This is a shared, family-sized meal — these figures represent the entire bag, not a single portion. Divide by the number of people you’re serving (4–5) for a rough per-person estimate. As with any boil-style meal, sodium and fat run high due to the butter sauce and sausage; it’s designed to be split, not eaten by one person.

- Shellfish (shrimp)
- Milk (butter sauce, Cheddar Bay Biscuits®, cheese)
- Wheat/Gluten (Cheddar Bay Biscuits®; smoked sausage may also contain wheat-based binders)
- Soy (commonly present in smoked sausage and butter blends)

Sailor’s vs. Mariner’s Family Meal
| Sailor’s Seafood Boil Family Meal | Mariner’s Seafood Boil Family Meal | |
| Lobster | Not included | Included |
| Crab | Not included | Included (snow crab legs) |
| Sausage | Included standard | Add-on only |
| Serves | 4–5 people | Larger group portion |
| Price | $74.99 | Higher, reflecting lobster & crab |
If you want the full surf experience with lobster and crab for the group, the Mariner’s Family Meal is the upgrade. If you’re feeding a crowd on a budget and shrimp-and-sausage is enough, the Sailor’s version is the better value. Want a plated, dine-in option instead of a boil-in-a-bag? Browse the Signature Feasts menu.
Ordering: Takeout & Delivery Only
This meal is strictly available for To-Go or Delivery orders — it’s not offered for dine-in service. Order directly through Red Lobster’s own ordering system or your preferred delivery app, and check regional availability before placing your order, since it can vary by location. Feeding a bigger group? Check the catering menu instead.
Is It Worth It?
At $74.99 for a meal serving 4–5 people, the Sailor’s Seafood Boil Family Meal works out to roughly $15–19 per person competitive for a hot, shareable seafood spread that would otherwise take significant time and cleanup to make at home. It’s best suited for groups who want the boil experience without needing the premium lobster-and-crab upgrade.
Make Your Own Seafood Boil at Home
If you love the flavor but want to recreate it yourself, a homemade seafood boil follows the same basic formula:
- Boil red potatoes and corn in a large pot of well-seasoned water (Old Bay, garlic, bay leaves) until just tender.
- Add smoked sausage, cut into rounds, and simmer a few minutes to release flavor.
- Add shrimp last, cooking just 2–3 minutes until pink — overcooked shrimp turns rubbery fast.
- Drain, then toss everything in melted butter mixed with your seasoning of choice (Cajun, garlic, lemon pepper, or a hot honey drizzle for sweet heat).
- Serve straight from the pot, shaken together in a bag or dumped onto a lined table for the full mess-friendly boil experience.
This isn’t Red Lobster’s proprietary recipe — it’s a general seafood boil method inspired by the same flavor combinations offered on their menu.

Can I swap the shrimp for crab or lobster?
Not within this specific meal it’s fixed to shrimp and smoked sausage with no substitutions. To get crab legs or lobster tail, you’d need to order the Mariner’s Seafood Boil Family Meal instead, which is the higher-priced, upgraded option.
Is the Sailor’s Seafood Boil Family Meal spicy?
It depends on the flavor you choose. Cajun and OLD BAY® & Butter Sauce lean mild-to-medium, while Roasted Garlic and Lemon Pepper are non-spicy by default. You can add Spicy, Extra Spicy, or Scorchin’ on top of any flavor if you want more heat.
Does the Sailor’s Seafood Boil Family Meal come with biscuits?
Yes. Red Lobster’s standard To-Go policy includes two warm Cheddar Bay Biscuits® with every To-Go entrée. Double-check your order for delivery, since biscuits are sometimes missed in the bag.
How do I reheat leftovers?
Place the seafood and sides in a baking dish, cover with foil, and reheat in the oven at 275°F (135°C) for 15–20 minutes. This keeps the shrimp tender and prevents the butter sauce from burning or separating. Avoid the microwave if possible — it tends to overcook the shrimp and make it rubbery.
