From $195 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sea Gate Hotel 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Sea Gate Hotel sits in Delray Beach, and its biggest draw is what waits just outside the door: the shoreline is only steps away. Plenty of cruisers who check in here swap the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark, walking to the water while the rest of the day is still theirs to shape.
The town around the hotel has its own quiet character. Delray Beach began as a winter art colony, and it has kept that easygoing, creative feel ever since. Old School Square anchors the arts scene, the Morikami Museum and its Japanese gardens sit a short way off, and the main street runs with a lively mix of cafes and shops that leads you naturally down toward the sand. It is the kind of place where a stroll turns into an afternoon without much planning.
Because the property puts the beach and the walkable center of town within simple reach, most guests locate they do not need to go far once they reach. You can settle in, drop your bags, and be looking at the ocean in minutes. Whether you came for a slow beach stretch after your sailing or a base to explore the galleries and gardens neighboring, Sea Gate Hotel keeps the good parts of Delray close at hand, so arriving is the start of the day rather than another leg of the journey.
The journey runs terminal to door as one clean leg. Your chauffeur meets you curbside at your cruise terminal, not off in a parking lot, and because ships rarely clear every passenger at the same minute, the pickup is planned around your ship’s actual arrival with a 60-minute wait built in. That window absorbs customs and the luggage hall, so you walk out and the vehicle is already there.
From the pier it is a single run up I-95 to Delray Beach, about 50 miles, ending right at the entrance of Sea Gate Hotel. Plan on roughly 75 to 91 minutes depending on the hour, since traffic on I-95 is the only real variable. Your bags stay with you in the vehicle the whole way, with full luggage help at both ends, and there are no extra stops or shared pickups along the route. Your group rides together, and the driver takes you straight to the door.
