From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Pelican Lake Motorcoach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Pelican Lake Motorcoach Resort is a dedicated motorcoach resort, made for travelers who reach with their own coach and desire a settled base rather than a passing overnight stop. It sits on the opposite side of the Florida peninsula from PortMiami, out on the Gulf coast near Naples, so the trip trades the Atlantic and the cruise terminals for the quieter, slower rhythm of the west shore. After a week at sea, it makes a calm place to land and unwind.
The setting around it is the real draw. Naples pairs powder-soft beaches and its long fishing pier with the galleries and shops of Fifth Avenue, and a botanical garden rounds out the list when you desire a simple afternoon. Everything about this stretch of coast leans toward unhurried days — sand, water, and a walkable downtown — a fitting contrast to the packed pace of a cruise itinerary, and a good reason to offer yourself time once you settle in.
On arrival, the resort side is straightforward. Amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in are all covered on Pelican Lake Motorcoach Resort’s own official page, so you can confirm the details that matter to your group before you journey. Whatever hour the ship’s schedule leaves you with, you can plan the day around your real check-in window instead of guessing. Tell us the ship and the arrival date, and the ride to Pelican Lake Motorcoach Resort is set to meet you where the day actually begins — at the terminal curb, ready to run west.
Book the ride before you dock and the hardest part of disembarkation is already handled. Your chauffeur is waiting at the cruise terminal, timed to your ship’s actual arrival, and loads the bags at the curb. From there it is one direct leg to Pelican Lake Motorcoach Resort — no other pickups, no detours, your group alone in the vehicle the whole way across the state.
The route runs west on Southwest 8th Street and US-41, crossing the peninsula toward the Gulf coast, covering roughly 125 miles. Plan on about 126 to 136 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and the traffic. The luggage stays with you in the vehicle for the entire trip, and the flat fare you booked already includes fuel and typical tolls, so nothing gets added along the way.

Reliable, relaxed conversation, never pushy.
Tras el crucero, mi esposa y yo no íbamos a jugárnosla con un transporte en la terminal, así que coordinamos un auto privado a Pelican Lake Motorcoach Resort. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no había duda de cuál era el auto al salir. Pasamos de la terminal a una cama de verdad sin nada de qué preocuparnos en el medio. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
Viajaba solo y dejé listo un auto privado para que me esperara en el puerto al bajar del barco y llevarme directo a Pelican Lake Motorcoach Resort. Reservar fue rápido, recibí todo por escrito, y todo calzó perfecto. El conductor se encargó de cada bolso para que no tuviera que batallar con todo.
First time cruising solo out of PortMiami, and having a private car ready at the curb for the trip to Pelican Lake Motorcoach Resort took the worry away. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so I never had to rush through customs. Getting to Pelican Lake Motorcoach Resort first thing meant I could settle in without waiting around. Highly recommend.
Viajaba solo y reservé un auto privado para que me esperara en la terminal de cruceros al bajar del barco y llevarme directo a Pelican Lake Motorcoach Resort. El conductor metió toda la pila de equipaje para que no tuviera que hacer fuerza. La tarifa estaba fija desde la reserva, sin nada extra en la acera.
