From $195 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Crane’s BeachHouse Hotel & Tiki Bar in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Crane’s BeachHouse Hotel & Tiki Bar sits in Delray Beach, a coastal town on Florida’s Atlantic side that grew up as a winter art colony and still carries that creative, easygoing spirit. As the name promises, this is a beach-house-style stay with its own tiki bar — a relaxed base for travelers who desire the sand and a walkable downtown within reach rather than a large-city rush.
The setting is the draw. Delray’s Atlantic Avenue runs as a lively main street straight down toward the water, lined with cafes, shops, and simple places to eat. Delray Municipal Beach is close by when you desire your toes in the sand, and the town’s cultural side is right there too: Old School Square anchors the arts scene, and the Morikami Museum and its Japanese Gardens offer you a quiet, unexpected stop just outside the center.
Arriving after a cruise, you obtain dropped at the hotel’s own door with your bags — no hunting for the entrance, no wrestling luggage down the block. From there the whole neighborhood opens up on foot: the short stroll from the main street to the sand, the galleries and gardens for a slower day, and the tiki bar waiting when you merely desire to sit still. It is the kind of place that rewards staying an extra night, and if you do, everything Delray is known for is within a simple walk of where the car leaves you.
This is one clean run north from the cruise terminal to Delray Beach. Once your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island, the chauffeur meets you at the curb, loads the luggage, and heads out along I-95 — a single ride that ends at the hotel’s front door, with your bags staying in the vehicle the whole way. No transfers, no extra stops, and the car is staged around your ship’s arrival rather than around whatever happens to be available that morning.
Plan on roughly 77 to 92 minutes between Port of Miami and Crane’s BeachHouse Hotel & Tiki Bar, depending on the hour and the cruise-morning traffic on I-95. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, and the driver stays in touch by message as you exit the hall. Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat fare, so nothing is added on the day.

Every policy in full: FAQ
Clean car, no waiting around, and a driver who handled the terminal like a pro. Would book again. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when we needed it.

No app to fight with — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there. Getting to Crane’s BeachHouse Hotel & Tiki Bar first thing meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
