From $600 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sharpes on Florida’s Space Coast.
Every fare below is the flat total for the whole vehicle, set the moment you reserve and unchanged by traffic or by how the disembarkation morning runs. Pick the tier that matches your group size:
As your group comes off the ship and clears the PortMiami terminal, the driver is already waiting at the curb. The ship’s arrival is tracked before pickup, so an early or delayed disembarkation shifts the meeting time rather than costing you the ride. A 60-minute courtesy wait runs from the pickup time you agreed, covering the stretch while your party gets through customs and collects its bags. Ask for a name sign in advance and the driver will hold it up, which makes the meet-up straightforward in a busy crowd on a full disembarkation morning. From the curb it is a swift load of the luggage and a direct start north — no shared vans, no other riders, no second stop before Sharpes.
Sharpes is a small, quiet residential community in Brevard County, set along the Indian River side of Florida’s Space Coast well north of Miami. It has a low-key, waterfront feel rather than the bustle of a tourist strip, and cruise passengers headed here are commonly visiting family, resting before or after a sailing, or using it as a peaceful base near the wider Cocoa and Cape Canaveral area. That surrounding region is where the Space Coast beaches, riverside parks, and the well-known space-industry attractions draw most visitors. Whatever brings your group north, the driver delivers you straight to the Sharpes address you provide.
The route runs north up I-95 toward Florida’s Space Coast, so the trip to Sharpes is a regional intercity haul rather than a swift crosstown hop, and the exact time on the road shifts with the day and the traffic. Disembarkation mornings are the busiest window: when several ships clear PortMiami at once, the streets around the terminals and the highway on-ramps back up, so an early, pre-booked pickup keeps your party ahead of the crowd. Once the car is on the interstate heading north, the pace settles into steady highway cruising. Whatever the traffic does, the flat rate never moves — the price is locked at booking, not metered by the mile. If a flight or a set check-in time waits at the far end, mention it when booking so the pickup is built around it.
A rocket launch on the Space Coast draws thousands of spectators onto Brevard County’s roads and keeps them there through the launch window and the drive home afterward. A scrubbed attempt commonly slips to the next day, and the crowds move with it. Check the launch schedule for the day you arrive and pass it along when you book, so the final stretch into Sharpes is timed around the event instead of caught in it.

Viajando por mi cuenta tras el crucero, no quería estrés en el puerto, así que un auto privado hasta Sharpes me hizo la mañana fácil. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — bajar del barco y subir a un auto que esperaba, sin estrés. Ya los guardé para mi próximo crucero desde PortMiami.
For an easy disembarkation, my partner and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us to Sharpes.
There were nine of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Sharpes was far simpler than splitting into cars.
Con los niños, reservar un auto privado de la terminal a Sharpes significó nada de correr la mañana del desembarque. En el auto íbamos solo nosotros — sin nadie más a quien esperar — un alivio tras una semana a bordo. El viaje a Sharpes fue cómodo y sin apuros, con clima controlado, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
