From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Grande Hotel & Yacht Club in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Grande Hotel & Yacht Club sits in Fort Lauderdale, the city people call the Venice of America for the canals that thread through it. Waterways run from Las Olas all the way out to the Intracoastal, and a beachfront promenade stretches for miles neighboring. It is the kind of address where a boat slip feels as natural as a parking space, and where the water is never far from the door.
The location puts a lot within simple reach. Las Olas Boulevard, with its shops and restaurants, is close by, and Fort Lauderdale Beach is a short journey away. The Riverwalk winds along the New River downtown, and Port Everglades sits just to the south for anyone connecting to another sailing. It is a compact, walkable slice of the city once you have dropped your bags and settled in.
Arriving after a cruise, you will find the canals and the ocean shaping the pace of the place. Mornings tend toward coffee and a stroll along the water; afternoons open up to the beach, the boulevard, or a slow look at the yachts moving through the locks. Whether you are here for a night before flying out or a longer stay, Grande Hotel & Yacht Club gives you a quiet, water-facing base in one of South Florida’s most photographed neighborhoods, with the top of Fort Lauderdale a few minutes in almost any direction.
The journey is door to door. Your driver is staged at your ship’s terminal before you finish clearing the hall, so once your group walks out, the vehicle is already there. Bags go straight into the car and stay with you the whole way, no luggage sitting on a sidewalk while you wait. The route follows I-95 north for roughly 28 miles, dropping you at the entrance to Grande Hotel & Yacht Club.
Plan on somewhere between 47 and 64 minutes, depending on the hour you leave. Disembarkation mornings pile up quickly at the terminal exits, but the wait is the driver’s, not yours, thanks to the 60 minutes of complimentary wait time built into every port pickup. That window absorbs customs and the luggage hall, so the clock does not start against you while you are still inside. You walk out, you get in, and Grande Hotel & Yacht Club is the only stop.
