From $385 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Shell Point Guest House 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.
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.
Shell Point Guest House sits at 15040 Shell Point Blvd in Fort Myers, on the southwest coast of Florida where the Caloosahatchee River opens toward the Gulf. After a long day at sea, it is the kind of address that feels calm the moment you reach it — a quiet base well away from the noise of the port, with the river and its wide water views close at hand.
Set in Fort Myers, the guest house keeps you within reach of the things that give the region its character. The revived downtown River District, with its walkable streets and riverfront, is an easy outing, and the Edison & Ford estates are among the region’s top-known stops. Baseball fans are in good company here: JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium anchor the spring-training scene on the edges of town, so a game is rarely far off during the season.
When your private ride pulls up to the entrance, your chauffeur carries the bags to the door and leaves you at the threshold — no parking lots, no long walk from a distant curb. Because the vehicle is booked to a flat, per-vehicle rate, the number you agreed to is the number you pay, all the way to Shell Point Guest House. From there the rhythm of Fort Myers is yours to set, whether that means the river, the ballparks, or merely an early night after the cruise.
The trip runs about 161 miles from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to Shell Point Guest House, and the source routing puts it at roughly 161 to 170 minutes door to door, depending on the hour and the traffic. Your chauffeur takes the group straight across the state to Fort Myers with no shared stops and no detours — just one private vehicle carrying you and your luggage the whole way.
Everything happens curbside at your terminal. Your driver is staged for your ship’s actual arrival, so once you clear customs and collect your bags, the vehicle is waiting and the luggage goes in the back. From there it is a single quiet run west to the entrance of Shell Point Guest House, where your bags come out and you step straight inside.
