From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Marco Beach Ocean Resort 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Marco Beach Ocean Resort sits on Marco Island, the largest of the Ten Thousand Islands strung along Florida’s southwest coast. The property puts the shoreline only steps from your room, so the beach is less a day journey than a walk out the door. For travelers stepping off a cruise, it is a quiet change of pace after the crowds of the ship — real sand, open water, and room to spread out.
The island itself gives you ample to fill the days that follow. Marco is known for its shelling beaches, and Tigertail’s lagoon is a short outing for anyone who wants calm, sheltered water. Boat docks around the island point straight toward the Everglades, making Marco a natural launch point for time on the water. Rose Marina and Cape Romano sit neighboring as well, and the wider Ten Thousand Islands spread out just beyond the resort for exploring by boat.
Guests here often trade the ship’s pool for the beach the same afternoon they disembark, and it is simple to see why — the sand is right there, waiting. Marco Island Beach and the Ten Thousand Islands are the two things most people fit in once they land ashore, and both are close at hand. Arriving by private vehicle means you reach the door with your luggage already handled, ready to settle in and let the shoreline take over the rest of the day.
The ride begins right at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, so there is no dragging bags across the port to locate a car. Your chauffeur meets you after you clear the terminal, loads the luggage, and the group rides together in one reserved vehicle. From the port, the route follows Southwest 8th Street and US-41 for the roughly 107.5-mile run southwest to Marco Island.
Plan on about 135 to 143 minutes from the terminal to the resort door, depending on the hour and the traffic. Because ships rarely clear every passenger at the same minute, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, with wait time built in to cover customs and the luggage hall. You walk out, the vehicle is there, and the bags are carried to the curb for you — no scramble, no line, just the drive to Marco Beach Ocean Resort.

Levamos meus pais junto, cabine confortável, tudo limpinho. o porta-malas levou quatro malas grandes mais as de mão. Feliz por ter escolhido essa opcao. (estávamos com 4 malas grandes)
The eight of us came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the port to Marco Beach Ocean Resort. The fare was set up front, the same number we were quoted. We’ve already saved them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
My husband and I walked off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Marco Beach Ocean Resort. No lot to comb through — we just went straight from the curb into the car.
Cruising with the family, we didn’t want any disembarkation-day chaos, so a private van straight over to Marco Beach Ocean Resort was perfect. The fare was fixed when we booked, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning. The kids napped the whole way, and getting straight to Marco Beach Ocean Resort without a scramble at the port was exactly what we needed. Highly recommend.
Smoothest disembarkation we’ve had — driver at the curb, bags handled, straight to the door of Marco Beach Ocean Resort.
