How to Get to Naples Beach Club from the Airports
From the nearest commercial airport (Southwest Florida International, RSW) you will typically take ground transport (taxi, rideshare, or private car service) toward Naples and then use the resort’s arranged boat/ferry transfer for the final on-water leg to Naples Beach Club; the closest private/charter airport is Naples Airport (APF) for small planes. Exact boat-transfer meeting points and schedules are set by the resort—contact BookResorts agents at +1 (888) 605-1350 or the hotel concierge to confirm before travel.

Which airports to use
Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers is the main commercial option for most travelers and offers the widest choice of scheduled flights. The property materials and destination guides list RSW as the most convenient commercial-airport choice for Naples.
Naples Airport (APF) is the closest field for private and charter flights. It serves smaller aircraft and is commonly used by private-aviation travelers visiting Naples.
- RSW (Southwest Florida International) — best for commercial flights and flight choices
- APF (Naples Airport) — closest for private or charter flights
- Other regional airports (Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Tampa) are possible alternatives but are farther away and require longer ground segments
| Airport | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Southwest Florida International (RSW) | Commercial flights; broad schedule |
| Naples Airport (APF) | Private/charter and GA traffic |
| Other regional airports | Alternate options with longer transfer time |
How to get from RSW to Naples Beach Club
From RSW you will arrange ground transport toward Naples. Local travel guides and resort information advise taking a taxi, rideshare, or pre-booked private car service for the airport-to-Naples ground segment.
Because the property is reached via the resort’s water transfer for the final on-water leg, confirm with the resort or BookResorts whether you should go directly to a Naples-area marina/transfer point or meet the resort’s arranged ground+boat transfer. The resort’s concierge can provide the exact meeting location and boat schedule.
- Taxi or rideshare from RSW to Naples (prepaid or app-based services available)
- Pre-booked private car or shuttle service — useful for groups or timed arrivals
- Contact BookResorts agents (+1 (888) 605-1350) or the resort concierge to arrange the resort’s boat transfer or learn the designated pickup point
| Step | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Ground segment from RSW | Taxi, rideshare, or private car to Naples-area meeting point |
| Resort boat/ferry transfer | Final on-water leg to the property (confirm schedule with resort) |
| Hotel arrival | Port-side arrival; porter/concierge assistance available |
Arriving via APF (Naples Airport) and private-charter options
If you arrive into Naples Airport (APF) on a private or charter flight, ground transfer time to the resort’s boat pickup point will be shorter than from RSW. APF handles general aviation and private flights rather than scheduled commercial service.
Many private-aviation travelers coordinate directly with the resort’s concierge or BookResorts so the final transfer leg (boat or short car-to-boat connection) is timed to meet the incoming flight. Confirm arrivals and clearance procedures with your charter operator and the resort.
- Use your charter operator to confirm where the resort prefers to meet private flights
- Notify the resort concierge of your APF arrival time to coordinate the boat transfer
- Smaller aircraft may park at fixed-base operators (FBOs); ground transport from the FBO to the resort’s meeting point will be needed
| Arrival type | Coordination tip |
|---|---|
| Private charter to APF | Tell your operator to confirm FBO and ground pickup details with the resort |
| Private plane with independent arrival | Contact BookResorts or resort concierge in advance to set the boat transfer meeting time |
| Commercial connection into APF (limited) | Verify any ground transport options with the airport and the resort |
Boat/ferry transfer and on-water logistics
The resort operates an on-water transfer for the final leg to Naples Beach Club; this is the typical way guests arrive for the property’s island setting. Specific pickup locations, schedules, and whether a ground segment is required are handled by the resort’s concierge and transfer desk.
Because boat transfer details (departure times, exact dock locations, group vs. private launches) can change, always confirm your planned arrival time with the resort or BookResorts before travel so the boat can be scheduled and staff are prepared to meet you.
- Confirm the dock/meeting point and pickup window with BookResorts or the resort concierge
- Have the name on the reservation and arrival flight details handy to speed coordination
- Expect porter/concierge assistance on arrival at the dock; ask about luggage limits on the boat if you travel with oversized items
| What to check with the resort | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Boat pickup location and time | Ensures staff meet you and avoids missed launches |
| Luggage allowances for the boat | Prevents surprises with large or heavy items |
| Whether a ground shuttle is included | Clarifies if you need to arrange taxis/rideshares to a marina |
Ground transport options and practical tips
For the airport-to-meeting-point leg, the standard options are taxi, rideshare (Uber/Lyft), or a pre-booked private car or shuttle. Public transit is limited in the area and is not a reliable option for timed boat transfers.
If you prefer a seamless experience, ask BookResorts or the resort concierge to arrange a meet-and-greet transfer that includes the ground portion and the boat launch. This reduces coordination on arrival and is useful for families or guests with heavy luggage.
- Rideshare/taxi: widely available at RSW; confirm the marina meeting address with the resort before requesting a ride
- Private car service: good for groups or strict schedules; pre-book and share flight numbers
- Resort-arranged transfers: the concierge can combine ground pickup and boat transfer—confirm costs, pickup point, and luggage policy
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
| Rideshare/taxi | Solo travelers or small groups with flexible arrival times |
| Pre-booked private car | Families or travelers needing guaranteed pickup and trunk space |
| Resort-arranged transfer | Guests wanting one-reservation coordination for ground + boat |
Before you travel — confirm and pack for the transfer
Confirm with BookResorts (+1 (888) 605-1350) or the resort concierge the full transfer plan (which airport, ground pickup point, boat transfer time, and baggage limits). Arrival windows can affect launch timing, so give accurate flight numbers and expected arrival times.
For the boat leg, pack a small carry-on for essentials and any items you want during the short water transfer. If you have special equipment (large surfboard, oversized luggage), contact the resort in advance to check whether the boat can accommodate it.
- Call BookResorts or the resort concierge to confirm transfers and dock locations before departure
- Provide flight and passenger details to allow for changes or delays
- Pack valuables and immediate needs in an accessible carry-on for the boat ride
| Item | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Flight number and arrival time | Allows the resort to adjust pickup if flights are delayed |
| Contact number for lead traveler | Resort/driver can reach you on arrival |
| Small carry-on bag | Keeps essentials with you during the boat transfer |
