From $155 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sunset Suites Pompano Beach 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.
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.
Sunset Suites Pompano Beach is your base on the quiet stretch of coast that runs through Pompano and Deerfield Beach, north of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. By road it lies about 38 miles from the cruise terminals at the Port of Miami, so once your ship clears customs you are one straight run up the interstate from checking in and setting down your bags. This is a low-key part of the shoreline, built around Pompano’s old fishing village and the broad, well-kept sands that Deerfield Beach is known for.
Step outside and the ocean end of town is close at hand. The Pompano Beach Fishing Pier and the Deerfield Beach Pier both sit within easy reach of the hotel, either one a short walk or a quick drive when you feel like watching the anglers or catching the water at first light. The Pompano Beach Amphitheater is neighboring for evening shows, and Quiet Waters Park gives you green space and calm water a little inland when you want a break from the surf.
What most travelers notice first is the pace. This coast stays unhurried, with the fishing pier, the beach, and the small streets of Pompano and Deerfield giving the neighborhood its steady, easygoing feel rather than the crowds you find farther south. Our drop-off covers Pompano and Deerfield Beach and the streets right around your stay, so the ride ends at the door of Sunset Suites rather than somewhere you then have to find your own way from.
The trip is one clean run from the Port of Miami up to Sunset Suites Pompano Beach, roughly 38 miles by road and about 61 to 77 minutes terminal to door depending on the hour and the traffic on the way north. Your chauffeur is staged for your ship’s actual arrival, so when you walk off with your bags the vehicle is already there waiting, not something you have to hunt down at the curb. It is your group in the car and no one else, from the pier straight to the hotel.
Your luggage rides in the vehicle with you, and the driver handles the loading and unloading at both ends, so you are not wrestling suitcases anywhere along the way. Gas and typical tolls are already inside the flat fare, the chauffeur speaks both Spanish and English, and the whole thing is timed around your sailing rather than a fixed slot. You settle in once, and the next stop is the door of Sunset Suites Pompano Beach.
