From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Compass Hotel by Margaritaville in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Compass Hotel by Margaritaville sits at 4805 Tamiami Trail North in Naples, on Florida’s Gulf coast. From the cruise terminals on Dodge Island it is about 128 road miles away, reached along I-75 as the city skyline gives way to open highway and the slower pace of southwest Florida. The address puts you within easy reach of the water and the walkable heart of Naples, so the transfer ends where the vacation actually begins.
What you find on arrival is Naples at its most inviting. The Naples Pier and Third Street South are close by, and Fifth Avenue South lines up its white-tablecloth blocks a short distance on. For time outdoors, the Naples Botanical Garden and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park both sit within the area, while the Everglades wait just out the back door. It is a corner of the Gulf coast that refines rather than rushes — the historic pier at sunset, quiet beaches, and dinner blocks made for wandering.
Arriving here after a cruise has a simple rhythm. You clear your ship’s terminal, your bags come to the curb, and one direct ride carries the whole group west to the hotel entrance. Because Naples is a genuine road journey from the port, the drive is where a private vehicle earns its place — room to stretch out, your own climate, and the whole party riding together rather than scattered. Whatever you need to know about rooms, parking, or check-in belongs to the property itself, which stays the source on those details.
The ride runs door to door. Your chauffeur meets you at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, helps with every bag from the curb, and loads the luggage into the vehicle so nothing rides on your lap. From there it is a straight run west on I-75 toward Naples — about 128 miles, or roughly 132 to 143 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. The pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, so a slow disembarkation never leaves the car gone within the free waiting time.
Traffic on I-75 is the one real variable, which is why the schedule is built around your ship rather than a slot cut to the minute. The vehicle is yours alone for the journey, the group travels together, and the drop-off is right at the hotel entrance with your bags carried to the curb beside you. One reservation, one direct ride, from the terminal to Compass Hotel by Margaritaville.
