From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Gasparilla Inn Beach Club 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.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
The Gasparilla Inn Beach Club sits in Boca Grande, a quiet coastal community along Florida’s Gulf Coast. It is a beach club retreat set well away from the cruise crowds, the kind of place travelers pick when the destination is meant to feel peaceful from the first minute. After a long day at sea, the pace of Boca Grande tends to slow everything down in the top way.
Your ride ends at the property’s own entrance, not a corner or a lot down the road. The chauffeur takes you to the main entrance and helps with every bag from the vehicle to the door, so you walk into the lobby with your hands free. Because the drop-off covers Boca Grande and the streets right around your stay, there is no second leg to sort out once you arrive — the car brings you the whole way to the club itself.
That matters most at the end of a run this long. Coming off the ship in the morning and then covering the distance up the coast, you desire the last stretch to be simple: one vehicle, one route, one door. The Gasparilla Inn Beach Club is the endpoint of the trip, and the transfer is built around getting your group there together and settled without a shuffle at the finish. Tell us the property and we plan the arrival around it, so the ride hands you off cleanly to the start of your stay in Boca Grande.

Everything you require rides inside the car. Luggage travels with you, the vehicle is reserved for your group alone, and the chauffeur speaks both English and Spanish. It is a genuine road trip north, which is exactly when a private vehicle earns its keep — room to stretch, your own climate, and a clean handoff at the property’s main entrance when you pull in.
