From $150 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Surf Rider Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Surf Rider Resort puts you in the Pompano and Deerfield Beach area, up along the north Broward coast where the shoreline stays peaceful and unhurried. This is a part of the region that never let go of its fishing roots, and that easygoing character carries into the streets and the sand around the property. When you arrive, you are stepping into a stretch of coast built for slow mornings and long afternoons by the water rather than crowds and noise.
What guests tend to locate first is how close everything is to the ocean. The neighborhood is known for its renovated piers, its family-friendly beaches, and a steady fishing culture that shapes the local rhythm. Drop your bags at Surf Rider Resort and the water is an easy walk away, which makes a beach afternoon the natural first move once you are off the ship. Anything about the stay itself lives on the resort’s own page; our job is merely getting your group to the door.
The setting also keeps you near a handful of local landmarks worth your time. The Pompano Beach Fishing Pier and the Deerfield Beach Pier are the classic stops for anyone who lands ashore ready to be outside. If you desire more than the sand, the Pompano Beach Amphitheater and Quiet Waters Park sit neighboring as well, giving the area a mix of coastline, open green space, and live events without a long drive between them. It is a relaxed home base for the days that follow a cruise.
The run from the Port of Miami to Surf Rider Resort covers about 36.5 miles and normally takes 63 to 78 minutes along I-95. Disembarkation mornings stack up rapidly at the terminal exits, so your driver is staged and ready before you clear the hall. The wait is theirs, not yours. You walk out, meet your chauffeur at the curb, and the group travels together in one vehicle reserved for your party alone.
Every bag rides inside the vehicle with you, carried from the terminal to the curb by your driver so there is no luggage-on-the-sidewalk scramble. From there it is a straight door-to-door journey north, dropped right at the entrance of Surf Rider Resort with your bags set down beside you. One group, one vehicle, one locked fare for the one-way run, with fuel and standard tolls already covered.
