For gillnet fisheries
Set nets where the fish come to you
Currents, bottom conditions, and fleet activity — so every set lands in the right stream, and every lift happens on the right day.
Why skippers switch
Legacy tools show data. Catchwise helps crews work with it. The difference shows up on the bridge — not on a spec sheet.
Faster in daily use
Quicker on the bridge, smoother underway. The small moments add up over a trip.
Deeper, not broader
Click, inspect, dig, compare. A workflow built to understand what's happening — not just a map of layers.
Built for captains
Heavy actual usage drives what we build. Crews reach for Catchwise because it makes their decisions easier.
Built for gillnet fisheries
Purpose-built for gillnet fisheries
Currents move the fish. We show you where they're moving — and where others are already set.
Currents that move fish into your nets
Surface and bottom currents updated hourly
Tidal data to time sets with the current
Species distribution in the areas you fish
Net tracking
See where your nets were set and how currents may have moved them. Plan lifts and new sets with confidence — not memory.
Fleet activity
Premium AIS to see where other gillnet vessels are working. Detect the signal of a good area before it's crowded.
Conditions the crew can count on
Hourly marine weather and up to 14-day forecasts
Wave data for safe net hauling
Historical weather patterns for planning ahead

Catchwise has become an important tool in my daily operations. Artificial intelligence gives us better decision-making foundations, saves time, and contributes to more sustainable fishing. Catchwise is forward-thinking and innovative, showing how technology can make a real difference in modern fisheries.

10/10 - Intuitive, innovative and practical. Easy to practice for all generations.
Kyrre Flemming Nilsen
Manager of Skjongholm
We wanted to be involved from the very beginning, as this is an opportunity to create something completely unique. With Catchwise, we connect experience and technology in a way that can change how we work with data and decisions for increased profitability and environmental impact

Ship Owner @ Hermes and Leader of the Norwegian Fishermen's Association
These numbers don't show that Catchwise alone creates the difference — fishing is affected by weather, quotas and the skippers' own decisions. But the pattern is consistent with feedback we receive.
