This is a terminal-to-door private transfer to or from Port of Miami and SouthSeas Resort Captiva Island — about 174.2 miles and 183–191 minutes along I-595 — booked in advance at a flat rate from $510 per vehicle, with a bilingual chauffeur and full luggage assistance included.
Each rate below covers the whole vehicle one way, to or from the cruise terminals — never per person, never surge-priced.
Book the ride before you dock and disembarkation becomes the easy part: your dedicated SUV meets you at the terminal and runs straight to SouthSeas Resort Captiva Island, no stops.
From the pier it is one run along I-595 — about 174.2 miles — ending at the door of SouthSeas Resort Captiva Island.
Reserving is simple: half now, half on the day, and a fair cancellation window.
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.
Hotel pickups happen at the lobby door at the agreed hour. Terminal pickups are timed to disembarkation, with half an hour of free waiting so customs lines never cost you the ride.
Staying at SouthSeas Resort Captiva Island puts the shoreline steps away — plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark.
Choose by headcount and luggage — every option is private and runs direct between the terminals and SouthSeas Resort Captiva Island.
Traveling with little ones after a cruise is routine for us:
No high-rises on Sanibel: just the lighthouse, the refuge’s mangroves, and sand that surrenders more shells than anywhere else in Florida.

The fare includes complimentary waiting:
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
It feels closer to riding with friends than hailing a car — a better experience, personal and organized, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
The trip normally runs 183–191 minutes for the 174.2-mile route.
Disembarkation mornings stack up fast at the terminal exits; your driver is staged before you clear the hall, so the wait is theirs, not yours, and I-595 does the rest.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Yes — the same flat one-way rate covers the reverse leg. Book both directions together and each pickup is planned around your ship’s schedule.
Plan on one checked bag plus a carry-on per passenger in the SUV; the vans carry proportionally more. Message us about oversized items and we confirm the right vehicle.
Yes — book both legs together (each priced at the flat one-way rate) and the return pickup is scheduled for your sailing date.
Ships sail on their own clock — pickups outside the 7:00 AM–9:00 PM window carry a small surcharge:
An app assigns whoever is nearby, in whatever car they drive, at whatever the surge says. A reservation assigns a specific vehicle to your group at a fixed fare, staged for your ship’s arrival — a different product for a morning when everyone leaves at once.
There is also the wait itself. A rideshare is requested only after you clear the hall and hauls you to a pickup zone; our driver is coordinated by message as you exit, with 30 minutes of courtesy wait already included, and a schedule change on your side is a message, not a new fare.

A short message with your travel date, party size, and cruise line is enough — we reply with the confirmed flat rate and the terminal pickup plan for SouthSeas Resort Captiva Island.
Message first rather than calling — we are often mid-service with other clients and answer texts fastest.

Curbside pickup is our main approach. Just message us your exit gate and the driver will roll up within minutes — typically quicker than the classic sign-holding option.
Should you rather have the driver wait in the terminal holding a sign with your name, we can set that up too for $20
The day before your ride, we’ll message you the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and its license plate, plus step-by-step curbside pickup directions.
No need to stress. We’ll message you the moment your flight touches down. If we don’t hear back quickly, the driver will automatically make his way to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll locate you; we never leave anyone stranded.
