This is a terminal-to-door private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Jensens Twin Palm Resort Marina — about 174.7 miles and 197–205 minutes along I-595 — booked in advance at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle, with a bilingual chauffeur and full luggage assistance included.
These are one-way, per-vehicle rates for transfers to or from Port of Miami; the price you book is the price you pay.
The most reliable option is a pre-booked private transfer: a reserved black SUV assigned to your group, timed to your ship’s arrival, staged at the terminal when you walk off.
From the pier it is one run along I-595 — about 174.7 miles — ending at the door of Jensens Twin Palm Resort Marina.
It feels closer to riding with friends than hailing a car — premium service, personal and organized, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
The trip normally runs 197–205 minutes for the 174.7-mile route.
Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s rush — thousands of passengers walk off the ships at once — so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, with the I-595 traffic already priced into the plan.
Every reservation carries free wait time:
The flat rate is honest because its edges are clear — these are not included:
Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:
No high-rises on Sanibel: just the lighthouse, the refuge’s mangroves, and sand that surrenders more shells than anywhere else in Florida.
For rooms, parking, and check-in questions, the property itself is the source — see Jensens Twin Palm Resort Marina’s official page.
Choose by headcount and luggage — every option is private and runs direct between the terminals and Jensens Twin Palm Resort Marina.
Staying at Jensens Twin Palm Resort Marina puts the shoreline steps away — plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark.
On a run this long the difference between a packed shuttle and your own vehicle is the whole day: you set the departure, the pace, and the playlist.
the J.N. ‘Ding’ Darling National Wildlife Refuge and the Sanibel Lighthouse sit within easy reach of the stay, with Bowman’s Beach and Blind Pass also nearby in Sanibel & Captiva.
Reserving is simple: half now, half on the day, and a fair cancellation window.
At your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island — the driver is coordinated by message as you exit the hall and meets your group at the curb. Tell us the cruise line and we stage at the correct terminal.
As soon as your group clears the terminal — self-assist walkers are often out within the first hour, checked-luggage groups a little later. Your booking includes 30 minutes of complimentary wait, so the pace of customs never costs you the ride.
Yes. One seat for a child under 5 rides free on every booking; additional seats carry a small fee listed in the add-ons section of this page.
We watch the port schedule and shift the pickup to the ship’s actual arrival — no penalty, no re-booking. The same applies to delayed flights on airport legs.
For dawn embarkations or late-night returns, a modest after-hours amount applies:
Disembarkation mornings are exactly when app prices spike: thousands of passengers request cars at once and an Uber or Lyft fare can multiply at the terminal curb. A reserved transfer to Jensens Twin Palm Resort Marina is priced before any of that happens, and it cannot move.
After a week at sea, certainty beats convenience-on-demand: the reservation carries a built-in wait window, luggage help at the curb, and a driver who has run these terminals hundreds of times.
