From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Castle Beach Club in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Castle Beach Club is an oceanfront address in Mid-Beach, standing right on Collins Avenue at 5445 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach. It sits on the sand itself, so the shoreline is only steps from the door. Mid-Beach reads quieter than South Beach while keeping the same open Atlantic in front of it, which is why many guests trade the ship’s pool for real beach the same afternoon they come off the water.
The surrounding stretch of Collins Avenue is a run of oceanfront resorts, and the Miami Beach Boardwalk threads along the shore within simple reach of the stay. A few blocks south you reach the Bass Museum, while the Faena District and Indian Creek both sit neighboring in the same Mid-Beach pocket. It is a walkable, ocean-facing part of the island rather than a nightlife strip, so the pace slows the moment you reach.
Coming off a cruise, the appeal is simple: your room, the beachwalk, and the water are grouped together in one place, so the first afternoon can be as simple as dropping the bags and stepping onto the sand. The building keeps its own guest services on the hotel side, from luggage holds to early check-in questions, handled directly through Castle Beach Club rather than through us. Our part ends at the curb, with your group and luggage delivered to the right entrance on Collins Avenue, ready to start the stay without a wait at the terminal or a scramble for a ride.
After you clear the terminal on Dodge Island, your chauffeur is coordinated by message and meets your group at the curb, so there is no line to join and no luggage left on the sidewalk. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the terminal, and the run to Castle Beach Club is a single direct leg north, with no changes and no shared stops, your group alone in the car.
From the port, the driver takes the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 across to Mid-Beach, a journey that normally runs about 28 to 30 minutes depending on causeway traffic. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, the pace of customs never costs you the ride. You step off the water, the driver is already staged at the correct terminal, and the next stop is the door at Castle Beach Club.
