From $400 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Casaybel Resort Sanibel Florida 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Casaybel Resort Sanibel Florida sits on Sanibel Island, a barrier island off Florida’s southwest coast where the skyline stays low. There are no high-rises here — the tallest landmark is the Sanibel Lighthouse, and the rest of the island belongs to mangroves, quiet water, and sand. The resort places you within simple reach of the shoreline, so the beach is a short walk rather than a drive.
What sets Sanibel apart is what washes up on it. The island’s beaches surrender more shells than anywhere else in Florida, and guests spend their first afternoon walking the sand with their eyes down, filling a pocket. Nearby, the J.N. ‘Ding’ Darling National Wildlife Refuge protects a broad stretch of mangrove and tidal flat, home to wading birds and slow-moving water you can paddle or merely watch.
The stay puts you close to more than one beach. Bowman’s Beach and Blind Pass both fall within the Sanibel and Captiva region, giving you a choice of where to spend the day. Our drop-off covers Sanibel and Captiva and the streets around your stay, so you are left at the entrance rather than a distant lot. For rooms, parking, and check-in questions, the property itself is the best source. Numerous guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they step off, and on an island this peaceful that trade is a simple one to make.
Your ride is door to door and yours alone. After you disembark at the Port of Miami, the driver is staged at your ship’s terminal, organized by message as you clear the hall, so the wait belongs to the driver and not to you. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, and the group travels together without a single transfer along the way.
From the terminal the route follows I-595 for the run down to Sanibel, roughly 163 miles that normally takes 172 to 182 minutes. You set the departure and the pace, and the driver carries the luggage to the curb at the far end. It is one vehicle for your group, from the port straight to the resort entrance.

No app hassle — I walked off the ship and a clean, private car was waiting, then straight to Casaybel Resort Sanibel Florida. Highly recommend. It was a private car just for me — nobody else to wait on — exactly right for the morning.
My wife and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Casaybel Resort Sanibel Florida before we even sailed. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship.
After a week at sea I just wanted the ride handled, so a private car from the terminal to Casaybel Resort Sanibel Florida made the morning simple. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so I never had to rush to gather the bags.
The two of us set up a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t hunt for a ride getting over to Casaybel Resort Sanibel Florida. The SUV was fresh and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
