From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Catalina Hotel & Beach Club 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.
The Catalina Hotel & Beach Club sits in South Beach, the walkable stretch of Miami that packs the classic postcard into one grid. Step outside and you are minutes from the sand at Lummus Park, the pastel facades that line Ocean Drive, and the pedestrian energy of Lincoln Road. It is a fitting place to land after a cruise, close to the water and to the streets people picture when they think of this part of the city.
The setting is the draw. The surrounding Art Deco Historic District gives the neighborhood its color and its rhythm, while Española Way adds a narrow, café-lined pocket a short walk away. The New World Center is close by too, so evenings out never require a long journey. From the property you can reach most of what South Beach is known for on foot, which makes it a simple base whether you are staying one night before flying home or settling in for a longer visit.
When your ride pulls up, look for your driver at the main entrance. For rooms, parking, and check-in details, the property itself is the place to ask, since those specifics come straight from The Catalina Hotel & Beach Club and change with the season. Our part is getting you there directly, bags and all, so the first thing you do after a cruise is not haul luggage down Ocean Drive. The ride ends at the door, and the neighborhood takes it from there.
This is a door-to-door private transfer. Your driver stages before you clear the terminal hall on Dodge Island and meets your group at the curb, so the waiting is theirs and not yours. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the terminal, and from there it is a single, direct leg to South Beach along SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway, with no stops and no detours added on the day.
Count on roughly 6.4 miles and about 21 to 23 minutes terminal to door, from a light morning to a heavy one. Disembarkation crowds stack up speedy at the exits, but because the driver is already in place, the pace of customs never costs you the ride. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone, so you leave when your group is ready and head straight to the front entrance of The Catalina Hotel & Beach Club.
