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. The crew will take pictures for you and air-drop, or text them to you. 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.
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!

4 Hour Trip PM - Summer on June 22, 2024
We did this as a family fishing trip. Our booking had to be changed due to weather and rough conditions, but the captain was great about calling to communicate and rebook us. The first thing I noticed is how clean the boat is. The crew obviously takes a lot of pride in their vessel. We did the early morning 6 hour trip and caught the boat limit on snapper. It was really fun to watch the deck hands hustling all around to grab the fish as they were brought in. The crew fillet the fish back at the marina, which is great, but you do need to bring extra cash for this. It’s a very reasonable rate for the time and mess they save you. One group was trying to bend the rules on how fish is divided and the crew handled it well. I imagine this is a daily issue of people not listening to the pre-trip instructions and wanting to do their own thing. We had a group of 7, so went home fillets from 14 snapper to cook that night. It was a wonderful trip. You can’t bring electronics or phones which is a little sad because it’s not easy to find disposable cameras these days. We were able to take pictures on the dock. I imagine it’s much safer to not have people distracted while fishing hooks are moving everywhere, but it’s also to protect their fishing spots. It’s unfortunate they need to do this but they need to protect their business. We would do it again. It was worth it.

6 Hour Trip AM - Summer on July 3, 2024
My only comment would be that there are no electronics allowed and while this is likely similar to other charters and understandable I was not aware until night before. I was told the deck hands would take photos however that was not true nor really realistic due to how busy deckhands were during fishing. So no pictures of children's first fishing trip. If this is important to you plan to bring a camera without GPS capabilities. However the overall experience was great and I would absolutely use them again I would just nuy a camera so I could get photos.

4 Hour Trip PM - Summer on July 27, 2024
Had an enjoyable time out on the water during this 6 hour trip. They definitely stick to the schedule in terms of time. I would have liked to do more fishing and less riding but it is exactly 2 hours of fishing and roughly 4 hours of riding on the 6 hour trips. We did catch the limit in fish with was impressive. The deckhand Ben was awesome and very knowledgeable, and Shawn was awesome to talk to as well! Can’t go wrong booking with these guys for a fun day fishing!
