From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Finegold Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
The Finegold Inn sits in Boca Raton, the manicured stretch of South Florida where Mizner-style arcades, trimmed golf greens, and open beach parks set the tone. It is a quiet base a short walk from the water, and that closeness is the point: plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark, bags already dropped and the whole day still ahead of them. After days aboard a ship, arriving somewhere this peaceful and this close to the coast makes the change of pace feel immediate.
What you locate on arrival is a walkable, low-key corner of the city rather than a crowded resort strip. The shoreline is near enough to reach on foot, so an early swim or a slow evening by the beach fits into the day without a second drive. Red Reef Park is one of the neighboring stretches of sand, and the surrounding streets carry the polished, unhurried feel that Boca Raton is known for. It is the kind of place where the first thing to do after checking in is merely walk toward the water.
The neighborhood keeps plenty within simple reach once you have settled in. Mizner Park and the Boca Raton Resort sit close by, and Gumbo Limbo Nature Center offers a simple morning among the mangroves and sea turtles for anyone traveling with children. Between the beach parks, the arcades, and the golf greens, The Finegold Inn works as a restful landing point after a cruise — somewhere to unpack once, sleep well, and step outside into a part of the coast built for slow, unhurried days.
Your ride to The Finegold Inn is door to door and planned around your ship, not around whatever is free at the curb. The chauffeur tracks the port schedule and is waiting when your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island, so there is no line to stand in and no luggage to drag across the port. Bags go straight into the vehicle at the terminal curb, and from there it is one direct leg north.
From the Port of Miami the driver takes Florida’s Turnpike, which keeps the roughly 47.9 miles to The Finegold Inn a single, uninterrupted run. Plan on 66 to 82 minutes depending on the hour, with Turnpike traffic the only real variable — the reason the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute. One group per vehicle, luggage handled at both ends, and a straight ride to the door.

My wife and I had a great sailing and capped it off with a private car ready at the curb to take us to The Finegold Inn — not one worry at the terminal. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
Right on schedule, professional, and the driver knew the terminal perfectly. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — exactly right for the morning.
First time cruising solo out of PortMiami, and having a private car waiting at the terminal for the trip to The Finegold Inn made it painless. There was a board with my name on it at the terminal doors, so I didn’t have to look around. The van was fresh and comfortable, a relief in the Miami heat.
Viajando con la familia, coordinamos una van privada para que estuviera en la acera y llevara a todos hasta The Finegold Inn.

Our family of five came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver had room for all the suitcases for the ride to The Finegold Inn. There was a sign with our name at the terminal doors, so we didn’t have to look around. The child seat was ready when we got in, which was one less thing to worry about.
