From $385 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Bel Air Beach Club 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.
Bel Air Beach Club sits on Estero Island, the barrier strip that carries Fort Myers Beach along Florida’s Gulf coast. It is a place built around the water rather than the road, so the first thing most travelers notice on arrival is how rapidly shoes come off. The sand here runs broad and soft, and the pace of a stay tends to follow the tide more than the clock.
The island keeps things easygoing and walkable. A short stroll brings you into the Times Square pier district, the small hub of shops, casual food, and gathering spots that anchors this part of Fort Myers Beach. From there the beach opens out in both directions, giving you room to spread out on the sand or wander toward quieter stretches when the central strip fills up. Everything on Estero Island stays close, so once the car is unloaded you rarely need to get back behind the wheel.
What sets this piece of coast apart is the wildlife just offshore. Dolphins work the passes at either end of the island, and it is common to spot them cutting through the water without ever leaving the beach. Sunsets over the Gulf close out the day, and mornings start soft and unhurried. For a group coming straight off a cruise, Bel Air Beach Club is a natural reset — a barefoot base with the pier district, the broad sand, and the open water all within simple reach of the door where your driver drops you.
From the cruise terminal, this is one straight run across the state to the Gulf coast — roughly 157.3 miles that commonly takes between 165 and 178 minutes, depending on the hour and how I-595 is moving. Your chauffeur is staged for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in, so there is no scramble for a car after you step off the ship.
The bags go straight into the vehicle and stay there for the whole journey, and the ride is your group’s alone from the pier to the door of Bel Air Beach Club. Traffic on I-595 is really the only variable on a run this length, which is why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a fixed slot. You settle in, and the driver handles the rest of the way to Estero Island.

Se nota la organización, salió más económico que el Uber Black del viaje anterior.
Com a turma toda, combinar um carro privativo do porto até Bel Air Beach Club significou nada de correria na manhã do desembarque. Para sair do navio e chegar a Bel Air Beach Club sem estresse, valeu muito a pena. A cadeirinha da criança estava colocada antes de sairmos, o que foi uma baita ajuda naquela manhã. Sem estresse nenhum.
My wife and I weren’t up for the chaos outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Bel Air Beach Club before we even sailed. We were dropped at the entrance of Bel Air Beach Club, not on a corner with the bags. The fare was fixed when we booked, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning. Would book again for the next cruise.
There were nine of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Bel Air Beach Club was the smart move. Booking was simple, we got everything in writing, and everything matched what we were told.
