received exactly what I ordered in…

received exactly what I ordered in great shape, on time, with healthy live lobsters.

Couple that with the ease of ordering online and at fair prices and you've got a winning combination to rely on.

New England great in Florida

We are from New England, and were visiting my folks in Florida for the Holiday weekend. They haven’t had lobster since they moved five years ago. Our order arrived as schedule, all of our lobsters were alive and some of the sweetest lobster we’ve had! We will definitely be ordering again!

Family Reunion Lobster Boil!

Bought two boat run boxes for our family vacation in the Outer Banks. The lobsters arrived on time, perfectly packed, and fresh. We had a lobster boil for 40 people and the next day had lobster rolls (New England style). Lobster Online was easy to do business with and delivered a great product!

Jennifer Martin

Jennifer Martin. Since this was a big order for me (30 pound boat run box), I contacted her several times to better understand what I would get, how to get it on time for 4th of July, and how to store the lobsters overnight. Her responses were timely and informative and I am not sure I would have closed the deal without her guidance. The lobsters were terrrific - an abundant number of feisty, good sized specimens - and I would do this again for a big party.
