From $385 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.

Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort is a Gulf Coast stay in the Fort Myers region of southwest Florida, pairing a beachside base with an on-site pub and grill. The name lays out the shape of the place plainly: you settle in near the water, eat and drink without going anywhere, and use the resort as a home base for the surrounding region rather than a spot you only sleep in.
The location puts a good slice of Fort Myers within easy reach. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates and the downtown River District sit close by, and together with a revived riverfront they give the city much of its character. Hammond Stadium and the Caloosahatchee River are also nearby, and the region’s spring-training ballparks sit out toward the edges of town, so a few extra days here can fill themselves without much planning.
Arrival is meant to be the easy part. After a long run up from the coast, the day comes down to clearing the terminal, getting your bags to the curb, and riding straight to the resort door with no side stops. Traveling with little ones after a cruise is routine on this route, so families settle in the same way anyone else does. If you are building extra days around the journey, the official Fort Myers Islands & Beaches visitor site is a solid place to plan the rest of your stay near Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort.
Booked ahead, the ride turns disembarkation into a short walk to a waiting vehicle. Your chauffeur meets you curbside at your own cruise terminal, not out in a parking lot, helps with the luggage, and loads everything into the vehicle that is reserved for your group alone. From the pier it is one direct run to Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort, with no added stops along the way.
The drive covers roughly 156 miles, mostly along I-595, and usually takes about 163 to 174 minutes from terminal curb to the resort door, depending on traffic and the hour. Because Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guess, and the expected I-595 traffic is already built into the plan. Bag help is included at both ends of the journey.
