Action Charter Service Inc.

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!

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.
