin esperas, y un conductor que manejó la terminal como un experto. Recomendado.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to Bayshore Inn & Docks. No line to stand in — we just went straight from the curb into the car. The child seat was already installed, which was one less thing to worry about.
A group of us came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the port to Bayshore Inn & Docks. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Bayshore Inn & Docks, it was well worth it. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
