From $350 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Marco Island Resort & 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.
Marco Island Resort & Club stands on Marco Island, a barrier island that rises out of the Ten Thousand Islands along Florida’s Gulf coast. This is the far southwestern edge of the mainland, where a crescent of Gulf beach meets resort towers and quiet mangrove backwaters. Those channels run full of dolphins, and the water sets the tone for everything around the property.
Coming off a cruise, you arrive somewhere built for slowing down. The resort puts you right on the coast, so a beach afternoon becomes the natural next move once you have traveled south from the port. Hand over the bags at Marco Island Resort & Club, change your pace, and walk to the water — the Gulf is that close. After days at sea, trading the ship’s deck for an open stretch of sand is a simple adjustment.
The island keeps the good stuff within simple reach of your stay. Marco Island Beach and Tigertail Beach both sit close by, each its own kind of shoreline. Beyond them, the Ten Thousand Islands spread out in a maze of mangrove keys, and Cape Romano waits farther down the coast for anyone curious enough to explore. It is a compact base with a lot of Gulf coast wrapped around it, which makes settling in simple: unpack once, and the beaches, the backwaters, and the wildlife all belong to the same stretch of shore.
The ride begins the moment your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur is organized by message as you come off the ship and meets you at the curb — not in a parking lot, and not after a long walk. Your bags go straight into the vehicle with a hand from the driver, and the reservation carries 60 minutes of complimentary wait, so the pace of customs never costs you the ride within that time.
From the pier it is one run to Marco Island Resort & Club, roughly 136.0 miles along Southwest 8th Street and US-41, with no stops unless you ask for one. Plan on about 134 to 142 minutes terminal to door, depending on traffic. The vehicle is yours alone, fuel and typical tolls are already inside the fare, and the route ends right at the resort.
From the Port of Miami, plan on about 2 hours 20 minutes and 136.0 miles to reach Marco Island Resort & Club via I-75 (Alligator Alley). Prices are per vehicle, not per seat: $350 for the Black SUV, $460 for the Van, $560 for the Van XL. Pickup is at your cruise terminal curb at PortMiami.

Eu viajava sozinho e combinei um carro privativo para me esperar no meio-fio do terminal quando o navio atracasse e me levar até Marco Island Resort & Club. Já guardei o contato para o meu próximo cruzeiro saindo do PortMiami. A última coisa que se quer depois de uma semana no mar é uma viagem que não acontece, e esta foi confiável e pontual.
