From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Naples Beachwalk Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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.
Naples Beachwalk Inn sits in Naples, over on Florida’s opposite coast from the cruise port. This is the quieter Gulf side of the state, where the pace slows and the water turns to powder-soft sand. When your ride pulls up, the drop-off covers Naples and the streets right around your stay, so you finish the journey at the door rather than a curb three blocks away.
What makes this corner of Naples easy to like is how much sits within reach once you settle in. The Naples Pier and Fifth Avenue South are both close, which puts the water on one side and galleries, shops, and dining on the other. Third Street South is nearby too, another walkable stretch worth an afternoon, and the Naples Botanical Garden rounds out the mix for anyone who wants greenery over pavement. It is the kind of base that lets you split your days between the beach and the town without much planning.
The appeal here is the balance. Naples pairs its powder beaches and the pier with Fifth Avenue’s galleries and the botanical garden, so a single stay covers sun, strolling, and something cultural whenever the mood shifts. After a long crossing of the state from the port, checking in at Naples Beachwalk Inn means the last leg of travel is behind you and the Gulf coast is right there waiting. You step out of the vehicle, your bags come with you to the door, and the rest of the day belongs to Naples.
The journey runs from your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island straight across the state to Naples Beachwalk Inn. Your chauffeur is coordinated by message as you clear the terminal hall and meets your group at the curb, so there is no line to stand in and no scramble to find a car. The bags go into the vehicle at the port and come out again at the door in Naples, with the driver handling them at both ends.
From the terminal the route takes I-75, which carries you west and then south in one direct leg to the Gulf coast. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, so you set the departure and the pace of the day. Fuel and standard tolls are already folded into the flat fare, which means nothing new gets added along the way. When you reach Naples Beachwalk Inn, the ride ends at your stay rather than a drop-off point down the block.

Last leg of a long travel day handled without fuss.
Para un desembarque fácil, mi esposo y yo hicimos que un conductor privado nos recibiera en la terminal de cruceros y nos llevara a Naples Beachwalk Inn. Pasamos de la terminal a una cama de verdad sin nada de qué preocuparnos en el medio.
A few friends and I came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the port to Naples Beachwalk Inn. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — a relief after a week aboard.
I was cruising on my own and arranged a private car to meet me at the terminal curb once the ship docked and take me right over to Naples Beachwalk Inn. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so I never had to rush off the ship.
Al salir del barco solo, lo último que quería era resolver el traslado en el puerto, así que tenía un auto privado reservado para ir a Naples Beachwalk Inn. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — todo se acomodó solo en la terminal.
