WHOA!! The "ship" is a 65 foot charter boat. The "fire" was the Generator windings smoking really bad. NO FLAMES, NO FIRE. Yes we did cancel the trip unfortunately and we naturally refunded every ones money. SOOO SORRY we wasted YOUR TIME, It cost me $25,000.00 but we are sorry that you had to cancel your trip.

    Now that is fishing!

    4 Hour Trip PM - Summer12 adults2 children

    We brought a group of 16 to Action Charters. It worked really well. We caught a good amount of Beeliners (Vermilion snapper). Enough for a fish fry with hush puppies for everyone. The captain was very professional and knew his spots. The fish were good-sized. The four-hour trip was our test trip. Even the younger kids, who did get a little board, now want to try the six-hour trip. Well done! Looking forward to the next trip! For a walk on a head boat, this was just perfect! The AC in the cabin was also a big hit for the in-between times. We brought PB&J with chips and drinks, which was excellent for our group. Thank you, Action Charters.

    Mom's Day Out

    4 Hour Trip PM - Summer1 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 - Summer2 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.

    Good trip giving the conditions

    6 Hour Trip AM - Summer3 adults

    I was worried about the weather and finding fish but Captain George put us on fish right out of the gate. we had out limit in no time. Even with the high seas he kept us on fish and did an excellent job getting us back safely. I would highly recommend this to anyone beginner or experienced fishermen.

    Best Trip

    6 Hour Trip AM - Summer2 adults

    My wife and i went out on a 6 hour trip. It was her first time and we limited out as a group within 45 minutes. The crew was great, lots of help and they were very patient with the newbies. We’re looking forward to booking another trip with these folks!
