“We were on vacation when the Surfing Crab was recommended to us for great seafood meal. We went on our second night of vacation. We decided on the snow crab and shrimp which came with corn, potatoes and sausage with the Surfing Crab house seasoning. It was delicious. Our waitress answered every question we had and was very attentive. The manager came around twice and the assistant manager came around once to talk and check on us. I spilt my drink and even the clean up crew was there immediately and were very polite. We highly recommend and if we are ever back in town we will surely eat there again.“

“I went there yesterday, 8/29/25. Mentioned that I had traveled down from Austin. Marie came out and greeted me. When I got to my aunt's house, I found she had added more fish, sopapillas and cherry pies to my order. Thank you, Marie. The food was delicious. I will come by each time I come down from Austin. You have gained a loyal customer.“

“Don't let the size or the area fool you, the shrimp cocktail was on point. One of the best places in CC that I've had in my opinion. Love how they added fresh chopped jalapeño on the side so I could spice it up to my liking. Absolutely nothing bad to say about this establishment. Plan to return in the near future as a regular when I'm craving a SC. Also, I tried their hot sauce for the first time and maaaaannnnnn they need to sell that in stores!!!! Freaking A1!!!! We plan to ask if they sell it by the bottle lol. Must ask about it if you like spicy stuff.“

“This place is home made good!, i definitely recommend The Red Boat🤞🏽🦍🙏✅“

“We spend our 21st Anniversary here but will be back! What a view and fresh fish/seafood entrees can't be beat. Make sure you pay attention to the daily specials and make a reservation in advance!! Highly recommend!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 9/10 We were invited by the mgmt to dine in and experience what looked to be a refreshed take on the restaurant — and it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive, and the food? Absolutely outstanding. Flavorful, well-presented, and the portion sizes were way beyond what we expected. It’s clear the team is putting in serious effort to turn things around and make a strong impression. If I had one small piece of feedback, it would be to consider adding a few more servers or lightening the table load a bit — our server did an amazing job, but was definitely stretched thin. Overall, a fantastic experience and a spot we’ll gladly return to. Hats off to the team for taking charge and setting the tone right.“
