From $260 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Palm Beach Sportfishing Lodge 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Palm Beach Sportfishing Lodge is your landing spot in the Palm Beaches, the run of coastal towns that reach north up Florida’s Atlantic shoreline from Miami. From the cruise terminal it’s a single direct leg — the kind of arrival where you step off the ship, obtain your bags in the vehicle, and ride straight to the door without changing cars or hunting for a connection along the way.
The Palm Beaches keep a simple coastal rhythm. Downtown hums around Rosemary Square, the galleries of the Norton draw art lovers year-round, and a palm-lined waterfront promenade gives you somewhere to walk once the road part of the day is behind you. Settle in at the lodge and the beaches, the dining, and the water are all within the same compact stretch, so most of what you came for sits close once you’ve checked in.
Arrival day itself is meant to be simple. You clear the terminal, your bags go to the curb, and one direct ride carries you to Palm Beach Sportfishing Lodge — no shuttle line to join, no dragging luggage across the port to locate the next leg. At the port, your driver coordinates the pickup by message as you walk off the ship, so the timing follows your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock. On the return, or when you’re heading out from the lodge, look for the vehicle at the main entrance and step straight in.
Your chauffeur meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, helps with the bags at the curb, and loads everything into the vehicle before you pull away. From there it’s one direct run north up I-95 to Palm Beach Sportfishing Lodge — a single leg with no added stops and no strangers sharing the ride. Plan on roughly 101 to 115 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and how the traffic is moving.
Because the pickup is planned around your ship rather than app availability, the driver is already lined up when you disembark. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest window, with thousands of passengers walking off at once, so the timing follows your actual arrival and a 60-minute wait window absorbs a slow gangway. Message us as you come off, and the vehicle is waiting for your group alone.
