From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Republic Executive Suites 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.
Republic Executive Suites sits in Boca Raton, the coastal city that polishes the southern edge of Palm Beach County. This is the address your ride is built around after you step off the ship, a single destination reached as one direct leg from the cruise terminal. When the chauffeur pulls up at Republic Executive Suites, the bags come out at the door of your stay rather than at a distant lot, and the arrival is planned around your party alone.
Boca Raton gives you plenty of reasons to linger once the luggage is inside. Mizner Park anchors the center of town with its boutiques and open-air walkways, while the landmark pink resort stands as one of the city’s most recognized sights. Along the shore, Gumbo Limbo Nature Center keeps sea-turtle tanks that draw families in every season, and Red Reef Park offers another green stretch close to the water. These are the everyday landmarks that frame a stay at Republic Executive Suites, all within the same coastal city.
Because Boca Raton runs right along the coast, a beach afternoon is the natural next move once you have settled in. You can drop the bags at Republic Executive Suites and walk toward the water, or save the sightseeing for later and let the day unwind. Corporate travelers sailing out of Boca Raton locate the same convenience from the other direction, with one organized pickup covering the whole group, one vehicle, and one arrival time to plan around rather than a scattered set of separate rides.
The journey begins at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. As your group clears the hall, the chauffeur is organized by message and meets you at the curb, then loads every bag before you pull away. From there the route follows Florida’s Turnpike, keeping the run to Republic Executive Suites as a single, direct leg rather than a series of stops. Your luggage stays in the vehicle the whole way, door to door.
Plan on roughly 65 to 81 minutes from the terminal to the door of Republic Executive Suites, depending on how the Turnpike is moving that afternoon. Traffic is the only real variable, which is why the pickup is staged around your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute. One group, one vehicle, and a chauffeur who works the port every week and knows the terminals well.
