From $210 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to your Ocean Ridge address.
Each price below covers the whole vehicle, not a seat, and it is set the moment you book — pick the tier that matches your group and the cruise luggage coming off the ship.
Cruise mornings at the Port of Miami move quickly — several ships can empty within the same hour, and the terminal frontage fills with coaches, taxis and porters crossing between lanes. Once you have your bags and clear customs, send a short message that you are outside and wait at the building edge instead of wheeling luggage across live traffic. If the group includes children or a stack of heavy cases, staying put by the doors while the car comes to you is quicker and safer than meeting somewhere out in the lanes. A curbside meet-and-greet comes with every booking, so the driver brings the vehicle to the sidewalk, loads the cases there, and points the car north. Because ship arrival is tracked as it happens, a late berthing only shifts your pickup time, with no re-booking and no fee for the delay.
Ocean Ridge is a small barrier-island town on the Atlantic side of Palm Beach County, built around low residential streets, protected shoreline and easy walk-throughs to the sand. There is none of the high-rise density of downtown Miami here; the pace is coastal and quiet, with public beach access, dune walkovers and a settled, small-town feel that suits travelers unwinding after a sailing. The pull is the Atlantic shoreline itself — open public beach, dune trails and calm coastal parks that work well for families — while the surrounding towns fill in the casual seaside dining, marinas and small downtown strips. Because the town is mostly homes, numerous visitors base themselves in the neighboring stretch of southern Palm Beach County, where Boynton Beach, Lantana and Delray Beach sit a short local hop away and hold most of the lodging, dining and waterfront to explore. You can read the town’s own details on the official Ocean Ridge website.
From the port the route climbs north on I-95 toward the Palm Beach County coast, and the time it takes hinges mostly on when you pull away from the terminal. A mid-morning or midday departure tends to move freely up the interstate; a weekday rush or a heavy multi-ship disembarkation slows the first miles out of the terminal area more than the open highway that follows. Once past the port roads, the northbound run settles into an even, coastal pace toward the barrier island. None of that changes the number you agreed to, since the fare is one-way and fixed per vehicle at booking rather than metered by time or distance. The driver runs the whole journey door to door — the terminal curb at one end and your Ocean Ridge address at the other — with the luggage handled at each stop.
From the Port of Miami, plan on about 1 hour 22 minutes and 58.7 miles to reach Ocean Ridge via I-95. Prices are per vehicle, not per seat: $210 for the Black SUV, $330 for the Van, $405 for the Van XL. Pickup is at your cruise terminal curb at PortMiami.

Got there before our cruise boarded. Saved it for next time
Los dos salimos en crucero desde PortMiami y tener un auto privado listo en la acera para el viaje a Ocean Ridge hizo la mañana fácil. El viaje a Ocean Ridge fue cómodo y sin apuros, con clima controlado, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero. En el auto íbamos solo nosotros — sin recogidas de otros — justo lo que queríamos.
We got off the ship with the kids and a mountain of luggage, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Ocean Ridge so easy. The car was clean, cool, and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship. No rideshare app to fight with — we just went straight from the curb to the car. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Ocean Ridge. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
Cruising with the family, we didn’t want any disembarkation-day chaos, so a private van waiting at the terminal Ocean Ridge made the day. Booking was quick, we got everything in writing, and everything matched what we were told. It was only our group in the car — no side pickups — which was a relief after a week aboard. Made getting off the ship so easy.
