From $350 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sunrise Bay Resort Club in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
Sunrise Bay Resort Club sits on Marco Island, the barrier island that rises out of the Ten Thousand Islands along Florida’s Gulf coast. The setting pulls together a crescent of Gulf beach, resort towers, and mangrove backwaters where dolphins work through the channels. After days at sea and the bustle of the terminal, it reads as a real change of scenery — quiet water instead of the crowded port you just left behind.
Arrival day here is refreshingly simple. Drop your bags at Sunrise Bay Resort Club and the coast is a short walk away, which makes a slow afternoon by the water the natural first move once you are ashore. For the details that belong to the property itself — rooms, parking, and check-in — the resort is the top source, since those pieces sit with the front desk rather than with your ride.
The island rewards travelers who like to wander a little. Numerous guests fit in Tigertail Beach and a look out over the Ten Thousand Islands once they land, with Cape Romano and Rose Marina also close at hand around Marco Island. Between the Gulf beach on one side and the mangrove backwaters on the other, the region gives you both a stretch of sand and a taste of Florida’s wilder coast. It is a simple place to settle into after a cruise, whether you are staying on for a beach break or merely passing a comfortable night before the journey home.
The journey is one private leg from the cruise terminal straight to Sunrise Bay Resort Club. Your chauffeur is staged before you clear the terminal hall, so the wait belongs to the driver rather than to you. Once your bags are loaded at the curb, the vehicle heads out to Marco Island with no shared stops along the way — your party has the whole vehicle to itself, door to door.
Plan on roughly 136 miles and about 137 to 145 minutes on the road, depending on the hour and the traffic. Your luggage rides with you the whole distance, and the same flat per-vehicle rate covers the reverse run on embarkation day when you book both directions together, with each pickup timed around your ship’s schedule.

Los pequeños estaban rendidos tras una semana en el mar cuando bajamos, y una van privada ya en la acera llevó a todos a Sunrise Bay Resort Club sin dramas.
