From $415 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Flamingo Inn 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.
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.
Flamingo Inn is where this ride ends: a place to stay in Marathon, out in the middle stretch of the Florida Keys. Marathon sits along the Overseas Highway, the single road that carries you down the island chain, with water on both sides for much of the way. When you book a private transfer to Flamingo Inn, the whole point is a straight run from the cruise terminal to the door of your stay, without figuring out the last leg yourself after a long day at sea.
Because Marathon is strung along one main road, arriving is refreshingly simple. Your chauffeur follows the highway to the property and pulls up at the entrance, so the first thing you handle is checking in, not hauling bags from a far-off drop point. The setting is the reason people come this far into the Keys in the first place: peaceful water close at hand, a simple pace, and a base to settle into for the rest of the trip.
Everything about the arrival is built around your group alone. One party rides in the vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur handles the bags from curb to lobby, and the pickup is staged around your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot. Fuel and typical tolls are already inside the fare, and courtesy wait time is part of every booking, so the pace of disembarkation never costs you the ride down to Flamingo Inn within that time.
This is a door-to-door run, terminal to Flamingo Inn, with no shared stops along the way. Once your group clears the cruise terminal on Dodge Island, your chauffeur meets you at the curb, loads every bag, and heads south for Marathon. Your luggage stays in the vehicle the whole time, and the car is reserved for your party alone from the first message to the final drop.
From PortMiami the route runs down toward the Florida Keys along the Overseas Highway, ending at the entrance of Flamingo Inn. The pickup follows your ship’s real arrival, with sixty minutes of complimentary wait built in, so a slow customs line or a late-clearing exit does not throw off the plan. The rate is agreed up front and does not move on the day, fuel and typical tolls included, so the drive is settled before you ever step off the ship.

Profesionales de verdad. fácil mantener a la familia junta, la verdad el wifi funcionó, los chicos se entretuvieron en el camino.
Booked the night before, picked up on time, done.
Easy ride, fixed fare, no surprises from the terminal to Flamingo Inn. Would book again. Booking was simple, we got clear pickup details, and everything matched what we were told.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car meet us at the terminal for the ride over to Flamingo Inn was the best part of the day. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
The little ones were done after a week at sea when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Flamingo Inn in one piece. Booking was simple, we got everything in writing, and everything lined up perfectly. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Flamingo Inn, it was well worth it.
