From $240 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Smoke Inn 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Smoke Inn sits up the coast from PortMiami, out in the Palm Beaches near West Palm Beach. It makes a simple landing spot for a cruise group that would rather keep the water close, since the shoreline is only steps from the door. Plenty of guests who check in after disembarking swap the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they walk down the gangway.
The setting is the draw. You are within reach of downtown West Palm Beach, where the day tends to gather around Rosemary Square, the galleries at the Norton, and a palm-lined promenade that traces the waterfront. It is the kind of place where the cruise does not have to end the minute you step off the ship — the coast simply carries on, only now it holds still.
Because Smoke Inn keeps the ocean this near, it suits travelers who want the move from cruise to shore to feel short. You arrive with your bags, the beach is right there, and the rest of the Palm Beaches — its downtown, its art, its waterfront walk — waits a short distance on for any extra days you have planned around West Palm Beach.
The journey runs about 71.4 miles from the terminal to Smoke Inn, following I-95 for most of the way. Plan on roughly 89 to 105 minutes on the road, depending on whether you catch quiet hours or heavier traffic. Your driver tracks your ship’s actual arrival, so the vehicle is staged at the terminal when you walk off rather than tied to a slot cut to the minute.
Once you clear customs and the luggage hall, your chauffeur is waiting with the included port wait time — up to 60 minutes past the scheduled pickup — to absorb the usual delays. Your bags go into the vehicle at the curb, you settle in, and the drive heads straight up the coast to the door at Smoke Inn, with luggage assist again at the far end.

There were six of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Smoke Inn was far simpler than splitting into cars. The ride from the terminal to Smoke Inn was quiet and relaxed, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
Fuimos de crucero con una tropa grande y queríamos al grupo entero en un solo viaje privado a Smoke Inn tras desembarcar. Ya guardamos el contacto para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami. Llegar a Smoke Inn directo desde la terminal significó que pudimos hacer el check-in y por fin darnos una ducha tras la semana en el mar.
My wife and I finished a wonderful cruise and followed it with a private car ready at the curb to take us to Smoke Inn — no fuss at the port. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out. No app to fight with — we just went straight from the curb into the car. Made getting off the ship so easy.
vale cada peso, buena relación precio-calidad.
Our family of five came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver had room for all the suitcases for the ride to Smoke Inn. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
