From $145 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sea Spray Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
Sea Spray Inn is a small beachside stay in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, the low-key coastal town that sits north of the cruise terminals along the shore. What draws most guests here is simple: the sand starts a few steps from the door. Plenty of travelers step off the ship in the morning and are standing on real beach the same afternoon, having traded the pool deck for the open shoreline within hours of disembarking.
The town around the inn has an easy, walkable rhythm. A short main street lined with ice-cream shops leads down toward the old fishing pier, and the water just offshore is known for a reef that divers reach straight from the beach — no boat needed, you simply walk in. That combination of a quiet resort town and an accessible reef gives the region a personality you do not find at the bigger beachfront hotels closer to downtown, and it makes Sea Spray Inn a comfortable landing point after a week at sea.
Anglin’s Fishing Pier is close at hand, and Datura Avenue runs nearby for a stroll or a bite. If you want a little green space or more time in the water, the shore-dive reef and El Prado Park are both within easy reach in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. For the hotel side of things — current amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in questions — Sea Spray Inn’s own official page is the place to confirm the details before you arrive, so your room and your ride line up cleanly.
Your driver is staged at the terminal and timed to your ship’s arrival, so when you clear the luggage hall and step outside, the vehicle is already there. You are met right at your terminal, not sent hunting through a parking lot, and your bags go straight into the vehicle with a hand at both ends of the journey. From the pier it is one clean run north, with gas and standard tolls already covered by the flat rate, and the vehicle reserved for your group alone the whole way.
Sea Spray Inn sits about 34.9 miles from the Port of Miami by road, and the drive normally runs 59 to 74 minutes from the terminal curb to the hotel door via I-95, depending on traffic and the hour. Disembarkation mornings crowd the exits quickly, but because the driver is waiting before you walk out, the wait is on their clock, not yours. You settle in, and the inn is the next stop.

Esperando en la acera apenas salimos, y un traslado cómodo hasta Sea Spray Inn. Teníamos una confirmación clara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal.
Con los pequeños, coordinar un auto privado de la terminal a Sea Spray Inn significó nada que resolver la mañana del desembarque. Reservar fue fácil, recibimos los datos de recogida claros, y todo coincidió con lo prometido.
I didn’t want to gamble on a ride the morning I disembarked, so I reserved a private car from the terminal to Sea Spray Inn. Getting to Sea Spray Inn first thing meant I could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
First time cruising on my own out of PortMiami, and having a private car there the second I walked out for the trip to Sea Spray Inn made it painless. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was reliable and on time. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled. Made getting off the ship so easy.
