Mariner’s Seafood Boil vs. Sailor’s Seafood Boil
The Mariner’s Boil is the larger, upgraded version of the Sailor’s Seafood Boil. The key differences:
| Mariner’s Seafood Boil | Sailor’s Seafood Boil | |
| Lobster | Full Maine lobster tail | Not standard |
| Crab | 1/2 lb. snow crab legs | Not standard |
| Shrimp | 1 dozen | Included, smaller portion |
| Sausage | Add-on only (+$5.99) | Often included |
| Price | $48.99 | Lower |
If you want the full “surf” experience with lobster and crab, the Mariner’s is the boil to order. If you want a lighter, more budget-friendly version, the Sailor’s is the better fit. Prefer a plated meal over a boil-in-a-bag? Compare it against the Signature Feasts menu or the Land & Sea Classics for other surf-and-turf-style options.
Family Meal Option
For takeout or delivery, Red Lobster also offers a Mariner’s Seafood Boil Family Meal, scaled up to feed a group. It follows the same flavor and spice customization as the single-portion version but is priced and portioned for sharing. This option is generally available for off-premise ordering only (not dine-in). Browse more group options on the family meals menu, or check the catering menu for larger events.
