Action Charter Service goes the extra mile to make sure your trip is affordable and memorable. They want you to enjoy your trip enough to tell all of your friends to come fishing with them on their vacation! Captain George Pfeiffer is the owner. With more than 40 years of experience, he has been fishing these emerald green waters of the beautiful Gulf Coast from Panama City, Florida, to the Texas coast.

For the Captain and the charter to sustain their excellent reputation of quality and service, they must insist on the policy that any type of electronic device that can give out the location of their fishing coordinates is not brought aboard. This would include any GPS-capable device, such as mobile phones, Ipads, digital cameras, handheld GPSs, digital watches, Air Tags, Tiles, and similar equipment. You can bring a disposable camera.
Action Charter Service reserves the right to scan passengers coming onboard for such items, and to deny service to anyone with such a device. If this policy is breached mid-trip, it will conclude and the customer will forfeit the cost of their trip.

NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES with camera and GPS options are allowed onboard. Bringing such a device will result in a denial of service.

You're required to arrive 30 minutes before your departure time for a mandatory safety briefing. Please note that the departure time may be delayed if some group members are late for a security briefing.

Capt. George offers a couple of different types of trips, including a 4-hour walk-on trip for beginners, that’s the introduction into bottom fishing; and a 6-hour walk-on trip where you get twice as far off-shore and catch more fish. These trips need a minimum of 15 passengers to run and can accommodate groups as large as 50 people.

Let Action Charter Service be your next stop on your vacation and show you the very best fishing on the Alabama Gulf Coast!

    Mom's Day Out

    4 Hour Trip PM - Summer on June 15, 2026 • 1 adult

    I brought 4 girls 21 and under here to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday and thought after that, I deserved a little mom time. I booked for an evening fish initially, but the captain called and said it was canceled, but he was so sweet to get me on a morning fish. This was my first time deep sea fishing. We caught our limit of snapper and headed back before a storm hit. I would highly recommend this trip. The crew was amazing and the captain knew what he was doing. I would give 10 stars if I could.

    Better than i expected

    6 Hour Trip AM - Summer on June 2, 2026 • 2 adults

    Didnt really know what to expect when I booked this for my son and myself, but I’m so glad I did. The experience was top notch. Deckhands were exceptional and the captain was not only ON THE FISH, but had a great personality to boot. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be rebooking on a return trip to Perdido.

    Better than Zekes

    4 Hour Trip PM - Summer on June 1, 2026 • 3 adults

    We come to the area every year and fish. After going to Zekes for years, last year we felt a little disrespected there, so we decided to try a new place this year. Glad we did!!! Better boat, friendly staff, caught lots of snapper, better price. I highly recommend

    We had a blast and caught more than we could eat!

    6 Hour Trip AM - Spring on May 20, 2026 • 2 adults

    This was a great trip with a very knowledgeable crew. If they weren't biting, we didn't stay long and were put right back on top of fish. Even though we are staying in Florida, we will come here for our fishing trips from now on!

Captain George Pfeiffer was born and raised in Pensacola, FL. He's spent his entire life on the water, starting from a dock on the Emerald Coast when he was a little boy. Since then he's fished all over the place, northwest Florida, South Alabama, the Gulf Coast of Alabama, Mississippi Delta – he's chased that fish all around! He wants to put his customers on the best bite so much that he's been building his own underwater fishing reefs and wrecks for the past 20 years. With over 4 decades of guiding experience, you're in good hands when you're on a trip with Capt. George.
