From $165 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Emerald Seas Beach Club in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Emerald Seas Beach Club sits along the coast where Pompano Beach meets Deerfield Beach, the stretch of shoreline that begins just north of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. This is a quieter part of the South Florida coast, shaped by Pompano’s old fishing village and the clean, well-kept sand that has earned Deerfield its Blue Wave standing. Arriving straight off a cruise, you land somewhere calm rather than on a crowded resort strip.
What you find on arrival is the shoreline almost at the door. Guests frequently step off the ship in the morning and are back on real sand the same afternoon, trading the pool deck for open water and a wide, open beach. The setting is low-key by design — this is a coast that rewards slowing down, and the club keeps the water within simple reach of wherever you are staying. Anything about the stay itself is handled through the property directly; getting you there from the pier is our part.
There is ample to fill the days if you linger after the cruise. The Pompano Beach Fishing Pier and the Deerfield Beach Pier are both close by, each a simple walk out over the water. Nearby you will also find the Pompano Beach Amphitheater for live shows and Quiet Waters Park for a green break from the sand. Together they create the Pompano and Deerfield coast a simple place to stay put for a few days rather than rush on to the next thing.
The trip begins at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, once you have cleared disembarkation. Your chauffeur is staged before you reach the curb, so the wait belongs to the driver rather than to you. From the pier it is one direct run up I-95 to the door of Emerald Seas Beach Club — roughly 44 miles that normally take about 68 to 83 minutes, depending on how the morning traffic is moving.
Your bags go straight into the vehicle at the terminal and come out again at the club, with luggage help at both ends. One group rides per vehicle, so the car is yours alone from curb to coast, with no extra stops and no sharing the back seat with strangers. The route is straightforward and the fare is fixed at booking, so the ride stays calm and predictable from the moment you step off the ship.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
