From $150 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Dee Jay Beach Resort 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.
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.
Dee Jay Beach Resort sits in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a town that has stayed a genuine beach village while the coast around it grew tall. There are no high-rise walls here between you and the water. The streets keep the low-rise, walkable feel of an older Florida shore town, and the resort places you inside that pace rather than off on some distant strip. When you reach, the sand and the ocean are the center of things, and everything else is a short walk from the front door.
What sets this stretch apart is the reef. A living coral reef lies close enough to shore that you can wade in and snorkel straight off the sand, no boat required, which is a rare thing on the mainland. Anglin’s Fishing Pier reaches out over the water neighboring and gives the village its landmark and its gathering point. Small inns and low buildings line the blocks behind the beach, and Datura Avenue keeps the local shops and food within simple reach of where you are staying.
Step a little past the beach and the town keeps giving. The shore-dive reef draws snorkelers and divers who would rather skip the charter, and El Prado Park sits neighboring for a quieter break from the sun. Anything about the stay itself belongs to the resort’s own page; our part is getting your group to that front entrance in one clean run. Whatever address in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea you are headed to, the ride ends at the door with your bags beside you.
Your chauffeur meets your group at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, organized by message as you clear the exit hall, and carries your bags from the curb into the vehicle. Ships rarely release everyone at one exact minute, so the pickup is staged around your ship’s actual arrival, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in to absorb customs and the luggage hall. You walk out, the car is there, and the vehicle is yours alone for the journey.
From the port the driver follows I-95 north for the roughly 36-mile run to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Plan on 60 to 75 minutes depending on the hour, with traffic on I-95 the only real variable, which is exactly why the pickup follows your ship rather than a slot cut to the minute. Tolls and fuel are already in the flat rate, so nothing is added on the day, and the ride ends at the entrance of Dee Jay Beach Resort with your bags brought to the curb beside you.

Ruta inteligente. Auto limpio. Conductor amable.
Mi esposa y yo queríamos un traspaso limpio afuera de la terminal, así que reservamos un viaje privado a Dee Jay Beach Resort antes de zarpar. Teníamos una confirmación clara, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin paradas ajenas — un alivio tras una semana a bordo.
My wife and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to Dee Jay Beach Resort before we even sailed. We went from the terminal to a real bed with nothing to worry about in between.
My partner and I had a great sailing and capped it off with a private car waiting right at the terminal to take us to Dee Jay Beach Resort — not one worry at the terminal. Booking was simple, we got a solid confirmation, and everything matched what we were told.
