From $185 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Highland Beach — flat rate, cruise-terminal meet & greet, door to door.
Each fare below is the whole-vehicle rate for your group to any Highland Beach address, fixed when you book and left untouched by traffic or the hour of day.
Anyone returning from a foreign port clears a federal inspection hall inside the building before stepping into daylight, and no driver is allowed into that secured zone. Send a swift WhatsApp once you have cleared the hall and are outside with your luggage, and your driver — already staged curbside at the assigned PortMiami cruise terminal — comes to meet you. Ask for a name sign when you book and the driver holds one for $40 so you locate each other in the disembarkation crowd. Meet and greet is included on every booking, and the vehicle holds a full week of cruise bags with ease.
Highland Beach is a low-key barrier-island town in Palm Beach County, set on the Atlantic shoreline just above Boca Raton and below Delray Beach. It leans residential rather than resort: low-rise oceanfront condominiums, private beach access, and an unhurried, salt-air rhythm that fits travelers slowing down at the end of a sailing. There are no theme-park queues here — the draw is the shoreline itself, the walkable side streets, and the shops, marinas and dining of the neighboring coastal towns a short ride away. For local details, the Town of Highland Beach official website lays out the basics.
This is a longer coastal haul rather than a short local hop — the vehicle heads north from PortMiami up Florida’s Atlantic side toward Highland Beach. No stopwatch figure is quoted for the route, since the real duration turns on when your ship releases passengers, how thick the disembarkation crowd runs, and the hour you set off. What holds steady is the plan: the driver follows your ship’s schedule and builds in a cushion so the car is ready when you actually reach the curb. On a run this long, a single short rest stop of up to 30 minutes can be arranged if you ask ahead. You ride door to door to your drop-off, with no shared passengers and no side detours.
Morning-of-disembarkation pickups are the most common booking here. Reserve at least a day out and share your ship plus the date you step off, and the driver plans to line the vehicle up with your terminal release. The sailing’s timetable is watched throughout, so the car is in position as you come out — even if the walk-off is running late.
A good share of Highland Beach lives behind gates — oceanfront condo buildings and small private enclaves where a security desk or a call box screens who comes in. Have your host leave the passenger name at the front desk, and hand over the building name and any entry code as you book. That single step decides whether the driver rolls straight up to the door or waits outside while you sort out access with cruise bags in hand.

Mi esposo y yo queríamos un traspaso limpio en PortMiami, así que coordinamos un viaje privado a Highland Beach. El conductor metió toda la pila de equipaje para que no tuviéramos que batallar con todo. En el auto íbamos solo nosotros — sin recogidas de otros — justo lo que queríamos.
