Port Manatee sits right in our backyard in Palmetto — the closest port we serve, and an easy 20-minute hop from Bradenton. For cruise sailings departing from Port Manatee, a quick door-to-door ride beats leaving your car in port parking for the whole length of a sailing. You step out at your front door and step out again at the gangway, luggage handled the entire way.

We time your drop-off to your boarding window so you arrive relaxed, not rushed. And when your ship returns, we're already there as you disembark — no waiting at the port, no wondering whether a rideshare app will find a driver willing to make the run. Just a confirmed ride home.

  • Drop-off timed to your boarding window for a calm, on-time arrival
  • Help with luggage, door to gangway
  • Guaranteed pickup when you disembark — reserved in advance
  • Clean, late-model vehicles with full commercial insurance

Why Ride with Jagg to Port Manatee?

The reliable alternative to surge pricing and the long-term parking shuffle

Our closest port

Port Manatee is right here in Palmetto — a short, easy hop with your luggage handled start to finish. No long highway haul, no stress, just a quick comfortable ride to the gangway.

Don't leave your car parked

Parking at the port for a whole cruise ties up your vehicle and adds fees on both ends. One flat round-trip rate means your car stays home and you go straight to the ship.

A pickup that's guaranteed

No cancellations, no "no driver available" when you step off the ship. Your disembarkation pickup is reserved with a vetted, fully insured local driver who's there when you are.

Port Manatee in Palmetto is about 12 miles from Bradenton — roughly a 20-minute drive. It's the closest port we serve, making it a short, easy hop on the way to your sailing.

Why not just drive and park at the port?

Will you be there when my cruise gets back?
