From $425 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami to St. James City, met at the cruise terminal and driven to your door.
Each fare below is the price for the whole vehicle, fixed the moment you book and unchanged by traffic or demand — no per-person charge for anyone in your cruise party.
On disembarkation morning at the Port of Miami, your driver is already in position as you step off the ship. Once you clear customs and collect your bags, the pickup happens curbside at your assigned cruise terminal, with no rideshare lot to hunt through and no app to refresh. Request a name sign over WhatsApp beforehand and the driver holds it where you exit the building. Every piece of cruise luggage is loaded for you, and then the ride heads straight out of the port toward St. James City with no shared stops along the way.
Pine Island’s southern tip is a quiet, largely residential corner rather than a crowded tourist strip. Independent eateries, a handful of small shops, and open community spaces set the pace, and the streets stay peaceful enough that unloading a week of cruise luggage after a long sailing feels unhurried. Your driver goes door to door to the exact address you offer — a private home, a short-term rental, or a local business — so there is no second leg to arrange once you reach.
Everything reaching St. James City by road crosses the water on the single connecting route through Matlacha, and there is no other way onto the island. If that crossing closes for weather or roadwork, the result is a wait rather than a quick detour, so pass along anything you hear about a local closure before your sailing ends and the pickup is planned around it. Because the ride runs straight to your address, the route stays as direct as the day’s traffic allows, and your driver reads conditions in real time to keep it moving.
Yes. The return rides on the same reservation: the driver collects your group from your St. James City address and brings you back to the Port of Miami in time to board, priced one-way in each direction. Name both dates when you book and a single plan covers the whole journey.
