Longer Than Guests Expect
Marco Island to Southwest Florida International is 60 to 75 minutes — north off the island, through Naples, then up I-75. Guests routinely underestimate it, because the island feels close to Naples and Naples feels close to the airport, and neither impression survives contact with a Saturday in March.
We schedule this route conservatively for that reason.
Departure Timing
| Flight | Leave Marco Island |
|---|---|
| Domestic, off-season | 3 hours before departure |
| Domestic, in season (Jan–Apr) | 3.5 hours before departure |
| International connection | 4 hours before departure |
The island has a single practical approach. In season, that road is the constraint.
Resort and Rental Pickups
We collect from the JW Marriott Marco Island, the Hilton Marco Island Beach Resort, the island's private clubs, and residential rentals across the island. For resort departures we coordinate with the bell desk so luggage is down and ready rather than being fetched while the car waits.
Arrivals
We track your inbound into RSW and adjust automatically. Meet & greet at baggage claim is available and worth taking on this route — arriving with beach luggage after a connection is exactly when you want someone carrying bags.
Alternatives
For private aviation, Marco Island Executive (MKY) puts you on the island directly and reduces this transfer to a few minutes. Naples Airport (APF) is 30 to 40 minutes. Both are worth considering if your travel is flexible.
